Just slightly off-topic, but i caught the highlights of NZ V.S Aus cricket match in the ICC trophy and noticed there were a lot of empty seats. Wonder if anyone is concerned about the health of cricket
If the RL world cup has even one game that has some empty seats, i'm sure these message boards will be full of some "fans" gleefully telling everyone international RL is pointless, no one is interested and it is dead.
1. Cricket is as loved up as League is....many people are concerned about its current state.
2. A pair of teams playing 12,000 miles away from home on a Wednesday is hardly the same as fears of 50,000 empty seats at an England HOME game on a Saturday.
Nobody "wants" the RLWC to fail......but anyone who dares question the activities and marketing thus far is seemingly a gleeful naysayer in waiting
500,000+ tickets on sale......if they'd sold half of them we'd have been told......if they'd sold 200,000 of them we'd have been told........all we have been told is that they shifted a few corporate and group sales, half sold out the final and 1,500 family tickets on a cash back scheme were sold to London and St Albans yoof RL.........
I am aware that some posters on here say they are "waiting to see what their mates are doing"......I'd suggest that in reality, they are waiting for the "offers" to start...like the recent Ireland + Exiles offer.
