| If we are now talking about freshening up the whole of the TV presentation, then sky has to be looked at and the age of the presenters reduced considerably.
If we want to attract a younger TV audience then we need to get sky to phase out Eddie and Stevo as Skys presentation is becoming tired and predictable.
It says something when you can play stevo bingo with his catch phrases, surely the penny must drop on "terra firma" soon

| Quote: maurice "Surely Balding has shown you need a great presenter who you then teach RL to, we seem to go for RL men who have no presentation skills.'"
I think you're right. Brian Carney would be my exception who as a former player has enough charisma to become a good presenter.

| Mike Cooper was excellent in the studio.
That's because the presenter got the very best out of him.
Sadly, that presenter has now left for another radio station.

One has a skill in putting bums on seats and raising the profile of sports, the other carries his own knife and fork everywhere.
The starting block for any changes is at redhall clear out the existing board who have overseen,a zero revenue sponsorship deal, 10m funding cut and a sport that is dwindling in participation, plus a list of cock ups as long as yr arm.'"

| years ago when channel 4 started showing american football they realized no one knew the rules or understood what was going on.
the first few years they ran a program the week before the season that basically explained what would be going on.
As the season started they would explain what teams were trying to do or what the rules were.
My point is that if we want to introduce people to TGG then we need to do the same.
Explain the thinking behind what teams are trying to do and the rules.
God knows there are people who have been going for years who would find it useful as well.

2012 Rugby Union Average Attedances
Saracens 36,877
Leicester Tigers 20,724
London Wasps 17,514
Gloucester 13,347
Harlequins 13,062
Northampton Saints 12,694
Bath 11,043
Worcester Warriors 8,413
London Irish 7,816
Exeter Chiefs 6,869
Sale Sharks 6,780
London Welsh 5,131'"
Not sure if they are simply averages over the half of the ongoing 2012/13 season to date and as pointed out the Saracens one includes the Twickenham fixture so you can probably disregard that one, the others are very healthy though.
What is less healthy in RU is the inability of the sport to spread professionally outside of its heartlands (is this sounding familiar), my brother is involved in coaching at our local RU club and I have done some admin for them so I'm well aware of the sort of support that they get from the ERU - its immense support - and I'm also aware of what support the likes of Leeds Carnegie give to their local amatuer clubs, but there is a huge lack of support back the other way.
When Leeds were in the premier league they struggled to get crowds above 5000 which given the number of amatuer RU clubs just in Yorkshire and their membership numbers (most of them run a team in each age group from 8 upwards), was actually quite pathetic - I've been to a lot of Leeds Carnegie games at Headingley on freebies that came via our local amatuer club, yet flooding the clubs with free tickets they still couldn't farm more than 5000 attendances.
Its a very strange situation and one which the holding company at Headingley have basically given up on now having withdrawn a lot of financial support and resigned to the fact that they are a second division team - there just isn't the support in the north for professional RU.

Union attendances dominate league. Take the last two world cups to be held in Austrialia the vast majority of games in both world cups were played in the so called league strongholds of queensland and new south wales.
2003 union world cup
Total attendance 1,837,547 average 38,282 per match
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2003_Rugby_World_Cup
2008 league world cup
Total attendance 293,965 average 16,331 per match

3076_1671446335.jpg SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

I guess geography is not your strong point, but I agree with your point about their attendances being inflated by the "on the road games"

20333_1393344959.gif Current thoughts - Mago out or get running up them plantations, get fit or get rid.
Maybe a back up halfback, someone with a bit of experience on a short term deal.
Big tall strong running second rower, like a McMeekin or Sironen type back rower.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_20333.gif |

| We can over inflate the gates as a means to getting better sponsorship deals and tv deals.

| Why are we going on about Rugby Union crowds for. What possible interest can that be to Rugby League supporters. If you are going to compare the size of the gate perhaps we should look at the price of their tickets as well.
