Ashes series?

Tagged on at the end of a Stupor League season as an afterthought?

No thanks.

The hugely successful Ashes died when it could no longer be scheduled accordingly. The domestic switch to Sky Sports empty summer scheduling murdered it.

I don't see the clamour for a series of midweek games played between two sets of fringe reserve players?

It's a bad stadium, and taking all 3 games away from your fan base surely isn't going to work?

I'd go for opener in London, one in Manchester, one in Leeds or Newcastle.

In what way is the Olympic stadium a bad stadium?

I thought it was a brilliant stadium.

If we are going to have an Ashes series, and i would really hope one could be sorted soon, then i two warm up tests against France and Scotland followed by the three tests against the Aussies. Give the Aussies the French too as a warm up the weekend we play Scotland.

I would play the first test at OT second at Headingley and third at Anfield. I think if well marketed (ha, unlikely i know) we could get 60k plus for OT, fill Headingley and depending on whether the series was still alive 35k to a full house for Anfield.

Game 1- Etihad
Game 2- Emirates (Arsenal)
Game 3- Old Trafford

I'd go Newcastle, elland road, olé Trafford

Atmosphere was terrible last year against NZ, sat miles away from the pitch, pain to get to, not much nearby. Basically didn't enjoy it!

It's a soulless stadium. Not built for football or rugby league

What stadium has a soul?

Huddersfield, Wigan and Hull FCs ground only.

I know they've just had an origin game but we can't go all the way to Mexico for an Great Britain-Australia test match. (Those are good shouts though really)

We sold 35000 tickets for a criminally undermarketed game on a Sunday away from the heartlands this weekend just gone. We could sell 55000, maybe even double that, up North easily if it were promoted properly.

Getting away from the stadium on foot was an absolute disgrace on Sunday. It took us the best part of an hour to get back the half mile or so to the pubs in Stratford town centre.

We've been both years but it's an absolute pain in the backside of a ground to get to and then get away from. As die hard league fans I'd probably do battle again should we go there in the future but I'd prefer them to move it to Arsenals stadium (which I've been to a few times and found the ground to be superb) or maybe to the New White Hart Lane when that's finished (although I don't know a great deal about the access round there).

If we were to have an Ashes series I'd go-

Game One-Emirates Stadium
Game Two-St James Park
Game Three-Etihad Stadium

Maybe the RFL could plan on getting tickets on sale more then Six months in advance in future though.
