Quote: BrisbaneRhino "gutterfax - agree about not going too OTT on Wembley/Cardiff etc. If you could get 3 x 25k and packed stadia the atmosphere would be fantastic and a real spectacle on TV. That's what we need to recreate ASAP.
An absolutely massive if, but IF England internationals - at least against Oz/NZ - start to be seen as events, as they clearly have at this WC, there's no reason why over time you couldn't move to bigger stadiums and fill them.'"
....totally agree.
The trick is to get BBC to cover the 3 games LIVE on BBC......and the timing will be crucial, as "Auntie" has deals with regard to the home nations (excluding England) for their Autumn internationals, so 1.30pm or evening KO's or Sundays at 3pm......fill the stadiums, then step up to Bellend Road, Stamford bridge/white hart lane and maybe even OT....build it up as a must see tour and the best way to shorten the off season.....within 6 or 7 years you could look at Wembley for the opener confident of 60K+......it would be a 10-12 year programme, but if you stick at it.....it could become a massive thing.
