[QUOTE="TRF_Olyy, post: 1086436, member: 34990"] In a word: No We took a game on the road before - had an attendance boost for the game itself (helped by discounted tickets and lots of freebies for local minis clubs) and it had zero impact on regular attendance afterwards With that said: I like the idea for a novelty - gets some media attention, gets some non-fans through the gates, maybe there's a slight interest boost in the area I don't think it'd work as a legit long term crowd boosting strategy but if they treated it more like a rugby roadshow, make the games events rather than just a game in a different place, like a whole day out Something like Exeter vs Quins at Brighton, Sale vs Newcastle at Headingley or Tigers vs Wasps at Villa Park (or considering Tigers links to Norfolk have them vs a London side at Norwich's ground) [/QUOTE]
