The issue here is that the Government funding attached to the RLWC is coming from their development fund for the Northern Powerhouse, hence funding criteria stipulatedWhilst the tournament will be hosted across England 80% of the hosts towns and cities for tournament will be located in the Northern Powerhouse region; Doncaster, Huddersfield, Hull, Leeds, Manchester, Newcastle, Sheffield and York supporting the governments vision and £25 million investment into the tournament and its legacy."

So there was never a free-hand to take the game to many other regions. |

| Quote: Donnyman "World cup, 4nations and other major international games have been played all over the place over many years in order to take the highest level of RL to new audiences
Early Great Britain games were played in London, Newcastle Birmingham, Cheltenham and Edingburgh.
A double header 4 nations in modern times was taken to Coventry...........
The crowds will go to these games, they will enjoy them, they will remark on how good they have been, but at the end of the day as one RL journalist noted. the crowd will show their appreciation of the games and players, clap loudly, cheer, and afterwards all go back to their Rugby Union clubhouses and make plans for going to the RU internationals.
The Coventry double header grew NOTHING. it merely deprived Long and Loyal Rugby League fans of easy to get to first class International RL.
The bottom line is look after your regular customers I want to see world cup games live, and I will be going with friends who live in the north and like to go to these games every time they come round. But they aren't travelling 120 miles to Coventry & back
As for Coventry, what did that 4 Nations game do for RL long terms there? Check out the Bears struggles......'"
So speaks a "bus pass" RL fan......I fly 900kms to Auckland and thousands to straya to watch the Warriors. London Broncos fans who attend away games (hens teeth, but they do exist) circumnavigate the globe each year....but you resent a 2 hr car trip. You are assuredly one of the people who believed the tories would build you a northern powerhouse  | | |

How horrific it must be travelling 120 miles to Coventry and back. I am wondering how these northerners manage to make it as far as London every year as its clearly such a struggle.
Not exactly the furthest distance to travel. | | |

The main issue is that once the match is played that's it. There's no plan to back up with further internationals or events. You need have repeated games and events to build | | | |

Exactly
Rememeber the RFL after the last World Cup here talking about a legacy etc etc yet what happened after? nothing.
The NRL take origin to Melbourne time and time again. Afl country and a region where players are not even eligible to play origin.
They take nrl games to South Australia and Perth. Not once but every year as the only way you can actually build something is by giving new markets a product to actually watch. It really isn't a difficult concept to grasp. | | |

Not following up the 2013 World Cup Semi, the best test game in modern times with another game in London was an absolute scandal. Ive never heard so many non Northern accents at an RL game. RU would have invented a rematch or some 'historic' trophy to market a few months later as an excuse for another game. | | | |
