Quote ="mickyb1234"Tims got an e mail today so that's more than nothing! What got the crowd at skolars? Marketing? They didn't try and tempt me to come! Did skolars get 1500 because it was going to be a sporting spectacle of two teams competing for honours? Or did 1500 people turn up because it was a first? Thoughts?
It had a USP of being an historic fixture that's it. That game promoted itself!
Any newcomers to rugby league who went to that game, how many do you think would be likely to come back? Let's be serious it was not a great game of rugby league, not really a classic to grab the enthusiasm of a new supporter.
What's the USP of our game? You can only have one FIRST competitive pro game.
As for my bizarre preference, you obviously choose not to read my post, all I ask is who do you promote the game too? What's the point in sending marketing to me, I am coming anyhow, I would suggest you are the same.'"
I would definitely not just have come anyway, I hardly get to games these days but was going to come and bring some others as it's Toronto and should be a close game. BUT I'm seriously thinking of not coming now as there'll be no buzz around the game as i was expecting, if the Broncos don't try to sell it. If a new Canadian club with a real buzz around it and some good quality players isnt worth a go at selling to people what is? Lots of neutral RL fans would be tempted and there are thousands and thousands in the SE. The sort that go in their droves to CC finals and England internationals but not regular club games. Sell it FFS!
