Oh it will be nice, no doubt.

But shouldn't be budget for.

I have it on very good authority that the WCC is the biggest money spinner of the season for us as we get a much bigger take of receipts than any other competition. Also, our expenses for playing the game are minimal and no revenue is taken by other clubs.

Surely Manly get a share of the gate plus expenses. They wouldn't fly here at their own cost.

On the Saints game I reckon it'll lose Leeds and Saints somewhere in the region of £140,000 each

Say a crowd of £15,000 at an average price of £15.

Add in the corporate side.

Do you think the RL will do it again next season.


Wigan have around 10,000 season ticket holders. Barrow holds 6,500.
THat should be fun allocating the tickets.

yes. I meant sharing wit other clubs in the league.

What are you on about? The money Leeds vs Saints will lose because of the free tickets? If so, how does the corporate side come into it.

Why do you think an all paying crowd for a televised 4th round challenge cup tie will draw 15,000 punters?

Do you think the RL will do it again next season.

I hope so. At last the BBC will be able to show an early round tie at a packed stadium with a good atmosphere and a noisy crowd. It will do the game's image no end of good.
