| I'd have the first game of the series at Ashton Gate Stadium in Bristol. Might be too small for some people here but 21k should mean a sell out and it builds on the world cup match there (7k for USA vs Cook Islands) - Bristol is a fantastic place to visit too.

| You're all forgetting that the RFL already own an iconic stadium....

21k at a game in Bristol for England v NZ cant see that happening.
the 7k was great though, but the world cup was well run and tickets sold cheap

The "game" is simply not big enough to warrant such a stadium.
And where would you site such a thing and what capacity would it have.
If it were 60,000 capacity, it would be used 2/3 times per year and if it were smaller that this, it wouldn't be suitable for the Grand Final or Challenge Cup Final.

Nonsense! RL deserves to win spoty every year, should be front page news every day and is a truly national game.......the national stadium would be rammed every week if only they'd build it

just the one game though, last few games there have been double headers and big games like the world cup semi... think it would be too hard to fill the stadium for the first test v NZ , shame but true... unless the RFL can market it and sell tickets at the right price!

£2.50 for adults.
£1.00 for juniors/retired.
£5.00 family ticket for 4.
With additional discounts via Groupon or Wowcher where they end up paying you to attend?
A pricing structure like that you mean?
Plus free beanie hats and replica shirts for everyone of course.

And the media interest would still be minimal.

That's the fault of the game itself.
Still no announcement on tickets and dates for the Kiwi Test Series, [url=http://www.therfl.co.uk/news/article/30994/england-to-face-kiwis-in [udespite a promise to release such details in mid-November[/u[/url.
If the game cannot generate any of its own interest in internationals and instead treats it as an afterthought, why would anyone else's interest in it be anything other than minimal?

Nail absolutely on head here sadly. Most of the big UK media platforms will be publishing their Sporting Calendar of 2015 this week. Exactly what do we expect them to publish about this series when we have given them pretty much nothing?
