On the topic of attendances? Too bloody right "whatever I say"!
Not counting chickens before the egg's been even laid, but if we can get Trailfinders up to 4k Seated capacity, then anything less than 44,000 over the regular season will be a failure in my eyes. I dislike many things about Toronto, but they are getting 5k bodies through the gates no matter who is paying and if we can't do that then we really are wasting our time as a professional club.
If we make it, then the other 11 clubs are immediately given 750 tickets each and offered a 25% commission on sales, with all tickets unsold to be returned 6 weeks before the scheduled game. If they sell them all, they can request more.
Any returned tickets are then put on general sale if the demand is there, or are given to local schools, bars and sports clubs to distribute, with regular calls to those outlets to gauge uptake.
Do it right and then in 2020 (if we're there), the demand will outstrip the supply.......Beer festivals, bands, Pie'n'Mash canons
, get the cowgirls back...... it may not suit the purists amongs us, but we need fans if we are to survive....except Rupe 1.....nobody needs that
