Well done for helping spread the word.
As has been touched on elsewhere on here, there is a big difference between a sport 'event' and a run of the mill fixture. Union used to stage the 'London Double Header' (always a bit of a joke considering that Harlequins were the only team playing in London for many years), which used to fill Twickenham every year. Having been a few times I can hand on heart say that I never met a single person who was a season ticket holder, or regular attendee of ordinary club fixtures. They were happy to go to the big event but not interested in regular attendance.
