For sure! Wonder why the North Koreans don't go back to revisit their 1966 exploits in Liverpool. Must be a reason.

apart from the hardcore rugby fans, I doubt many this win registered with many Japanese people.

Well said that man.
There is likely to be a positive impact on non-match day hospitality. Football fans and local business folk are on the whole going to be aware of the facilities on offer. How many people who have travelled from slightly further afield will be looking afresh at hosting events at a rugby world cup venue ?

Not seen such Bravery!
This is a great point.
Large Japanese companies in particular could be queueing up to host events at the Amex.
Well, it is the Brighton 'Community' Stadium and I take that to mean that it should benefit all members of the community and not just Albion fans.
This means we have to see our city jewel as not just revolving around what local football fans want. Refreshing.
There are several NSC members who live in Japan. It would be interesting to hear their views on this.

Maybe not. On the other hand with all the publicity and good will that emanated from that performance it could be a catalyst for bigger participation and interest.
A few years ago Dutch television were due to show a football match live. The game was cancelled at the last minute because of bad weather. So, as an emergency filler, they screened the World Darts Championship from Lakeside in dear, old Blighty. Holland was hooked, transfixed and everything else and took the game to their hearts.
Anything is possible.

I'm fairly certain that over and above the rental agreement with the RFU that host stadia were on a cut of the concessions takings too.
There was an article in the Telegraph ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/ru...it-by-hidden-price-increases-at-stadiums.html) urging them to not raise prices of drinks and food too much just to cash in with this report claiming that takings could be in the region of £250k per match.
30,000 pints at £5 a pop equates to £150k per game and I'm sure that the average consumption per head will be something like 2 or 3 each.
The article mentioned an average spend per visitor of £9 which would equate to what my partner and I spent between us so who knows.

It doesn't mean it has to be available for free.
Lots of things appear to be available for free. NSC for example.

I think you're probably correct although the "landlord" is the Community Stadium Ltd not BHA Holdings Ltd.
In 2013/14 CSL posted a loss of £2.09 million largely down to £3 million+ charge for annual depreciation on the stadium etc; the company's income comprised £1 million in rent from the football club (BHAFC Ltd) and a £40,000 grant towards the build itself. This grant comprises a total of £2 million but is treated as deferred income over the period of useful life of the stadium (50 years).
In the football club accounts for the same period there is a line for "Other Income" amounting to £113k; I guess that's where any stadium/facility hire fees (eg for the Rod Stewart concert) are recorded.

Oh I don't doubt that, at least whilst they are doing well anyway.
Is that true about the Dutch and darts? Always wondered why it was popular there.
Not to mention Albion Sports and Leisure Ltd, not sure where they fit in?
