[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 916658, member: 56232"] Some clubs are trying to run like businesses whilst ignoring large chunks of what makes businesses successful. Increasing the cost of tickets does not always translate into increased revenue if it drives people away from the sport. Especially clubs with funding elsewhere should look at taking a short term hit with a long term aim of attracting more people to the sport. Maybe look at what Bristol has done as a club that size that has just come form the 2nd tier of rugby shouldn't have got the numbers they got. If sharing a stadium with a football team is the way forwards then maybe that it what more clubs should look to do. I know Sarries used to share Vicarage Road with Watford (and would have been my local team if I was into rugby when I lived in Watford). The move to their own stadium hasn't really added anything.
