[b:1crbsr9w] Toulouse for Championship in 2017, Super League in 2021! Avignon for Championship in 2021, Super League in 2022! [/b:1crbsr9w]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_18302.png



The First Test should be at Wembley because the BBC advertising combined with vigorous RFL advertising should enable a crowd of 60,000 people if the tickets are sold at the right price.

The second Test should be at the Olympic Stadium, to get people from East London more involved in the game ...again it needs the pricing to be right.

The Third Test should be at Old Trafford or Etihad, because the impoverished M62 dwellers are entitled to see at least one Test within a train ride of home, after a full season of not having travel anywhere other than to London (for the first two Tests) or to the Papua-New Guinea colony at Newcastle on Tyne for the Magical Mystery Tour weekend.

Hope the game is at the Olympic stadium. It's too late now to schedule a game at Wembley and expect a healthy crowd but the Olympic stadium could be a shrewd move. Is the capacity around the 50k mark? I'd hope we could test that. It's a iconic stadium for people to visit and I'd like the chance to watch a game there (rugby league or another sport tbh).

Any word on the other games?

What utter rubbish! It's almost a bloody year away! Why is it too late to schedule a game at Wembley but not too late to schedule one at the Olympic Stadium?

You M62 lot are challenged by logic and very difficult to comprehend.

Just because you keep repeating yourself over and over, doesn't make it true unfortunately.

Other 2 games are up North but no other info given.

And no way should we have 2 games in London, what a moronic comment by the faux frog.

Wherever the games are to be staged, we should be selling tickets NOW and not still discussing where games may be staged.
It is just another example of mickey poor management at the highest level.
2 games "up north" and one in London seems most sensible, we just need to get on and sort it !

Billy. If you are so disillusioned with the way the game is run and have to snipe every time something is announced, then why do you bother commenting on RLFANS?

The site is called RLFANS which to me would mean its a forum for the fans of RL. You seem to hate RL judging by your comments, so again why do you bother commenting?

Erm, that the 2nd test is likely to be at the Olympic Stadium. No one claimed anything else did they? Hence no announcements in the media, like you were so quick to point out.

I know you're old and desperate but do try to keep up, it's not hard.

"As you travel through life don't sweat the petty things and don't pet the sweaty things" - George Carlin [url:2cg5oc2o]http://twitter.com/AndyGilder[/url:2cg5oc2o] [url:2cg5oc2o]http://fromthewesternterrace.blogspot.co.uk[/url:2cg5oc2o] This week: Four keys to a Rhinos win in the WCC:Transparent Backgrounds/Waldorf.gif



What's the rush exactly?

Granted if one game is going to be in London then a decent period of notice would be nice to sort out travel/accommodation etc, but it's not like selling tickets now is going to magically put another 10,000 on the gate, is it?

Still, if it gives the usual suspects chance to have a moan...

Hopefully this is true, the Olympic stadium is a great venue. Lots of cheap hotels, shopping, night life with great transport links.

1/Because there's a 40k difference in capacity and anything above 30-35k will look pretty respectable at the Olympic stadium but not so at Wembley.

2/Because I think there would be quite a bit of interest from people just wanting to attend a game at a new stadium and an iconic stadium rather then attending a ground we've played a cup final at for decades (that is obviously an iconic stadium also but people have been there and done that)

Two major reasons straight away for me. As for M62 logic, I've been banging the drum for a Wembley game for months but I believe we've left it too late to 'guarantee' a crowd people would see as respectable. The Olympic Stadium is less of a gamble.

The only rush was one created by the rfls claim that it would be announced in November......as it is, if it is the Olympic stadium then that's a brilliant choice and id expect it to be close to full.
