Does anyone else not think that the 2.30 KO affected the turn out?

I had a game myself and so had to watch the game on sky plus later.

Had it not clashed, i'd have been there with another 10-15 people instead we all watched it at mine after the game.

BBC's decision?

have'nt fans "wanted" a afternoon kick off for years?

Whatever the reason.... the game should have been a sell out. It's played in Wigan... supposedly a hot bed for RL... yet the best team on the planet cannot turn up to a sell out roughly 25,000. The RFL may have to answer to some of this... as keeping it as Great Britain would have certainly made me a little more interested than the diluted entity that is England.

How many Scottish, Irish or Welsh players would have got into the team had it been called Great Britain?

Pat Richards for one.

That was the only one I could think of.

Access to the stadium is a nightmare. I set off from Oldham at 1230 for what should be a 40 minute journey. We got there with just 15 mins to spare to kick off time.

For next time, you can get the train from Oldham to Wigan (think it's Wallgate). You just need to change at Manchester Victoria.

I just don't think people enjoy international RL, me included. IF there was a game at the KC I may have gone to it but other then that it just doesn't interest me.

Thanks for that. Any particular reason why?
