I am not a Stephen Jones fan, but I am sad to say that a lot of this quote is true. The promotion and advertising is laughable and as a sport we don't seem to have a clue about how to sell an occasion to people who are not already big fans of the clubs. I also don't have any idea as to whether or not the RFL as a coherent marketing strategy at all, but my guess would be that they don't. They are probably relying on the clubs and the clubs are probably relying on the RFL. Neither of them taking a major initiative.

Your always going to struggle getting families to attend MM , keeping kids interested for 7 games is a hell of an ask

looking at the empty stands last weekend it's not just the kids who have a problem with 7 games

It all depends on how you view it , did the vast majority of fans who normally travel to an away game go to MM ? , probably , so how do you change the mindset of those fans who will happily watch on TV rather than spend hundreds of pounds travelling to watch their team ?

It's easy for me as I wouldn't go anyway unless my club was playing , would I stay and watch half a dozen other Champiobship matches ? , one maybe , but any more than that ? No

You not being a millionaire ??? Give me a clue and most of the other people on here who seemed to agree with my point of view what that has to do with anything.
The richest people in the country living in harmony with the most homeless. Again as before that occurs in every city.London probably has the most because ............er let me think now..........oh yes its the biggest city in the country. Odd that. Though being Northern I am sure you don't mind millionaires row in Cheshire being just a few miles from the deprived areas around it. I state that simply as an example. Even Hull has millionaires living in "harmony" with the poor and deprived....I could go on.
As for the racist bit. I said it could almost be. No they are not a race. Neither is the whole population of London a Cockney. Note the lack of emphasis on certain parts of the name. I am not entirely sure what anyone would call your thinking. Its not racist as they are not a race. Its not sexist as it covers I assume both sexes. But it is some kind of "ist". I might add mind after 20 years of living and working in London I have met very few people who class themselves as Cockneys.

Finally once again you bring in sweeping judgements. "every thing about the place is wrong" I would say everything about you is pathetic but I am sure that someone loves you, someone finds you of use to the human race, which probably makes you worthy to some. But I know I feel so much better for not being a small minded little egit like you.

I'm afraid to tell you it was more just general disinterest in your post than me actually taking the time to think up a reply.


Was there actually a 'strong' point anywhere in your post?


Must have missed that one.
