This is where they have the edge, even a mid tier game can suddenly with a bit of marketing savvy etc turned into an "Event" I mean look at when they had those double headers etc at Wembley - Packed out. I dont even follow the game but that story was everywhere to an extent that even myself, a RU avoider still know about it.
They might have an arguably inferior product but they cant half sell it.
