Youre making me feel like I should go in your place.
Talking to non club rugby people they are amazed at how good Shute shield is compared to everything above it.

I reckon SS is filling a void, people have turned off the top 2 tiers, and are looking for something to support.
Happily, it turns out that it's entirely watchable
As an aside, does anyone know what has become of the secret that is the Catchpole medal?

What about the Roden Cutler Shield?
The thing about the SS is that it is local to a large section of the population, it is cheap, and the standard of rugby is okay for entertainment value. Lots of running rugby, usually.
Plus there is a lot of history and tradition.

It was great coverage. Atmosphere coming through on the broadcast was brilliant. How wonderful to see a capacity crowd and apparently more wanted to get in.
Great game on top of that.

The coverage will be better if it is to be shown on the main channel next season, as is rumoured.

Norths won the rights to host the game, as I understand it. I would assume that they would keep the takings. But I sit to be corrected.

I would hazard a guess the success of the SS GF is the location of North Sydney Oval. It is relatively easy to get to for all clubs (except Parra, Penrith and perhaps the Souths). When full it's a actually a decent stadium to watch the game.
Ive been to quite a few finals at Concord and what struck me was the average age at the Concord finals was closer to the upper end of the age scale. At yesterday's game it was predominantly younger with lots of families. It was great to see.
If the SS GF is held at North Sydney Oval again, I'd recommend they they open the Northern and Southern gates and Fence it off and put food stalls and bars at either end (with screens showing the game). As nostalgic as NSO is, the food and bar facilities are primitive with long queues.
As an aside, I took some soccer playing nephews to the game. They now want to play rugby next year.

SRU gets the gate.
Norths get the catering & bar takings is my understanding.
