World Cup : Tue Oct 18, 2022 11:59 pm  
Not been to any games but have watched them on TV, so far as Broncos interest goes Albert had an awesome game for PNG against top quality opposition (nice of Vossy to give the Broncos a shout out too). Parata, Tuliatu and Siti can also be proud of their performances in their respective matches.

Looking forward to the Wales game, with some of our old boys plus Dalton Grant, against the Cook Islands with Paul Ulberg

Is anyone going to the semi final at Arsenal FC's ground? I might, but I'm hanging fire until train strike announcements have been made for that weekend

I'm going to the SF at Arsenal.

Good couple of games this week, PNG-Tonga, Cook Islands - Wales evenly matched.

Re: World Cup : Thu Oct 27, 2022 8:25 am  
Given some rather poor attendances, you can't say they have really embraced this world cup up North. It's not as though the prices are particularly high (I can pay £100 a pop to sit in Fulham's new stand). Maybe keeping most of it up there wasnt the best of ideas. Not seem much on TV audiences other that 1.8m max for England's 1st game which isn't great.

Sure I read somewhere Dutton was saying there won't be much profit from the event which if true is shocking but perhaps it might get through to some people just where in the pecking order RL is.

Sub 100,000 (97) for the 14 games xcluding England thus far. Makes you wonder where the 60,000 weekly SL/Championship fans have been?
Ticketing has been a problem, as has the overall marketing. You get the impression that once the BBC took the rights, the organizers thought their work was done.
But a world cup averaging 6,600 excluding the hosts isn't good by any comparisons.

So just under 19k at the 32k capacity Bramell Lane. Not a good look on TV. They are I believe someway behind England Women's Euro attendence figures, which probably sums it up.

To be fair, across many sports down here crowds have been decidedly average post covid.
A conversation I had with a contractor about next years women's FIFA WC here was terrifying. The idea of getting 30 or 40,000 fans to a game is a real worry when you see how the Women's Union has gone. Same with the T-20 across the pond....sports will have to work much harder over the next few years. Shows the value in what I've been preaching for 20+ years....attract fans, treat them well and they get in the habit of coming back. Ignore that simple principle and end up with fewer than 300 members and sub 1k gates looking like Warrington reserves
