EFS finds a new campaign

I very much doubt that you and me are an audience he cares about.

Thats true

it's local economy that benefits though. The host Union gets a lot fo money from tickets but the money brought in on the trousit routes is almost invaluable to the local businesses.

But would it be a lot of money? Given the depressed local economy and the small stadium, I was assuming that it would be hard to make any vaguely significant sum of money. Maybe a Samoan poster can tell us what price tickets for big matches are.

Your point about the local economy is a fair one, although I wasn't aware that this was one of the reasons the more home games were being pushed for.

Which audience does he care about then?

Which audience are the Lions going to be pressured by?

I don't think they are too bothered about local fans, I think the point is more about selling the tourist packages, selling the tickets to "rich" Europeans and boosting the local economy and putting a bit of regular income into the PI unions pocket.

Was trying to blame the RFU for the fact that today's Samoa/Barbarians game wasn't broadcast in Samoa, but the England/France game was...

He quite often has a point, but isn't going to win many people over with his over the top rants. You would expect someone with a law degree to be able to argue much more persuasively.

Yeah and charge for it....
