The Rocket Posted August 24, 2022 Share Posted August 24, 2022 16 hours ago, Man of Kent said: The opener of the wheelchair tournament at the Copper Box in London is also on track to be sold out, and England women's opener against Brazil at Headingley will be the biggest-attended standalone women's rugby league game in the northern hemisphere.' It's all about selling out the opening England men, women and wheelchair games to generate momentum, it seems. I haven`t seen any wheel-chair League but by all reports it`s a very entertaining affair. I`m hoping if they get a fair bit of media for the first game and it doesn`t disappoint, the media coverage it receives could be a real driver for the rest of that part of our tournament. The feel-good factor surrounding that would reflect very positively on the League and could really give a positive boost to the rest of the tournament, not to mention Rugby League`s image.

There couldn’t be better advertisement/first impression opportunity for the wheelchair game than a winning England team playing at a full Copper Box in London live on national TV. Let’s hope it cuts through, it deserves to. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is great. I'll admit I was sceptical before I saw it as I just couldn't see how RL could work in that format but if absolutely does. It is really watchable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's RL on wheels. Very, unmistakably, RL. Much more "rugby" than "Wheelchair Rugby" which is a load of cack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has defo been an uplift in activity over the last couple of weeks. Also, I mentioned recently that there was a fair bit of promo in Wire, whether that was RLWC budget or from Warrington's commitment, I'm not sure. All good stuff tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the toughness of the other kind of RL but with the extra risk of getting your fingers nipped between some cold steel. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Archie Gordon Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Got a reply back from RLWC about whether they'll be selling seats rather than (seats in) a block. I was told only blocks were available but I could make a particular request if I wanted and they'd see what they could do. Right now, I'm not keen. It's really disappointing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man of Kent Posted August 27, 2022 Share Posted August 27, 2022 The ad was aired a few times on Sky Sports last night, which obviously makes sense as not everyone who watches RL on TV is an anorak like me who bought tickets two years ago. Or Northern, for that matter. Has anyone seen it on terrestrial too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
