Well i've booked 50 tickets and am running a trip from Hull, so I think i've done my bit for the cause

MattyB has told me its not safe for me in Wigan. Is it safe for me in any rugby league town or city other than my own?

Where did I say I wanted England to lose you moron and who are the 2 great sides you are speaking of, Australia and....... ?

define loads. 5-10K left? or more. anything under 20K would be shameful

i cant go to any of the group games due to being a poor student, but im booked in for the final and hoping the postal strikes doesnt screw up the tickets getting sent!

It’ll be a sad day for the sport when we can’t fill a rugby league stadium for the biggest international fixture when just less than a week earlier the exhibition regular round NRL football match got how many in Wembley?

Its a football stadium

indeed. the question a half empty stadium poses to the RFl is why? is it the fear of inevitable loss to Roo's, ticket prices, too long a season or something else.

I think and hope it will be 22-24K.

You can still buy 20 tickets together in the cheapest price category directly behind the sticks. Tickets are still available in every single block of the stadium.

I couldnt get 4 together directly behind the sticks last week, you can get 20 in the outer blocks behind the sticks possibly in the North.

I suspect it'll struggle to break 20k from what I've been told.

If it does then Wigan should lose this match in future, Hull/Leeds should gain it

Why?

Why would more people turn up if it was in Leeds than they would if it was in Wigan?

No chance of that happening, Duffen doesn't want international RL at the KC, it might clash with his basket-weaving conference.

Lets not kid oursleves that it's a problem with Wigan(or Hudds, Hull or any other ground if it were somewhere else and didn't sell out). It's a problem for British Rugby League in general and moving these games from one ground to the next won't do us any favours.

A compepative team will do us the world of good as would tickets that are all priced between 20 and 30 quid and not going as high as 40 and 50 quid.

The lack of unity in RL is the problem at International level, is there a full Barla weekend of fixtures?
