[QUOTE="Peat, post: 761993, member: 42330"] So people say. Me, I wonder whether this is true. There's plenty of rugby fans in London who have no time for Quins or Sarries. Imagine there's plenty of rugby fans in the north who've no time for Newcastle or Sale. Wish I could find out how many people turned up watch North or East Midlands against the touring sides compared to how many watched the clubs do it. Certainly, the idea that the current club fans are the be all and end all of those interested in watching rugby is erroneous. There's guys running rugby who reckon there's more people who'd watch Wasps than Coventry and more people who'd watch Yorkshire than Leeds. Those are steps towards what Super Rugby would entail. Will be interesting to see where they go. In any case, desirability and feasibility are two different things. Whether the fans would go is feasibility. Should we try to get them to go? That's the real question. [/QUOTE]
