I don’t blame specifically Hull FC, I blame the whole city, and wouldn’t take an international back there. If we have another 3 match series games should be held in, Leeds, London then Manchester or Liverpool.'"
7,937 empty seats in Hull
27,840 empty seats in Anfield
But yeah, let's rush back to Anfield  |

The Leigh and Wakefield fans mentality......
Say something negative about any other team than theirs - Its an opinion

Quite possibly, the most stupid post I’ve read on here recently and given the wakefield fans ejaculation about the speed bump that’s saying something!

Using that logic we should play at the Wedding Venue London Broncos use, we’d be guaranteed a full house even for England v France on a Wednesday night.

Oh it's the cities fault. I thought it was an England international not a Hull International game. I didn't realise we had to provide all the spectators for the game and they couldn't be drawn from all over England. |

I thought Anfield was a great success in everything accept the mediocre crowd, I enjoyed it, reckon a test match against the Aussies would be close to capacity, it's a venue I would like to see use more, lots of casual Rl fans in the soccer city of Liverpool. |

What is the "speed bump", I presume it's the KCOM ??
Without doubt the best ground for any SL side.  |

So you must think it’s wrong to use Wembley for the Challenge Cup Final as we don’t fill that. Where would you like to see it moved to?

Only stadium outside Wembley in uk that would hold those attendances is Twickenham, so your point is invalid. |

| 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 |

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.
