| The tickets left at Hull are all upper tier pretty much, so with that being behind the cameras it will give the perception of being full

| That's 40,000 with well over a week to go and the message on Twitter stated they were selling quickly. This has the potential to top 50,000, or even sell out.

Which is why next year we should have the fixtures at bigger stadiums. KC and DW are great stadiums at club level, but for internationals, just screams small time IMO
Next year for the four nations I'd love us to have double header at Newcastle, London, Manchester.

I like that idea, playing all four nations rounds as double headers would surely fill or near fill 45-50,000 capacity grounds and would look great on tv which is one of the keys to raising the popularity of our sport, what people see when they watch it.

| The RFL have tried not to run before they can walk but it does feel like they need to step it up a level. I'd have liked them to go for two bigger grounds out of the three games in this series. With 20,000 sold for Wigan already it's safe to assume we could have sold out Elland Road if it turns out to be a decider. It's just a shame it's a bit of a dump. I think they need to try and get games to the Etihad going forward.

I'm not sure Aus v NZ at Olympic Park would be a good idea, agree with the sentiment though

Completely agree.
Play it at smaller stadiums and it comes across as a small time sport.
Playing at bigger and more impressive stadiums helps create that 'event' appeal that attracts the floating fan and stokes up interest.
GB played NZ at Loftus Road, in 2005 and attracted 15-16k. Pretty much the same fixture in the same city, but plated at the Olympic Stadium is already at 40k. It's not [iall[/i due to the choice of stadium, but it's a big part of it.
Sorry to bring up a Union reference, but the amount of people I know this Autumn who've been to a RUWC game despite not being RU fans is ridiculous. Every fker seemed to be at the Scotland USA game at Elland Road.
Scrap double headers too, again that just devalues our game.
The 4 nations needs to be at better stadiums. Think bigger and market the hell out of it
England vs Australia - Wembley (90k)
New Zealand vs Scotland - Ibrox (51k)
England vs Scotland - Elland Road (38k)
Australia vs New Zealand - Olympic Stadium (54k)
England vs New Zealand - Etihad (60k)
Scotland vs Australia - Easter Road (20k) or Tynecastle (17k)
Final - Old Trafford (76k)
