[QUOTE="ncurd, post: 823171, member: 72205"] Guys look at NFL in England which possibly the most sports mad nation on this planet it's spent a collosall amount of effort penetrating the market. There are tons of casual fans like myself. However despite all that and now playing 3 games a season here it a curiosity I know a whole bunch of people who went to the Bengals games. Only one was really a fan of American Football the rest went because they wanted to experience a match to see what it was like. That's after nearly 10 years and whilst participation is up amongst adults that want to try it out its still a long haul and possibly in another 10 we'll be able to support a franchise. Nothing I've seen suggest the great golden goose of America is in better shape about rugby. Targets have to be incredibly in the long term and it won't magically change happen. [/QUOTE]
