Bartercard Cup

[EJS]

As for the losing a lot of money argument, actually marketing the bloody thing may have helped a bit in that area. Having to go out of your way to find very, very basic info out to even attend a game won't draw many people in

Tell me about it - it was impossible to find out about the North Harbour - Bulls Game. Did not see one newspaper advert. Even the info on the NZRL site was poor (e.g "Waitemata Park Swanson henderson (now if your not a westie, where the khell is that ?).

The Bartercard is the equivalent of the Air NZ Cup, and I wonder why it wasn't marketed more - I went to the Game yesterday, and it was of good quality with a thrilling finish - far better than most of the pedestrian games in the Air NZ Cup

I don't really understand what the NZRL are doing next year, but I for one will miss the Bartercard (and the commentary on Maori TV, which was great, and hilarious at times (T giving it to Ritchie and Kemp etc).
