| Quote Roofaldo="Roofaldo"The RFL should get in contact with all the club's ticket offices and offer cut price tickets to season ticket holders. Or offer a number of free tickets. Who cares if we've papered the crowd if it's a sell out?
The NFL games at Wembley always draw massive crowds and I can't honestly see american football having such a massive following in this country that they're able to sell out Wembley.'"
They get loads of people from mainland Europe coming over to watch it as well. |

| Quote Chorlton RL="Chorlton RL"Wasn't the viewing figures so high because it was on at a fairly sensible viewing time (a friday evening) and because of the novelty that it was on one of the terrestrial channels for the first time? And, that it was on during the winter when nothing else was on?'"
IIRC the NFL International Series game at Wembley last year kicked off at 6pm on a Sunday night in the middle of the football season. It was - as with all regular season NFL games - live on Sky Sports.
The Superbowl kicked off at 11pm on a Sunday night. It was on both Sky and terrestrial TV, as it has been for the last three or four years.
Apart from that, you're bang on. |

and so you should, it always amazes me the inability of RL fans to grasp the limited appetite their is for the game, not just internationally but nationally.
put it another way, if we took the Challenge Cup final to Miami, would we fill the JRS? |

Ok, I see, let's move from reasonable and interesting debate to insults. Nice. |

| Quote Chorlton RL="Chorlton RL"My view is that the RFL should get in touch with all clubs registered with them; SL, Championship, Community, all of them, all over the country. They should explain to them and the fans that fans can buy tickets via tickermaster or whatever, but they are relying on clubs to sell tickets. The deal would be that if a club sells a ticket they get ALL the profit for it. So, assuming the profit is 60% of a ticket and a ticket costs £20, the RFL gets £8 to cover the costs of venue hire etc, and the club gets £12.
The you watch what the attendance would be!
The role of the RFL is to hold events and suport the clubs. What better way to support clubs then to say "You put the work in and you'll reap the rewards". What club would turn down the opportunity to make a nice wedge with minimal effort and what fan would turn down the opportunity to go to Wembley to support England in order to financially support the club?'"
England at Wembely would be great and we could potentially sell it out.
I agree with your general idea, that all clubs (super league, championship, community) should be selling tickets for England games and getting financial rewards for doing so. If they got 20% of the tickets they sold I think this would be enough for clubs to push selling them to their fans at home games ect.
Also this should of been sorted with the venue, date and clubs selling tickets ect before the start of the season. At the moment we dont know if England are playing at Wembely or not  |

I think that is such a brilliant idea for the RFL to give clubs an incentive to sell tons of tickets. Think of what it could do for a 'smaller' club like London Skolars if they could sell say 1000 tickets to the schools around their ground, or even an amateur club like Leigh Miners just to put on a coach full to Wembley could have a huge impact on the club.
It's a great idea, the RFL should be e-mailed. |

Yep, look at the huge success of gridiron in the UK. 2 teams went pro or semi pro (I dont care) both folded. |

I am not talking about people attending a poor relation to the sport, I am talking about the popularity of the NFL, not a UK version.
I'll make a note not to help you on other threads in future, you pathetic little man. |
