England v NZ & Scotland v Australia - Murrayfield or either of the Auld Firm stadiums. Doddle to get to by train, Virgin Trains are now in partnership with the RFL and hopefully they can get some sort of ticket deal involved.

England v Scotland - Heartlands,

England v Australia - Wembley (sod it, what's to lose?)

Scotland v NZ - Firhill? 10k capacity, Glasgow?

Final - Anfield, Etihad

They should do an England - Scotland, New Zealand - Australia double header in London. That way it's a pretty much guaranteed win for England and hopefully a close, good quality game for the Antipodean population. Preferably at Wembley as the Olympic Stadium is a poohole of the highest order.

If there is to be a game in Scotland, if they have it in Glasgow the logical choice will be Firhill. If they decide to take it to Edinburgh, then Tynecastle or Easter Road could be a possibility.

I'd love to see Scotland v England at Ibrox but it just wouldn't be feasible.

Especially as the natives wouldn't know who to support.

I wonder if the four nations will be launched and venues announced this weekend, with England coach Wayne Bennett and all the Aussies over.

It's quicker and easier for fans east of the pennines to get to MK and Coventry than it is liverpool. Theres also plenty of amatuer clubs in the vicinity of both as well as other Southern based fans that make up at least half of the tickets sold for Internationals at the big London venues so tbh 'Northerners' need not hold out for reduced tickets as per to make it worthwhile.
Anfield is outdated with crappy seating, the Anfield area itself is a complete dump in a not very nice area.
If the RFL go with Anfield for one of the big games I for one wouldn't bother attending.

Bloody hope so but I'd reckon for the sake of a few days, they'll do it after the World Club Challenge, or at least on the night of the Rhinos v Cowboys game (when they've sold all the tickets & can start plugging the next lot!).
Read the other day that despite all of the Anfield chat, Elland Road and Etihad are still favourites for the final

Cant be much longer, I think the world cup tickets went on sale about start of march so I would reckon that would be a good bet. Any of those 3 stadiums would be fine for the final, about right size to have a genuine go at filling cos international attendances are going up and whatever you might think about the bbc they have been plugging the game more; a few years ago they wouldn't have put the test series on. I for one am going to try to get to all the England game where ever they end up.

If only there was a east-to-west motorway, linking, say, Hull and Liverpool.

Oh....

The venues should have been announced and tickets made available in November following the NZ Series, right off the back off some exposure and positivity around England RL.

I'm not sure why the RFL seem to leave it so late.


World Cup Tickets should be announced at least my May to allow fans to plan their journeys over to Aus (or wherever else).

too busy sorting their mushy peas out i imagine
