8-9k went to a game that was around the corner, against a team most expected us to beat. Put this game, which realistically could go either way, in Huddersfield and even charging £11 for Adults, we just won't take north of 10,000

The GF is moot - it was our first appearance in 8 years, on the back of our best season in a long time and with a good chance of the title for the first time in over a decade.

I was meant to do £12.

I am doing a sports marketing degree.

Even so, I think our sport needs to take risks by making these events bigger. The long term benefits of making semi-finals a huge event in RL would far outweigh the benefits of an extra £11k profit.

I understand you are trying to patronise me as you do with most people, added to your classic "I said this months ago, here is a link"...... BTW staring Tommy turned out to be the best option... glad we didn't start McIlorum . Good RL brain over big hitters every time.

To be honest, nobody cares Rogues. All I care about is RL getting better and bigger. Small time semi-finals do nothing for the game. I would rather see the long term benefits of getting more and more people watching the game.

This now sounds like I am 'having a dig' or 'taking the micky', I am not, I respect your views, you clearly know a lot about RL and have seen the game develop from its very early years but I am not posting to show my business plan for the RFL to use. If you want to have a dig at some 20 year old lads then I suggest you go down to Wigan Park at all the yobs who ARE NOT trying to better themselves. I am quite aware of 'COSTS' but like I said, I am not on here to to a detailed business plan.

Finally if you actually disagree with the idea of moving to bigger stadiums with cheaper tickets then thats fine but I don't see how anyone could as long as the sport was making a similar amount of money. Maybe you are just being 'Rogues'

got a ticket off the web this morning!

happy days

Got my ticket online in the south stand and it says terracing but gives a seat number what does this mean? Standing or seated?

I like the idea of bigger stadiums for semis but it would have to be with double headers to make the ground look full.

The whole C Cup needs re-branding and a re-launch.
Saturday afternoons are clearly not attractive to fans and haven't been for decades. I've said for a while they should take the SKY TV slots at 8pm Friday and 6-7pm Saturday if they don't want double headers. If it stays with the beeb then on BBC2.
Transfer the SLS to BBC2 and it then becomes the beeb's RL channel.

Standing. The number is just to keep track of numbers sold really

What about the costs????


Do you have inside knowledge of the cost of hiring the Halliwell compared to the Galpharm?

The costs could be equal or less for the Galpharm, so unless you actually know the costs stop trying to be a smart.

Even though he got the maths wrong his point is valid, exposure and big crowds bring in other benefits, not to mention extra sales in beer and so on.

Then as more people get used to going to these things you bump up the price a little.

No risks taken = no gain made.

Jes I just defended a Wiganer, I feel all dirty.

Anybody know how many are left?

there must be a few cause i didnt have any trouble getting two tickets this morning. i am quite surprised actually cause i thought i'd struggle

Not many left for the South, probably best buying online to be on the safe side.

I thought that they wouldn't have even gone to general sale to be honest. Looks like most who wanted tickets are going to get them!
