[quote="gutterfax":2v2cei1t]I like Bazza. He chose the name of a cross dressing Austalian institutions other persona.....and is your typical Aussie w@nker living in London whilst he tries to get some culture by visiting Prague to get pi55ed on Cheap Star, getting a fondle from a dodgy hooker in amsterdam and eating a snail for a bet when in paris. All of these things will make him a cultural icon when his visa runs out and he is sent the way of his great grandparents....alas, not in chains this time.[/quote:2v2cei1t]

We are meeting up at a pub called the Barmy Arms.
Or alternatively we may just enjoy some roast Swan canapes washed down with a cheeky glass of chardonnay from a vintage picnic set in the car park out of the back of my mates fathers Range Rover.
Top hole.

100% Hull FC -part of thebrotherhood of Rugby League, The Best Game in the World to watch.: |

| If the international games are to be played as seem likely, on a Saturday, then NEVER EVER AGAIN SHOULD IT BE TAKEN TO THE DW STADIUM in Wigan. Sorry Wigganers, but until you start complaining about whoever is in charge of the traffic to attend matches for international, and manage to get it organised, either by having some police on points duty, then I suggest RFL cancels any big matches ever again.
The Reeboc would have been a much better choice.
Well done to Huddersfield, who obviously have their traffic police better trained at operating the lights for travelling fans. They hold the traffic up to allow all the coaches/cars to leave the stadium and so on to the motorways in record time.
And Dico, sorry if you think it is too dear to go to Wembley. It's a pleasure you still have to experience as you grow in years and begin to have more than just pocket money to save up for treats. Take it from gran, you'll enjoy it with all the clubs, etc in west end to sample!
Hope I see even more of you at Elland Road, saw a few Wigganers last weekend, as well as a family sat next to me at Wembley and enjoyed their company as do all travelling fans who mix very well.
Come on ENGLAND, .....grannyfan Cindy

| Exactly.
Sell 50% to corporates and add that on too and that is your typical international union crowd.

| The international game needs to be nurtured.
1. Aim to return one of the fixtures to Wembley, be it the final or England/Australia.
2. The savings scheme suggested in an earlier post sounds very sensible. Wimbledon operates a ballot for tickets each year, RL could adopt something similar. Write to everyone on the RFL database, saying that they have allocated tickets for the international fixtures at a 50% discount provided that they buy 2/3 months in advance. This would stimulate early takeup.
3. Run more mid season internationals, possibly on the Friday night of the earlier Challenge Cup weekends. England, France, Wales and an Other Nationalities would give 3 additional fixtures during the season. May just encourage a few people to watch a club game on the Sunday.

| Given whatever exists at international level is produced in a PR vacuum, the only way is up from the years since the end of the Super League War.
Provided, again, it is afforded proper respect; and that doesn't include being shunted to the end of the ESL and NRL seasons.
