Nothing angry about it, just observing that it's highly
unlikely.

Back in 2012, it had ~ 18,000 weekly subscribers (excludes
people buying from newsagents). As 70,710 attended games last
weekend, the % of potential fans reached is ~ 25% (if their
readership has held up or even extended).
Just imagine if the Torygraph/Grauniad/Smite could attract that
percentage of their target readers (approx 13.5m Tory Voters,
12.9m Labour Voters 2.3m Liberal Voters at 2017 election) with
their Sunday editions (278,500/163,700/712,300 respectively):
they wouldn't be worrying about circulation figures if they
could match The Rugby Papers catch.
But your point about the Slot Machine is valid. ;)

I'm impressed at your attempts, but that's not quite logically
right as a comparison.
Sport England puts the number of people actively taking part in
rugby once a week at 199,000 (2015), there are more than 340,000
registered rugby players in the country, and BT sport averages
345,000 viewers per match, not to mention the peak of 8.9m who
watched the Wales v England 6 nations match on the TV.
So even we take a very low estimate and call it 250,000 people
who might care about rugby every week - they're selling to less
than 7%.
On a similar measure the Sun (1.4m), Mail (1.3m), Times (500k),
are therefore hitting 23% of those Tories daily. Much more
weekly.
But let's not even consider the fact that in the last election,
19% of Mirror readers were Tory voters and 30% of Sun readers
voted Labour because it all gets too confusing....

Every time someone posts on this thread after a day or two of no
posting, I get excited that there's a Snyman update. Then I
remember I played an active part in making this thread more
about publishing figures. D'oh.

Many rugby clubs have a stack of "free" copies of the magazine
in their clubhouses. and many may be bought in shops, so 70K is
the low end. However, if you include the Mail, Sun etc, then the
figures are still roughly the same ~ 25-30% of the Sunday papers
reach their target audience which is roughly the same as the
Rugby Paper. My admittedly crude effort to highlight the figures
was mainly to point out that rather more than "no one" (i.e.
~70,000) reads the paper.
There are more "rent a gob poor journalist(s)" working for the
Sun/Mail/other tabloid than I'd care to imagine - not sure they
are newspapers; rather loudspeakers blaring out coprolite.
Apologies, TomBQ, if this breakout session has failed to excite
you. I too, hope that Snyman arrives and that certain fans on
this board donate many babies (*) for him to eat.
[(*) metaphorical babies - obviously not real ones]

Why is it a “baby eating lock” ? A lock that eats something
much bigger and scary like a polar bear or rhinoceros would be
more intimidating.

See the spelling police missed one. :o
Would be a great signing though I still get the feeling we’ll
announce 1 or 2 more.
