Maybe they just don't want you there.

Don't know, it wasn't due to stadium availability as West Ham have the weekend off, maybe a BBC decision?

| I don't think the crowds have been too bad, similar to previous 4 nations I reckon.

Todays crowd was 35,569, last year they got 44,393 against the Kiwis so 9k down, despite Australia traditionally being a bigger box office draw.
Back in 2011 they got 42k to Wembley against Australia, so again todays crowd was well down. Very disapointing given we won a test series last year, and the post Tournament hype of Sam Burgess' return and Bennett's arrival.
Cant imagine Olympic Stadium is cheap to rent, the empty seats looked awful on the TV. All in all a deflating day.

I went last year & said then I wouldn't be in any hurry to go back. Awful stadium, no atmosphere and treated like cattle when trying to get away afterwards. Stick to Wembley down South and use Newcastle & other footy stadia up North.

44k was one of the opening fixtures for the stadium and plenty of neutrals turned up to take a look at the stadium, e.g. West Ham fans, a one off attendance I think.
42k at Wembley; 1. it was a double header, 2. Wembley is a much better stadium than the Olympic Stadium.
