The Virtual Terrace • Catalans Challenge Cup
It makes no odds who reaches the final. Other than the Grand Final, this should be the must see event that RL fans attend every year.....the fact that it isn't has nothing to do with Catalans making the final, but a whole lot to do with the RFL milking the cash cow dry and not paying any heed to the aging demographic of their audience, the austerity measures across the UK and not liaising with Railtrack et al in regards of engineering works.
There are 26 teams in the top 2 divisions. 23 of these are UK based. Wembley holds 90,000....so if each of those 23 clubs were to sell 3,913 tickets each, receiving a commission from the RFL i return, I have no doubt that we'd see a return to 80K+ attendances.......no doubt at all!
The Clubs would be incentivised to run coach trips, organise overnight accommodation bought in bulk for a discount....all in return for a cut in the takings. The RFL wouldn't need to print a poster, send an email or do anything (sort of lie they do now!)....and if they started o this campaign straight after the final hooter the year previous, they's have 50k sold by xmas.......
I reckon even the free loaders in Canada would fill a couple of planes full of supporters.....but it would involve some hard work, so no chance
