Doubt wether the football clubs will allow either Wigan or Hull to be used as it will be during the football season. Especially Wigan after the criticisms of their pitch. The new Saints ground will be a certainty.

The problem with Wembley for the final is that as the match will almost certainly be on Sky, they'd insist on an evening ko which would make it difficult (if not impossible) for most British supporters to get to the game.

hull city won't have a say in wether they will allow rugby league to be played, if they continue losing money at the rate they are now they will be in the lower leagues by 2013, the stadium management company (smc) decides what can and can't be played at the kc and adam pearson has already said that he wants international rugby league back in hull asap

Then one of the stipulations the RLIF has to make in any TV rights deal is that the final will be on a Saturday afternoon. Hell I'd even sell the rights to the final seperate and at a chepaer rate to the BCC, get it on FTA, get 70K down to London for a Saturday alvo and show the UK what RL is all about!

Hedingley is a semi derelict stadium with part of one stand in a condemed state and a pitch that will probably be like a sandpit It should not be used for RL world cup games in its current state.

??????

So you need a 15k stadium for papua new guinea vs tonga? Leigh or Widnes should be fine and they hold 12k

Semis should be at DW/KC/Galpharm
Final should be in london the Ideal location being the Emirates, Wembley is too big



Its worse than Hull FC's/Wigans/Warrington/Widnes/Hudds and soon Saints and Salford's new grounds, poor effort by the best supported, most successful and highest income club

Its away end is the worst in the league, equal to Castlefords, HKR

Given that it will be an Australia v NZ final again I think the idea of holding it in London makes sense.

Twickenham stoop would be ideal. They managed to fit us all in last time.

We dont want to be giving any money to kick and clap

Nooooo

Twickenham Stoop.

Home of Harlequins RL.


I'll forgive you for the confusion, I assume you have never been there

Nor has anyone else hence the nickname 'The Moon'

I only went once and that was for the Aus v NZ game

Apologies I thought you meant Twickhenam Stadium, you know the home of English Rugby Union

Ive been yes, only once though. Its a nice place, the right size for quins tiny attendances
