And we still have to play those games. That difference will be there wherever we play.

He doesnt need to give a damn about helping us out because money can be exchanged for goods and services.

There is a chance cellino will be gone in the summer but you are right if the money was right he would be interested.

Yes and how much money? You think it's going to come cheap? It's alright for you who isn't responsible for Leeds Rhinos finances.

Are you responsible for Leeds Rhinos finances?

We know the finances make sense. We know we make a lot of money when we sell 30k+ tickets to Elland Road because we have done it.

Leeds struggle to fill the stadium at Huddersfield for a semi final so why anyone would think they could get 30k for a regular league game just because its ER is beyond me

People dont really watch the challenge cup outside the final. We got 8k against Hudds in the cup, a game we got 13k for on a thursday in february in the league.

OK when was the last time Leeds sold out Headingley? Why do you think moving to ER will suddenly add c10k to the crowd?

I dont think moving to elland road will suddenly add 10k. I think we can get crowds of 30-40k if we put the effort in, we can only do that at Elland Road.

What is this magical marketing idea you've got in mind that will double our crowds for a league game (on short notice btw because of not knowing the Super 8 fixtures until after R23)

We don't know the finances make sense because we've never tried taking several league games there and we simply WON'T sell 30k tickets, we probably won't sell 20k, regardless of what your imaginary marketing genius wants to think.

Firstly, Yes i agree the Super 8s nonsense is a terrible idea that limits the ability of clubs to market to fans. It should be scrapped. Im glad you now agree.

Secondly, marketing isnt magic, and we don't need to do anything magic.

We have already sold more than 10k. Third of the way there already.

I find it strange that having argued so vociferously in favour of this new structure, how brilliant and exciting it would be, how every game would matter and fans would be flocking to the game you are now telling us that 20k or 30k attendances for Leeds rhinos is like asking for the moon on a stick.

In fact, the only game that could possibly get those attendances is the WCC, something you said was pointless and should be scrapped and just an excuse for the NRL fanboys to tell us how crap super league is.

Again I didn't say the WCC game should be scrapped, just the extra World Club SERIES games that mean nothing so stop repeating nonsense untrue claims from me trying to point score to distract from the question.....

......what are these marketing plans that will get us 30k crowds for LEAGUE games? If they're that easy then surely you can tell us.
