Canny Scots and Football “Gates”
Where the Shekels Go
The canny Scots in Dunedin who sought information about the Auckland Rugby League’s free list for rep. matches (Otago is playing here this season) must have heard something about the English League team’s experiences in Australia. There, the figures are so staggering of 39,466 who passed through the turnstiles for the Test match at Brisbane, 9,093 saw the game without paying a penny. Of this number 7,721 were ground members, and 1,382 were season ticket-holders and coraplimentariee. Is it any wonder (asks the Sydney Sportsman) that the English managers are getting Sherlock Holmes to run their cut to earth?
