It's quicker and easier for fans east of the pennines to get to MK and Coventry than it is liverpool. Theres also plenty of amatuer clubs in the vicinity of both as well as other Southern based fans that make up at least half of the tickets sold for Internationals at the big London venues so tbh 'Northerners' need not hold out for reduced tickets as per to make it worthwhile.
Anfield is outdated with crappy seating, the Anfield area itself is a complete dump in a not very nice area.
If the RFL go with Anfield for one of the big games I for one wouldn't bother attending.

Bloody hope so but I'd reckon for the sake of a few days, they'll do it after the World Club Challenge, or at least on the night of the Rhinos v Cowboys game (when they've sold all the tickets & can start plugging the next lot!).
Read the other day that despite all of the Anfield chat, Elland Road and Etihad are still favourites for the final

Cant be much longer, I think the world cup tickets went on sale about start of march so I would reckon that would be a good bet. Any of those 3 stadiums would be fine for the final, about right size to have a genuine go at filling cos international attendances are going up and whatever you might think about the bbc they have been plugging the game more; a few years ago they wouldn't have put the test series on. I for one am going to try to get to all the England game where ever they end up.

If only there was a east-to-west motorway, linking, say, Hull and Liverpool.

Oh....

The venues should have been announced and tickets made available in November following the NZ Series, right off the back off some exposure and positivity around England RL.

I'm not sure why the RFL seem to leave it so late.


World Cup Tickets should be announced at least my May to allow fans to plan their journeys over to Aus (or wherever else).

too busy sorting their mushy peas out i imagine

Haven't the dates and venues been 'nearly' confirmed yet?

Exactly how long does it take to get to Liverpool from Hull (not that i live there) on what would be an early evening travel?
I'll give you a clue, longer (time wise) and more stressful than travelling to Coventry AND MK.
If only you had any clue about travel times say like using a map or a computer or personal experience oh...

Yeah well of course I was being a bit facetious.


I have got plenty of idea about travel times; it's taken me seven hours to get to the DW from my place in the past. And I don't disagree that Coventry or MK are more accessible from the heartlands. FWIW, they would both be easier for me too.

Seats are no better than Old Trafford neither where if you're over 5'11" you can't fit in the seats.

Well neither club is made of money are they? Oh hang on!!

I've got to say the view in the vast majority of Old Trafford seats is perfectly fine, I agree about the lack of legroom though, can make for an uncomfortable time.

Man Utd used to be made of money until a certain American bought it and saddled it with hundreds of millions of debt amongst other "interesting" financial and accounting maneuvres.
And neither Liverpool nor even Man Utd can really compete with the money from Man City.

When money is pushed too much toward players wages and fees then other areas of the club infrastructure suffer, as RL found out almost to its extinction 20-30 years ago.

Still no news on this, very disappointing, how hard can it be.

I would have thought it would be some time around now, as I have said, if I remember rightly the world cup tickets were put on sale in march so that should be now RFL!!

Let me know your route from Hull to Coventry, I'm intrigued as to how you do it in 2 hours !!!
