I waiting Clive!!!!! More on unionites who came to OZ for the Union WC. You know, despite all the verbal diahorrea in the above posts two things clearly emerge. The ARU probably overstated the effects of the last ruwc & the material immediately above you quoted in this post will never be a problem for rl rus!

Clive Please specify the links I have provided that don't substantiate what I assert. I posted this earlier but for your benefit here it is again. Conclusion SECTION 6
6-1
6 Conclusion
RWC 2003 involved a total of 48 matches, including 40 pool matches and eight finals over a six-week period in October to November 2003 in Australia. Matches were spread across 11 venues in ten cities (Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Gosford, Launceston, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Townsville and Wollongong). The Semi Finals and Final were played in Sydney at Stadium Australia.
The results of this economic impact analysis indicate that RWC 2003 contributed to additional economic activity in the short term throughout the Australian economy in terms of industry sales, employment, GDP and Government revenue. With RWC ticket sales valued at nearly $200 million and with approximately 1.8 million spectators attending matches and people travelling to RWC matches from around Australia and overseas, the impact of the event on the economy was felt across a range of industries particularly trade and hotels, usiness services and recreational services sector.
In terms of longer-term impacts, based on previous studies undertaken on the effects of events in the long-term impact one can expect that Australia’s increased exposure in terms of tourism and business location could lead to further opportunities. However, as noted in this report the value of these additional opportunities was difficult to accurately quantify.
Based on the data collected from various key RWC stakeholders, the key short-term economic impact results indicate that the RWC:
- Generated $494 million in additional industry sales, particularly in the trade and hotels industry, finance and business services and recreational services with NSW, Vic and Qld gaining the majority of RWC industry sales;
- Created an additional 4,476 full and part time jobs with again the trade and hotels industry, finance and business services and recreational services gaining the bulk of these jobs with NSW, Vic and Qld gaining the majority share of these short term full and part time jobs;
- Providing an additional $55 million in Commonwealth government revenue (before commonwealth grants to State governments); and
- Contributing an additional $289 million in GDP to the Australian economy with NSW, Vic and Qld gaining the majority of this additional GDP/GSP.
Longer-term impacts of the event were also examined using previous research undertaken on the effects of previous sporting events, particularly the effects of the 2000 Olympics on the Australian economy. Based on these studies, a “rule of thumb” was established allowing URS to estimate that in 2004 and 2005, additional international visitors as a result of the RWC were expected to be 5,755, spending an additional $27.3 million. www.ausport.gov.au/fulltext/2004/feddep/FinalEconomicImpactOfRWC2003.pdf ;D

Clive are you just plain dumb.
The extract from RUWC government paper you are quoting is an example for the justification of taxpapers' money spent on behalf of & the pronotion of the WC. It is a typical 'glossy' document full of you know what.
The Tourism Australia boss & the Cairns Post article (which have been posted) completely destroy the conclusions in the final report.
Please read them again.

Two reasons: i. The size of rl internationally. ii. The winner would be known before it began. Maybe in 2035 rus.

Basil I think you will find that 90% of the visitors to the union WC were poms & NZers. If GB (or England rather) were seen as being competitive in a RLWC played in Australia I can not whu see there would be fewer pom RL supporters coming here than there were RU poms who came out here for the union WC. After all RL is still England's second biggest sport-is it not? www.totalrl.com/fansforum/index.php?s=0270ac5b8850d758f384a03d62dc6746&showtopic=17562

Clive What are the RU attendances figures. 16,815 ring a bell. 16,815 is the capacity at Welford road for the Tigers home games. What were you baseing your crazy claim about league on? More of your twisted statistics? ;D
