| Quote FearTheVee="FearTheVee"Country by some margin.
[uThe build up to the Tri-Nations final at Elland Rd in 2004 was perhaps the most excited I've been about any RL game. I genuinely thought there was a chance we could finally nick a trophy, but we ended up getting panned '"
I have never felt so flat as I did sat in Elland Road at half time that day. Like many fans, I went to that game not with hope but with expectation and it was completely blown away
I loved playing RL and thoroughly enjoy watching it at any level but the only time I get genuinely nervous is when the national team is playing. I watched Great Britain play RL for over 20 years and yet I have no problem transitioning my support to England... I am both English and British so I see no problem with either label
It is without any exaggeration to say that the day I see England/GB win an international tournament will be one of the happiest of my life (I can think of only two to beat it so far!!) |

I don't think we leverage the amateur game enough. The RFU have nailed this aspect, with amateur clubs onto a nice little earner for selling international tickets. Good for grass roots, good for the crowd.
However, our own amateur game seems to treat the pro game as the enemy - just another example of the petty parochialism that blights the sport and stops it from moving forward at the pace it deserves to. |

The RFL have started doing something along those lines. Bury Broncos for example are doing a 4 Nations package with rewards for selling tickets. |

I havn't heard us do anything to promote going to the game, you'd think smaller clubs would want to try and sell some tickets if there was money to be made from it? Is there anything in the pipeline from Leigh? |

That's quite a tough sell - perhaps they should have pooled tickets for amateur clubs on a regional basis, then put on a number of coaches centrally dependent on take-up? |

It was the RFL trying to get the amatuer clubs to do their job of ' selling ' Internationsl RL to the fans/amatuer /junior players
