Just as well really, given that we've got Norris and Betty Turpin playing.
Actually, the preceding fortnight is the best time to sell an event in terms of TV, news and press mentions. Why do it months before and give people time to forget? |

The question 'seeing as none of the glamour/famous clubs are present in the final, what do the RFL need to do to sell the game to new people?'
NOT how many fans will they take. That question has been done to death.'"
I answered the question by saying they do not need to do anything different as wire and hudds will take enough fans. |

Jesus, you've missed the point entirely.
The game is on the BBC, which means there is no excuse not to watch it. Only there is - the two teams taking part are not teams people will have immediately heard of, Huddersfield more than Warrington, certainly.
I'm not on about ticket sales, I'm talking about general awareness of the BIGGEST and most famous fixture in the RL calendar. This will go under the radar if the RFL don't get their act together, mark my words. |

The game will sell itself - set up for an absolute classic IMHO.

Yeah it should just be saints v wigan/leeds/bradford every year then 
The challenge cup is an event that sells very well to the RL community as a whole and doesn't need to be sold. Think they'll be a lot made about none of the supposed big 4 making it for the first time in 20 odd years.
Funnily enough this is the first time I've not already got tickets as I was fed up of watching saints there and didn't want to go and put up with their crap. |

Yes, to rugby league fans. But AS I SAID IN THE OP, what about the general public?
Or don't you care? |

You think wrong, as well as being very predicatable.
I think it's quite clear from my posts that I care about RL as a whole, and care about selling our game as a great product.
Sadly, a lot of you don't seem to give a shiit. |

I think the fact that Warrington and Huddersfield have made it to the final will help boost the competition. The fact that the final is the first since 1998 not to have at least one of Wigan, Saints, Leeds or Bradford in will help reignite interest for many fans of other clubs. There is now a real reason for them to believe they can do the same. This could well result in a boost in attendances for all rounds next season as the cup will be seen as a more winnable trophy.
Forget the BBC promoting it, they didn't promote the earlier rounds so I don't expect too much promotion for the final.
