We have far bigger competition right on our doorstep. It started as 1 game and increasing to a point a team will be relocated to our shores. The game is closest matched to RL and we are competing and loosing in an expansion race Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev p Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Can’t see where nfl is similar to rl. Rl is continuous, nfl is stop start (more stop than start). Only similarity are the goal posts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denton Rovers RLFC Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 4 minutes ago, JonM said: That link repeatedly says the IPL teams make huge profits and links to other stories discussing the size of IPL profits. The cheapest ticket to watch IPL in Bangalore this year was £22. the cheapest tickets were just under £4 in the IPL and the majority (6 out of 8 teams) were up tot £9 as the lowest price tickets,, Bangalore cheapest was £20 not £22. Either way when you're paying players huge sums of money, plus the huge overheads/salaries of backroom staff and costs when buying players in the pre season auction by team owners etc, then there's not necessarily going to be any profit for the actual teams/league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only similarity are the goal posts! Erm well limited tackles followed by a punt. Returns from punts not like they where PTB after each tackle Repeat set if they get far enough (4020 or the new 2040 or drop out) Very structured game with set plays Emphasis on line speed and defence High skill level required Pivot players But to the amateur eye it does look different from first glance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 You can’t compare ticket prices of the IPL and Super League when one of those is taking place in an area of such poverty and destitution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, for a fan of a small club who have played semi-pro RL for at least 22 of the last 24 years, an argument on quality is a losing one. I suppose with the quality Leeds have served up recently , it's understandable you would prefer rounders Go on I'll let you have the last one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT IS NET OF INCOME TAX if you'd bother to look at the actual data correctly! And as I said, you don't know who is going to the games, there are over 11 million people in Bangalore alone, so this increases the number of higher earners to more than that in the North of England alone. Significantly upper middle/lower upper and upper class salaries can go up to 7,000,000 rupees, that's £81k/year! You;re also failing to take into account cost of living. If your rent is £200/month (1 bed apartment in Bangalore city) and food costs less then disposable income is a lot more. If £4 a ticket in some areas isn't cheap then I don't know what is (this would make it equivalent to £42k a year UK for a £24 ticket in the UK for RL) so the point still stands, it doesn't guarantee full stadiums nor profits whichever you want to paint it.
