Boroughs are haphazardly designed - sometimes due to tradition, sometimes due to politics, and so on...

Most appropriate approach would probably be to do something like quantify the population within a 30-minute drive time of the ground. But I think that is called 'geodesic analysis' and it's done a lot nowadays in marketing (for example, when a store like TK Maxx is trying to find the ideal location for a new store and develop a marketing approach) and you would need someone able to access the data sets and analyse them properly - usually someone with a Masters in Maths or Marketing.

I remember meeting up outside a pub on Dewsbury road near Westgate end and walked to Dewsbury's ground in the 70s we lost it 1-0, of all the games to remember losing to drop goal

the walk home was one of the longest ever

I'd be more impressed if you'd have walked to Huddersfield and back

If you think that that generates £2.8M for the clubs you really have lost the plot!


What about 24,000 sell outs for each of the two league matches and the play off, combined att 72k, compared to 4 games combined 74k, which do you think nets the clubs most money?
You can't even admit that there's a significant drop off in attendances due to the repeated fixtures despite you actually putting up the evidence for that

Which do you think gave SKY the bigger audience Bulls.v.Leeds yet again or Halifax.v.London or Sheffield.v.Salford for the first time??

You only focussed on only half the story

People cannot forget SKY, no SKY = no Rugby league......

I wonder if SKY at that time were saying we don't want Leeds and Bulls again??

London are heading towards the trap door.....I suspect they will be in administration before Xmas.
