Quote roughyedspud="roughyedspud"can't believe the australia v NZ game is at the 12,000 capacity stoop?? wtf is that all about? it's way too small...
as for the other venues...i and most of us predicted them,abit disappointed they chose elland road over eastlands though'"
I am baffled that the expansion minded RFL are again stuck on the M62 when it comes to the international game.
England should be playing Australia in London at one of the football grounds.
The final should be somewhere outside the traditional venues. Eastlands would have been better for promoting the game in and around Greater Manchester, rather than Leeds which doesnt really need it.
Elland Road is possibly the worst stadium I have ever been to - in terms of transport, parking, facilities, atmosphere. So I am guessing it must have been cheap to rent it.
