Not sure how it all works I'm guessing Channel 5 don't pay for the Gallagher ones they show The exposure for the sport on terrestrial must be a very valuable thing in itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Covid, it hasn't had as many as one. 1 "We'll sell you a seat .... but you'll only need the edge of it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE RED ROOSTER Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 One of the big problems for Older spectators is having to use the NHS app which i think I have figured out - to prove you are vaccinated. It's a lot of hassle just to watch a sporting event. Grear for younglings who have an aptitude for apps but testing for those of us from the LIfe on Mars generation... 1 Quote When the pinch comes the common people will turn out to be more intelligent than the clever ones.

ShropshireBull Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 We got a million for a game when people were finally allowed out and maybe needing a detox after Association football. For a game of club Rugby League, that´s pretty good going and puts the World Cup in good stead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The article says: "One of the major complaints about the later date was the long periods between rounds, meaning excitement waned as the regular season reached the latter stages. It will also mean the event won't take place in the summer holidays when travel and accommodation is more expensive and potential spectators are on holiday.' It may also be that the BBC wants an earlier final (perhaps - and this is my hope - with a view to airing Super League games after the final). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely you just move the rounds along to lessen the gaps? Also looking like it will be the early Bank Holiday weekend - hardly a cheap time for travel & accommodation I wish they'd give us proper reasons, not rubbish like this 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hela Wigmen Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 They couldn’t find a space in the calendar in May at Wembley which is not surprising at all. I want to go to Tottenham anyway, so I’m quite happy about that. The downside is we’re settling on a 68,000 crowd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm quite tempted by a White Hart Lane final but it's fairly obvious that the reason we're there is because they announced a move to May before realising that the FA have block booked the stadium for the whole month. 3 Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

I'll be kind and say that this is part of the agreement on the cancellation of the Ashes and that the RFL have been looking to get a major game there. I suspect Davy just made it public too early. I haven't been as a neutral for a few years, having been lucky to see my own team in the final, but I am very tempted by this and this could be one of those moves that changes some thinking on the Cup Final. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will be interesting to see how it goes, I'm certainly interested whether Wire get there or not, and maybe there will be increased demand without the £3.75 tickets for kids.

Very excited to see how this one goes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 I reckon a lot of neutrals may be tempted to pay a visit to Spurs new ground. I know I had loads of interest for the Ashes test that was meant to take place there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
