Councils have spent over £2million bidding to host football world cup games that are to be played in Russia. I hope they put a similar effort into hosting RL world cup games.
Leeds city council spent: £272,829
Manchester council spent : £144,750

Crazy suggestion, why not try a cricket ground? Employ some temporary seating, you could easily fit in a good 4,000 extra through making it rectangular, tickets for the oval would be cheap and could go fast.

| Quote: Odemwingie "Lots of double headers should be used for smaller games along with some of the larger games. The opener should be a double header at Wembley or OT. England V Australia along with NZ v France. England v Ireland might not get more than 20k but with NZ v Samoa thrown in as well people might go.'"
Huzzah! It only took us one and a bit pages.
AJ Viking mentioned £15 is too much for a group game. Fair point in his opinion. IIRC I think I paid that amount for the England V Australia game at the DW Stadium last year (give or take a fiver.) However when you hire out a stadium you have pretty much got it for the day, plus whatever preparation you need beforehand. Maximise the use of the pitch especially at the smaller group games.
As previously mentioned as well, try to locate games in areas that have a large population of that nations ethnic mix. Like playing one or two Fijian games around Manchester because of their links there.
Opening round of games, for example, could be.
Day One - Friday night.
England V Australia - DW/KC Stadium. 8pm kick off.
Day Two - Saturday.
Fiji V Ireland - Salford's new stadium. 1pm kick off.
Papua New Guinea V Samoa - Salford's new ground. 3pm kick off.
Scotland V Tonga - Wrexham. 5pm kick off.
Wales V Cook Islands - Wrexham. 7pm kick off.
Day Three - Sunday.
USA V Lebanon - The Stoop. 5pm kick off.
New Zealand V France - The Stoop. 5pm kick off.
Avoid having double headers on weekdays, and if possible no games midweek as this minimises attendances due to people at work etc. |

Unlike Australian cricket grounds, I'm don't think county cricket grounds have facilities for extra seating so the ground becomes a rectangle. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Also I doubt the groundsman would like it if 34 rugby players were trampling his wicket. |

Also, I don't think we should use Wembley, perhaps the Olympic Stadium, to ride on the 2012 wave? If we look at the Quarters, we're probably going to end up with;
Australia/France - Craven Cottage, Near the Centre, if I can remember it from the Everton match last year is easy to get to. Is big enough (27,000) and would get the recognition needed.
England/Tonga - DW Stadium, in a Place that loves Rugby League, and is well deserving, probably best place to have it, but this could be transferred with Hudds/Leeds/Hull.
New Zealand/Fiji - Craven Cottage, Double Header with Aus/France, limits stadiums, and limits costs. Boosts Crowds.
Samoa/Wales - Racecourse Ground, speaks for itself, should be the home of Crusaders, and will no-doubt attract a good crowd.
Semis;
Australia/England
New Zealand/Wales
Both should be held at a 35,000/40,000 stadium, as a double header, I would say Anfield, Sheffield, or Elland Road.
Final: Olympic Stadium?

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

Final
England and Tonga are not in the same group, neither are NZ and Fiji...... neither are NZ and Wales.
You can only decide on stadiums for specific games with the group games.
I would have the 1/4 finals at 2 grounds, both double headers. The one involving England at Elland road or Eastlands. Maybe even at a bigger ground and double it up with the Aus or NZ 1/4 final.
I would do the same for the semi... pick a big stadium and play both games in a double header, this cuts the cost and will get a much bigger crowd.

Apart from a good laugh, what I mostly got from this thred is how deluded some people are. Using somewhere like LSV for a minor game isnt thinking small, its thinking practical taking into account potential attendance and costs involved. Your having a laugh if you think we can get any higher than 25-30,000 for any group game. Who wants a double header in October/November? If some on here had their way we would be suing 50,00 seater stadiums and most likely get a small attendance and lose money.
Ticket deals would be a good start not free tickets.

Now, that's a double header I'd pay to see
52 players on the pitch at any given point in time  |
