| The RFL have confirmed England will face New Zealand in the USA during Super League's mid-season international break. The game will be played on Saturday, June 23 at Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.
Capacity: 76,125
Guesses on the attendance now being taken. <10k for me.

| Enough time to market the game then
Imo the nzrl and rfl should send out thousands of free tickets to schools colleges and universities around Denver. May get some younger people hooked and want to play the game

| No rugby league is played in Denver. Rugby league is played in Toronto. But the organiser chose Denver. Guarantee of an embarrassingly small crowd in a huge stadium.
I am suspicious of sleazy goings on by the organiser and his contacts in Denver -- maximising his profit while minimising the crowd.

| Its good to see the outcry that hit when the NRL tried to pooh pooh the game has now shifted to "why Denver"
World Cup 2025 in USA, lets get an Eng v NZ international in Denver.....NRL says they won't release players....
"thats disgusting. They shouldn't have a say" "this game should definitely go ahead" "how naive to not play it" "place conspiracy theory here"
*background work takes place to get game on*
The game will now be played......
"how ridiculous" "should be played in Toronto" "They should have played at *place generic stadium here*"
Eddie Hearn will quickly jump ship when he realises that it's not just the establishment which holds RL back....

| Unless of course this is a way of working out if people will be interested in RL in the US?

| I’m skeptical this is going to be a success, but would be glad to be proved wrong.

6731_1299024498.jpg [quote="King Street Cat":1wa9s43t]Some might look at this as being harsh but I think it's fair. When are the Rugby League going to stop persisting with this fantasy expansion. If it hasn't worked by now, it never will! I'm all for reaching out to a wider audience with our game but not at the expense of historical clubs in the homelands.[/quote:1wa9s43t]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_6731.jpg |

....and if they aren't?
I fear for the RLWC in 2025.........trying to create interest in a sport with no foothold and then deliver an event of that size is a mammoth task that will take many many many millions of $ to see any traction.....and what exactly do we know about Json Moore and his company?
1. rlhttp://www.mooresportsintl.com/news/rl He doesn't update his website that often!
2. er....not a lot
Sad to say it, but if they fail to get enough interest in this, I can see the RLWC 2025 being re-allocated....

| Im wondering how we will judge whether this is a success seen as there is no basis to compare. I would see it as a success if there were 20,000 people there seen as that would be a decent international attendance anywhere in the world but that would just look rubbish in such a big ground.
