Quote ="Chorlton RL"There's so much that could be done to generate interest or increase the gate. With Magic weekend, Wales RU match and it Valentines weekend, Cardiff is going to be heaving. Personally, I'd have thought a campaign tying Magic with Valentines Day would be good as a sub-promotion. You've got all the derbies going on, so you've got a Romeo and Juliet, House of Montague and Capulet vibe there. You could have a 'Big screen' outside central station showing a 30 second ad, which has a narrator reading the prologue of the play with dramatic images of two 'star-crossed lovers' falling in love against the wishes of their fans and clips of a derby game. Bit of dramatic orchestral music, that sort of thing.
But, considering the top tier and North Stand won't be open, reducing the capacity to around 25k, I doubt the RFL will be doing anything extravagent.'"
You make some good points. Either way there will b some good banter with the union fans as always!
Not sure how you've worked out 25k capacity though. It's a 74k stadium and most of two tiers are open. There is no way that the top tier and the north stand count for nearly 50k seats.
