Perhaps worth being on here and other threads, over 8k in for the Womens Cup Final at Wembley, and an average viewership around 250k too. https://www.loverugbyleague.com/post/challenge-cup-final-viewing-figures-revealed-as-hull-kr-v-warrington-wolves-thriller-wins-big-for-bbc

Easily. And with that the whole conversation around the Giants would change.
-
Its definitely the sort of atmosphere the club should aspire to and what other clubs use to their benefit every week.

England v Australia 2025 - coming to the UK!

Dynamic pricing strikes again! -
Its actually the Juventus Model
-
Absolutely, get them a ground like York has and it would be ideal. Imagine if they had been in that a decade or so ago in the league leaders shield winning times.
-
Indeed, I thought that was remarkably good for Huddersfield this year. Hopefully it had some energy around it despite the result and can really get the aspirations for a more appropriately sized ground in Huddersfield realised!
-
I'm pretty confident now that we are in the top 4 sides in the League; but for slim losses to KR at home, and Saints and Warrington away we'd be even more convincing in that position. We're really growing well and as you say a settled (and fully fit) spine is helping massively. If we can take at least 6 of 8 points out of our next 4 fixtures too I genuinely think its game on come October.

Salford financial issues(again…)

I don't I'm asking you as I understand you know more? If it is just semantics then what is the point of a CBS! -

Thats fine, but in this case they weren't doing that they were joining a community benefit society. Is that not a different arrangement? -

There's lots out there on google. Key to this for me is that fan/members were actually part of a community benefit society not a "traditional" small shareholding arrangement? Surely that changes things. -

Championship and League 1 they have had in before so would expect again. I don't think they've ever had French domestic teams in, and would have thought they would have made more of a shout about it if they were included. Sadly. -

Yeah hadn't noticed that. I expect most NRL teams to be in the 80s with Origin and Kangaroos closer to 90s. I wonder if any rogue fully licensed international sides will be in this one too. I remember the Czechs and Canadians were in the last game on launch but the likes of France and Wales weren't! -
It quite literally is the definition of parochialism.
-
Whilst it would be disruptive it also offers the most potential reward too. I agree there are easier ways to simply up the capacity though
-
The same is seen in smaller scale on the Huddersfield Giants thread now regarding their new stadium site - "what's the benefit for the other towns in Kirklees?" None of the Wakefield clubs got any serious council backing till all 3 of them could at the same time. Its a problem endemic in (West) Yorkshire.
-
15k I think would be absolutely fine for now. The obvious solutions are to make the temporary bit of the East Permanent but also from a commercial POV, rebuilding the West must be a priority I'd have thought in terms of value per ticket in that stand.
-
I think that is fine yes, but they are pushing that weekly now and surely the main stand with the corporate stuff in is due a bit of investment?
-
Got to justify an extension/redevelopment of Craven Park at this time now surely!

Indeed, and then they can just cut and paste a lot from year to year and still generate millions more. Quietly excited for this, got the past 3 games including the WC edition! -
I don't think its mini Londoners, its like Borat and his neighbour. Leeds gets this (but Bradford needs some benefit from it). Lets put this in Bradford to try regenerate it. Isn't Bradford great. I've worked in pan-West Yorkshire organisations and they're all weirdly the same in this regard.
