Each one of us who bought a ticket and went to the games should give themselves a huge pat on the back and a round of applause we all made this the best attended World Cup ever with a world record set in the final and stadium records broken at some of the grounds.

One swallow and all that...

Boooooo

Gutterfax, I actually agree with some of the things you say and accept when you compare to other sports under criticism from others but you have to accept this one.
The WC attendances have been great and the 4 game attendances referenced have been outstanding.

Moan at the other stuff if you like but credit where it is due.

74k for an international game in this country, a world record, not even involving england??

That's pretty damn impressive.

2012 = 2 games 70k+ in the uk
2013 = 4 games 70k+ in the UK
2014 = 2 games 70k+ in the UK

RLWC attendances have been fantastic but as it stands we may not see top class internationals in the uk for a few years now.......

I agree with this. At the end of the World Cup it is very likely I will stop visiting RLFANS.com. I do not live in the heartlands and my work colleagues are not RL fans (although nicely a few of them are becoming aware of the tournament about to start) so I use these boards to discuss the sport I am passionate about with like-minded people

Of course, I don’t expect everybody to have the same opinions and the point of a discussion forum is to discuss and debate but the deliberate efforts to take every thread off track becomes tiresome after a while. Yes, we can individually ignore certain people but each and every decent discussion is derailed and becomes useless to the point that it isn’t worth bothering anymore

After a great couple of months of wonderful entertainment, the World Cup has come and gone. With the exit of the World Cup, we now have a return of the usual suspects trying (successfully) to stop people enjoying discussions about their favourite sport

At this point, I will say my farewells and wish you all well

So basically you want happy threads with happy topics and joyful predictions for the game and no mention of the troubles at some of the clubs including Iconic Bradford and the flag bearing London Broncos? Be careful the door doesn't hit you on the booty on the way out

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Fri Dec 06, 2013 7:18 pm  

How don't a couple of posters get it that others can accept the game has issues and challenges,even weaknesses, the problem is people get bored of you steering every thread in that direction! If you went through everyday life banging on about the negative all the time people would eventually tell you to p/ ss off!...I don't know, they probably do.

Apathy is working wonders for the game...........we should have more sheep on here so as not to upset the happy vibe? Bollox.......the forum is for debate and until the game starts to punch its weight I'll be here to debate.......attempts to get posters banned are akin to the work of the Vichy regime often mentioned here in respect of how poop France are........
