Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "The attitude of some fans is shocking, wanting your country to lose because a player from your club isn’t selected is unbelievable.'"


I nkow that not all fans wear any club colurs at International games but, there were very few Leeds fans knocking about and even fewer from "over the hill".
The vast majority were FC fans. Perhaps it's not just SOME Trinity fans that dont turn up if their own clubs players aren't picked icon_eek.gif

Quote: Call Me God "The Bit I bolded and enlarged in the last post shows how often more than not, threads on here become slagging matches with little context as to the thread topic.......the OP was decrying the venues at Hull and Leigh for their lack of attendance but Rollin thunder has totally missed this and gone ahead with praising anfield except for the attendance

You really have the cheek to call someone else a troll, just because they do not agree with your opinion,

Firstly I simply praised the choice of venue and the match day experience, and as the attentence was 10k more than the one at then RL mad city of Hull, then the fact is Liverpool a soccer mad city should be looked at again as a future test venue.

Secondly Hull blew their chances of future tests due to a lacklustre crowd. Elland road today will have over 30k so Leeds as a venue is secured. Liverpool should be given another chance, the 3rd/4th city for future test/trinations is now up for grabs.

This is not Hull bashing this is simply the way it is, the fact the the kcom by far the smallest capacity produced the smallest crowd, by some distance, Hull should now not be considered a test venue.

This. Well said. I’d be considering the following grounds for the likely series against Australia in 2020 (England’s next games). Elland Road, City of Manchester Stadium, Old Trafford, Anfield, London Olympic Stadium and Wembley

JESUS WEPT :WALL: HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover. There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them. :BEAT::d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_76030.jpg



Quote: rollin thunder "You really have the cheek to call someone else a troll, just because they do not agree with your opinion, '"


I called Ruune a troll because of his comments after the first test match about how it was rubbish and him "thanking god for England v South Africa at Union, which was better".....not because I disagree with him.......because he was trolling!

As for Sir Kevin. He has a track record of slagging off both Wakefield and Leigh in the hope of getting a nibble....given he is a Leeds fans, who has fewer than 4% of his posts on the Leeds boards, it's pretty fair to assume that if it walks like a duck and quacks like one, then it's probably what it walks and talks like.....he started this thread and felt the need to include the attendance at an England B fixture because it was having a pop at leigh.....ask Leigh fans if he's a troll!

I didn't call you a troll, I just pointed out the hypocrisy of slagging off Hull with 25% unsold seats whilst applauding Anfield with 50% unsold.......

5,700 unsold seats at Elland Road. A stadium spitting distance from SL sides Leeds, Castleford, Wakefield and Huddersfield as well as Championship heavyweights Bradford and Halifax....hardly awe inspiring.

76,069 over 3 games, down from 92,660 3 years ago......I'd say that rather than slag off the venues, the people responsible for marketing this vastly reduced gate(18%) should be taken to task. You don't have to agree with my stance and if you don't, it won't make you a troll, just someone happy to lay blame where it isn't deserved.
