Quote ="Iain"I don't disagree with the sentiment that RL seems to be going down the route of pricing people out, but in the case of this game it's not just the pricing and peopel wanting to watch rugby league, it's the profile of what has happened in Wakefield.
News and awareness wise there is a big difference between a club, in the space of 10 days being on the brink of going under, losing players, being saved, getting a win, and effectively holding a new-era launch party, and a club just saying "tickets are a tenner for this game". If this was just a promo for a regular Wakefield v Salford game without what had happened at Wakefield, then we would not be talking about a large crowd.
It's been said in the past that Salford could throw the doors open and people wouldn't come - we need to start by get it so people [uwant[/u to watch Salford. Playing reasonably consistenly well is a marketing ploy we've not tried for a few years.'"
Spot on.
I suppose the only thing I can add is that you have to congratulate the the Trinity boards ability to maximise this window of opportunity - not usually a RL strength.
