Perhaps they should have a Championship match on a Thursday and/or even a Championship roundup show.

Can anyone tell me why anyone should turn up and pay to see a RL game at all, especially if they have never been before?

Probably because they wouldn't be allowed in if they didn't.

I'd have no issue with a Championship game, but would it suit championship fans any better than SL fans?

While Thursdays might be a bad night for fans, with the right amount of notice they're a godsend for a club's commercial marketing department compared to Sundays.

I bet clubs with a focus on getting corporate customers through the door sell more packages for Thursday nights than they do for games on a Saturday or Sunday.

No real changes in attendances today a few 10's up and down in both matches.

So no viable difference to the equivalent games from last year.

I went to my first game because I was hassled by a workmate. In 2002 I paid £14 and saw London Broncos get Knocked out of the cup at Home to Castleford and I was hooked!
I believe that Heinz were "sold" a stand at Wigan a few years back for the visit of Harlequins RL and all their staff were given seats. Not long after, Heinz came on board as a SL partner......not sure if the two events are related, but it would be fair to say they probably are.
People and companies/sponsors will attend a new sport if they are invited to.
