Unions Loss - Leagues Gain

[the pieman]

Have just read my Sunday paper and have read an article about loss of revenue at Twickers

They have lost around 25% revenue due to poor performances at National level and also due to the poor Lions showing in NZ

Does anyone know if the RL are doing anything to capitalise on the apparent lack of interest in Union at the moment

Dont suppose last nights lottery numbers are in there i need a holiday.(sorry i guess you meant last sun but its a bit slow tonight).I am guessing the loss is vs last year and with this years performances being so poor im not surprised.
What gains we are making i would be interested to find out because am not seeing much.

i can, i recieved a brochure the other day with ordering forms for the grand final, CC final, all tri-nations games. it was very interesting and very good marketing (but that only depends on who recieved them)

Anyone that has booked tickets for internation RL games before or those with season tickets that didn't mind having their details put about the RL people.

Some kind of advertising based on the fact the Kiwis whooped the Rah-Rahs in Yawnion and the Aussies are going to do the same to our cricketers this summer - the Tri Nations is the chance to get revenge against both countries at the same time!

Just as long as they don't involve Alistair Campbell in the PR campaign...

Could backfire though eh if we see a repeat of the Tri-Nations final of 2004!

But if we were honest about these things, then just about every international sporting event in the UK would have to be advertised as "come and watch England / GB / whatever get annihiliated again"!
