Just another scheduling/marketing feck-up by the RFL. It's not as if the union boys have kept things quiet for the last couple of years.
(although my ticket's yet to arrive - got the one for the last game at ours the other week)
Over 30k sold for the Olympic which is pretty good going with a couple of weeks to go, but surely they should be pushing the marketing and advertising to get it as full as possible. KC and DW
should be sell outs but it wouldn't hurt to market it. I literally haven't seen one poster, TV advert etc.
People moan about some fans' apathy towards international RL, but it's difficult to criticise people when the governing body doesn't do any marketing, plus the broadcasters aren't bothered about it. I know it's only a friendly but it's pretty shocking that the France game isn't on TV. I think Sky have the rights but they've pretty much ignored internationals since the WC.
