i know we play the cowboys on the 21st feb but has the venue been confirmed yet?

All will be at Headers for the foreseeable future in my opinion.

Elland Road does make it in to a bit more of an final/event than just a glorified friendly at HQ

Maybe we should take the game on the road?

How about Huddersfield,it will show them what they are missing.Could act as a springboard for them

I heard the medical and coaching staff there all have to experts in the Heimlich manouvre. No certificate, no job.

Won't they have their own WCC match in 2016?

Man City stadium wouldn't be a bad choice imo

Or a medium sized London club like spurs ground. It only holds 36k doesn't it.

And so conveniently located just round the corner [size200.7 miles away[/size HQ for mine

Why would you take it out of Leeds? It doesn't make business sense, we'd lose a good percentage of the revenue.

Some of the suggestions above are windups surely?

It will be Langtree Park, DW and Headingley.

Just a thought! If we want to expand our brand past LS6 it may be an idea to take the game to the capital

Leeds United are away that weekend, would be brillaint to have it there.

if the game wants this concept to be taken seriously it has to be more than a glorified friendly at the SL clubs home ground.

While it's laudable to talk about taking the game to places like the US or Dubai for example to help spread the game, the issue with that is the timing. It falls during the SL regular season, but in the NRL pre-season in its current spot on the calendar.

So you'd be potentially asking the SL side to play a league fixture, travel, acclimatise, play the WCC and then come back for another regular season game within the space of say 12 days. Meanwhile the NRL side can schedule the trip however it wants, because it doesn't have league fixtures to plan it around.

You've then got the revenue question, of where is the game likely to make the most money for the competing clubs. Unless a third party sponsor suddenly comes up with silly money to play in another venue, unfortunately the place where the game will get the biggest crowd and make the most money is unfortunately Leeds.

A bit of marketing building it up as the quadruple, and we'd get 30,000 plus at Elland Road. Don't like the WCC at HQ. Doesn't feel like a 'final'
