On the flipside of the doom and gloom stories , Great to see over 60k tickets sold for the Ashes , Headingley sold out , Evertons new ground not far off either .
I've read that Simon Moran at Warrington who has loads of experience promoting Take That, Oasis and others was involved in getting the Aussies to commit and so far the promo has been a lot better. Doing a 'pre sale' might be a nonsense but it's what all the big music acts do. The game needs to be using knowledge and experience like that when it can.
Also why haven't Australia played England for 7 years?? It's the best box office draw we have
For what its worth I used to know Simon Moran quite well and worked with him first hand on many occasions on his way up in the business and whatever his involvement or motives in the new moves I can say two things the bloke has a love of the game and his beloved Warrington that is second to none and secondly he's one of the brightest and cleverest businessmen I ever met. I believe He'l only have the best of intentions.
