fighting irish Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 If inviting all the rugby union fans in Newcastle to our league game isn't marketing I don't know what is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it’s wiser to have RL on first as the audience will be at it’s biggest as the game finishes. It is curtain raiser since the falcons fans don't need to pay for the league game to watch.

fighting irish Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 One day a drummer decided he was going to become a proper musician. So he went to the music shop to buy an instrument or two. The shopkeeper told him to look around and when he'd made up his mind to come and seek him out. After about 10 minutes the drummer says ''I'll take the red trumpet and the gold accordion''. The shopkeeper looks behind him and says, ''you can have the fire extinguisher, but the radiator's got to stay''. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev p Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I watch union & league & enjoy both, it’s not a crime! Anything that gets more bums on seats for either is a step in right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copa Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 When I was last in Newcastle i could never have imagined a local RL club being on the same stage as the Falcons. Well done to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Streets tache Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 21 hours ago, Themusician_2 said: That reaching out to football fans in a football city is better than reaching out to the union toffs who are a minority? And how do you pitch that to Mike Ashley? Here mate, before the billion pound spinning premier league game, let 26 part time Rugby League players churn up your pitch? Why on earth would Newcastle United go for that? Newcastle Thunder couldn't afford Jamal Lascelles bootlaces! Why not email the NFL and ask if Keighley Cougars V Rochdale Hornets can be the curtainraiser at the next Superbowl. Demand the BBC get Barrie and Terry replace Gary Lineker on Match of The Day.

Coincidently as Tim Streets tache replies to him, I know Timmy Street used to play for Oldham RU. He doesn’t get called a toff very often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bedfordshire Bronco Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 On 24/09/2019 at 14:57, Themusician_2 said: There may be more union fans in Newcastle but they are way more football fans. A curtain raiser to a football game is better. But curtain raising for the inferior code kinda bothers me. Im guessing it's cause they under the same ownership and they are trying to create false unity between the two codes. I think it's more than that. The owners see a market in league and have plenty of resources. They've also seen the outlay is less than for the kick and clap..... I'm excited for one. Get your point about it'd be better to be a curtain raiser for the soccer but can't see that happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
