Oxford Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Good news story Lowy and I hope there are more to come; I think this quote sums it up really "The brains of humans contain a mechanism that is designed to give priority to bad news."

EssexRL Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Newcastle Thunder's ticket sales for the Friday (elsewhere on the Forum) is new though so sadly we have something to be happy about! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scubby Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 This story came out yesterday. No figures but new areas of the ground open apparently http://www.rugby-league.com/superleague/article/37439/dacia-magic-weekend-ticket-sales-soar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Wire Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I just popped into Red Hall for my tickets and asked how sales were going. They said that Saturday was selling particularly well with some areas already sold out and new blocks going on sale. Warrington have sold loads apparently and have even sold those that were redirected from other clubs' allocations. Sunday is not selling so well but maybe people are making a late decision on whether to go up for the day. Overall it looks very positive. Let's just hope the sun shines on us.

Scubby Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Didn't know it was that bad lads. Sorry! It is shocking - sorry. It's like Yorkshire news from Soccer AM for those that remember. Leeds FM or wherever it is now is probably the best place for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mumby Magic Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Could The Thunder capitalise on the Toon Army's current demise? Like poor jokes? Thejoketeller@mullymessiah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Could The Thunder capitalise on the Toon Army's current demise? Short answer no. It wouldn't surprise me to see Newcastle Utd getting the same crowds if not bigger in the championship. The thunder just need to carve out their own niche following in the north east.

Futtocks Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Short answer no. It wouldn't surprise me to see Newcastle Utd getting the same crowds if not bigger in the championship. The thunder just need to carve out their own niche following in the north east. And it wouldn't really help the club make new friends if they tried to capitalise on the Football side's misfortunes.

jannerboyuk Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hardly likely, United have averaged 50k in the championship before now.
