B0NES:
On the flipside of the doom and gloom stories , Great to see over 60k tickets sold for the Ashes , Headingley sold out , Evertons new ground not far off either .
I've read that Simon Moran at Warrington who has loads of experience promoting Take That, Oasis and others was involved in getting the Aussies to commit and so far the promo has been a lot better. Doing a 'pre sale' might be a nonsense but it's what all the big music acts do. The game needs to be using knowledge and experience like that when it can.
Also why haven't Australia played England for 7 years?? It's the best box office draw we have
