Aussie press now saying 35k tickets sold.
Do they use the same model of the RFL?
30,000 expected at game 23,000 attendance. Or announce a stand sold out only to have it a quarter empty on game day

I'm sure many have not heard of this brand but it's definitely a step up from Kingstone Press et al
Are they gonna pay SL in beers

I'm not sure about that. In the quarter of a century since his retirement and the disappearance of our sport behind a paywall (like many sports), I think we forget how big a name Hanley was in the sporting landscape when we were a terrestrial sport.
If anything, I think we underestimate his profile.
Similar to boxing. You'd have old granny's watching Eubank, Benn, Bruno. They would be on every prime time tv show. Most of the population today would struggle to name a boxer today.

As said before Darts was always massive with household names. Me Nan used to go to Lakeside every year in the 1980's and 1990's.
All Sky and Hearn have done is turned it into an awful stag party, pantomime. I love darts but you wouldn't see me going to watch it live.

The quality and fit of them however is rubbish
Was gonna say have they improved? Got one a few years back and the fit was awful. Never seen a shirt like it.

There is a different perspective from us Leigh fans. Last year was only our 3rd appearance at Magic Weekend, and our 1st victory, so obviously we can’t wait for this year’s event.
As for Elland Road, its capacity is just under 38,000 and going off previous attendances at MW, it should be almost full for both days, which should ensure a cracking atmosphere. As for dislike of loop fixtures, Derek tried to achieve a 14 team Superleague when we were in the Championship, but through self interest he was double crossed. Superleague teams will never vote for 1/14 of the pie rather than 1/12.
This is a fallacy that is used on here alot. Smaller venues don't carry the same crowd making it a better atmosphere. Most always smaller venues just bring smaller crowds.

My mates son who is a AFL fan from Perth was watching it but asked why is Rugby League not popular ?
Nearly 60k for our secondary cup final is something most sports could only dream of.

For all most people know, Tonga could be as prestigious as the Kangaroos. But presenting it in a half assed way and mumbling about it instead of shouting about it from the rooftops will result in the usual half assed attendances we always get.
(With a pre tournament warning about the games being close to selling out of course)
Well at least they are not trying to flog £95 seats this time.
From £95 to £50 for all 3 games rugby league is funny.

Yeah I'd agree with that. There's no consistency. Where is the family end, where is the slightly boozy but more vocal bit etc.?
As you say there's no consistency to build a fan culture up - and I don't think we are big enough to just ignore this either, we need to be actively encouraging this sort of activity to increase the "event feel". They tried initiatives like the "wall of white" and the England Memberships, but they had nothing to sell and seemed to have fallen on their face.
Cricket does this quite well. The Barmy Army is actually well organised and serves as a core for a wider type of supporter at each day of a test match. They also have their own social media etc that supports the England Cricket stuff.
The ashes crowd was like a darts crowd this year, awful.

Only disappointment is, there should have been at least on marquee stadium used. Two of Headingley, Hudds and Saints is fine. But should have had one in a large London stadium.
-
Great news some of us on here have been screaming for test series vs Tonga/Samoa for years.
Will we sell these tickets proactively, or just hope people buy them on the day like the WC

To be properly historic, we could carry exhibits up and down the M62 in an Eddie Stobart container.
You can pay for entry with Papa Johns pizza

And there you have it. Kirklees Council are no wealthier than any other in the deprived and under-resourced North. The local populance are relatively uninterested in RL. Any move to fund the running costs of the museum in the medium term from local taxpayers money will be suicide for a local politician anywhere.
I love RL, but this museum has such a limited future in Kirklees (and maybe anywhere) that a serious rethink is required.
My under resourced council (wakey) raises its council tax by the maximum 5% every single year.
Probably to pay another diversity coach 150k a year.

I feared the worst watching him at Leeds. Just didn’t seem to run right.
Hopefully he will come good but he’s got his work cut out.
He will be back in SL sometime next season IMO he is a shadow of his former self after his injury. Would go OK in a Salford or Wakefield type club.

I'm a bit worried about the interview with Farnworth though… when he talks about Darius Boyd he says "I look up to Boydy heaps"
Surely anybody who uses the word 'heaps' is destined to play for Australia!
Watch out if he starts saying Dayboo.

To be fair other than the top 5/6 EPL clubs the majority of football sponsorship is betting companies
