One would hope so. But it will be mostly the car owners and their friends who will show up, given the difficulty of getting to LSV by public transport. |

Is the game being shown on TV in France? If so, I'm pretty sure there'll be a stream of it somewhere online.

I bet there are a few hanging out for discount codes, given the £10 ticket price too. |

Ive just done a bit of searching and cant seem to find anything saying it is on tv, doesn't mean it isn't though it was just a quick search. |

I think we can say with a degree of certainty that it will be full. Last England game there was against Wales in the four nations and the attendance was approx. 10,500 and after that there was Tonga v cook islands in the world cup with about the same so if they can fill it for a low level group game then England will no probs! |

Something is inherently wrong when the NZ warmup game against a leeds elect side is on TV but the England warm up game isn't.

Leeds will also sell twice as many tickets as the ground the England v France game will hold.
And according to wiki less than France got in france against both Samoa and NZ 2 years ago, less than they got against Wales in 2012, less than they got against Scotland in 2011, less than they got against England in 2011, less than they got against Wales and Ireland in 2010. |

| Quote: Him "Agree with that. The language barrier is areal disincentive to young French moving over here.
But I'd still introduce salary cap benefits for clubs signing French players in an effort to encourage clubs to sign more of them. If there were some method of ensuring Catalans weren't significantly disadvantaged by the rule.'"
lets be realistic though, there is one pro youth development pathway in france, we are always going to be massively limiting the pool of those coming through by expecting them to come over.
We simply arent going to get vast numbers coming over at 16/17/18 and the few who would be able to come over at 19/20 are going to be years behind their cohort. |

I agree but we don't need vast numbers, another 5-10 on top of what Catalans themselves develop would be a start. |

The introduction of Toulouse and hopefully their progression should help with player pool.
Without doing any research, I'm guessing next season will see the largest number of French players at SL/NRL clubs. It seems to be getting better |

Should be easy for you gimp,Eurostar to London ,London to Manchester, Manchester to Atherton ,582 bus to Leigh takes 10 mins then 5 min walk from bus station to ground,so what's stopping you ?next time we build a new ground we shall makes sure it links to the channel tunnel |
