Only so many ticket which were a tenner. Still double the price of the union.

Still seen no proof that all 83,000 paid a fiver or less..........17,000 fans more than all 7 ESL games achieved....

Sure was saw a tweet. "At wembley for the rugby no idea whats going on."

Says it all.

WoW.....a tweet. Must surely mean that all 83,000 had stumbled in by accident......and cetainly shoots holes in the BBC 's claim that they averaged 4,500,000 viewers for each of the 6 nations games....all those people tuned in by accident did they.

The day the RFL attract 83,000 fans for anything is the day your inane attempts at point scoring will carry any weight

BOT.

Will be interested to see the next gate for a sarries home match....

The £5 tickets were for a limited time. The cheapest tickets after that were £15.

Re: If you must discuss Union, do it here II : Tue Apr 03, 2012 5:20 pm  

Tickets £10 for SAracens European game.

Shark J, how do you think Kennedy's potential purchase of Rangers soccer club would affect Sale Sharks?



England centre Riki Flutey will quit Wasps at the end of the season to return to his native New Zealand.

Gotta lol at RL fans trying to shoot holes in a massive Union crowd BOT .....March 31st deadline passed, but maybe they'd already told the RFU and just haven't gone public with the worst kept secret in Rugby.

Not sure who this will prove worse for. Will Salford have their own stadium taken from under them?

Or will Sale be destroyed as Diamond and chums try to ruin the history of the club, and spit on the town's RU heritage, by rebranding them?

The only thing that keeps Sale's identity as anything other than just a suburb of Manchester is its RU team. Might the only winners here prove to be the original Sale FC?

Salford have a lease at the stadium, unless someone buys that out from under them they're going nowhere.

Steve Diamond doesn't need any help to ruin the image of Sale Sharks, he's doing pretty well on his own.

He certainly is. They've signed a 25-year lease apparently. Cardiff Blues coach Gareth Baber defends decision to allow Gavin Henson to go out drinking. ARU cuts back on its Wallaby contracts. Brive union drugs cheat. If what I've been told today is true; Gethin Jenkins, Casey Laulala, Dan Parks, Richie Rees, Martyn Williams, John Yapp, Rhys Thomas, Maama Molitika and Deiniol Jones are all on their way out of Cardiff. Add to that list the news that Ben Blair is in advanced talks with a French club (Agen?) while there are on-going doubts over the futures of Alex Cuthbert, Tom James, Tao Filise, Paul Tito and Ryan Tyrrel. At this rate, the Cardiff Blues will be playing an under 21's side next season. The club is in dire financial trouble and despite the recent six nations success, the future of Welsh rugby union is looking decidedly shaky again. That call to reassess the Welsh regions and possibly even the Celtic League looks more and more sensible by the week.
