Oh, they could be doing all sorts of things. They could be using the players to promote it. They could have had events before the season ended to promote it, when people were congregated at the stadium. They could be going round schools, playing Australia verses Fiji games. All sorts really.
Promoting the game was part of the bid put in jointly with the Council. The Council have been just as bad as Saints. Neither has organised anything to promote the game or world cup anywhere in the town. Therefore they are effectively in breach of their bid commitment. Saints will be lucky to get another international, especially if they do sod all at the match (which I am expecting them to do). I doubt there will be a good crowd at LP but you never know. My guess is that Saints assume the fact that we are hosting Australia is enough to pull in the crowds and they can just do nothing.

From what you can see/have heard, are any of the other clubs doing any more than Saints are?
