That would be FANATSTIC my friend amd i also hope that by then ZA ZAicon_smile.gif has not thrown the towel in as the last i heard he was feeling very dejected with the RFLicon_sad.gif

All Wales games should be in Wales IMO. They could get a pretty big crowd for a NZ or Aus game. They got 18,000 10 years ago when Wales didn't even have a super league team.

Last years 4 Nations FINAL was played at Elland Rd. Australia v England. It didn't sell out ,what makes you think a semi final would.
I went to the games at Wigan,Huddersfield and the Final and attendances were about 20k for Hudds and Wigan and 30k for the final.
As for the Wigan game the weather was pretty bad,and traffic murder,had to walk last 2 miles to the ground due to gridlocked traffic and missed first 20 mins.Weather has to be factored in ,if its played Oct Nov its going to be cold,I attend international fixtures but would have no interest in freezing my nuts off watching USA v Lebanon. I would just turn up later for the main game, which I suspect a lot of other people would ,which in turn would negate the attraction of the Double header fixture.
Looking at the venues the RL booked for the 4 nations and the relative attendances that they achieved I would say they got it right.Anyone who wanted a ticket got one,and the Stadiums didn't have tens of thousands of empty seats on view for the televised games.Something I suspect would happen if Wembley or another 60K plus stadium were booked.

The Wales-England game quite simply has to be at the Racecourse. Guaranteed sell-out when you consider the Kop won't be in use, though maybe being a three-sided ground is why the RFL may wish to avoid it?

I think we should keep the Wales Vs England game in England and play it at DW, closest big stadia to wales. Parc y Scarlets or the Racecourse would be a good place for the Wales vs AUS game both have a good capacity and looking at wales past record in big competitions they turn out!

The top tier was not opened for the 4 nations final and I think a semi-final against Aus or NZ in the world cup could attract more than the 4 nations.

The pricing for the other games was all wrong, £40 seat along the side for what would normally cost me £14 at a Wigan game, people just won't pay it. Thats why large gaps appeared along the sides against Aus and NZ.

Pricing is simple, £10 behind the goals, £15 in the middle block..... £20 down the sides, £25 in the middle block.
