Quote: Odemwingie "You make a good point. We already get great crowds at those venues. I guess we would need to know how much we pay to play at those places to know if this would work.
Internationals would be more succesful at somewhere at Old Trafford IMO. Making so many fans travel so far is harder than getting them to Old Trafford.'"
This is the thing, we don't know how much it costs. I'm pretty confident though that if it wasn't cost effective they wouldnt be doing it. Look at the CC semis this season. I think most of us would have thought the crowds would be large enough to fill Ewood Park/Reebok or Odsal/Galpharm. Instead the RFL went for smaller venues. I would imagine its because of what they know will be most cost effective.
My ideal if-I-were-in-charge-and-everything-went-according-to-plan structure for the four nations would be to eventually build it up to having four Double-Headers. There'd be the three rounds and the final. Each round would be held at Wembley, Old Trafford and Millenium (assuming Wales are in). The final at OT or Wembley. Of course this is a dream... for now
