Thanks for those pearls of wisdom Megazone.

Any sensible answers?

60,000 punters through the doors, TV revenue, catering, maybe a bit from merchandising too? Should be a tidy profit I'd imagine

My mate spoke to TB on the train back from Wolves.

In fairness you wouldn't expect the chairman to 'show his hand' to Joe Bloggs on a train.

None of these factors count. The organisers pay a flat fee to rent the facility - that is as far as the club's involvement goes.

Interesting. Any idea how much that flat fee would be Bry?..

That's what I assumed the deal was. I hope we made a tidy sum.

Exactly there must be value in it for the club otherwise why allow it?

The added value of prestige would be an incentive. A chance to put the club and city at the forefront of people's minds (and, thanks to Japan, it's fairly well cemented). To be honest, I could understand if the club didn't take a penny in revenue if it means that the likes of the RFU, the FA and maybe others have had a bit of a nudge about how successfully we can manage large games going forward. I could easily see the RFU using us for an U21s or sevens game, maybe even a full international friendly. Over the two have had our pride and joy shown off to the world. One game full of explosives and the other hosted on possibly one of the nicest days we've had for a while.
