True, but that was back in the day when Larkholme Lane was a pretty decent little ground and their side was really quality and attracting good crowds before the RFL decided they were not glamerous enough.
It's up there with the last few days of the Barley Mow these days!

Yeah... it was a leg pull with regard to Leaguefan's true love.
Always awkward when you have to explain a joke.

Aiming for Super League for 2014 according to the new chairman.
Comes across as a really good honest bloke who's in it for all the right reasons and is really approachable from a fan's point of view but this idea is a little bit

| For a World Cup we should really be looking for Olympic Stadium and Wembley as opener and closer imo. However this is Rugby League, and for whatever reason we aren't there yet, unless there is a big shift in how the UK views the sport, if at all.

| Quote: Bilko "It all depends on the actual draw but I hope they play the games at proper Rugby League venues.
Saints (new stadium), Warrington, Leigh, Wrexham, Twickenham Stoop, Widnes, Catalans, Huddersfield, Hull & Wigan's home grounds provide more than enough decent venues in the heartlands.'"
I thought the World Cup was being held in England and Wales only. An obvious problem with Huddersfield, Hull and Wigan could be the football teams that share the grounds.
The RFL could do a lot worse than have a double header at somewhere like City of Manchester (obviously depending on Manchester City) to open the tournament. To ensure good crowds the fixture list and venues need to be confirmed as early as possible and tickets should be on sale at every club game, professional and amateur for at least a year before kick off.
Quote: Bilko "Kick Off times are key as well. I hope they play the games in the afternoon rather than the evening. And if they play midweek then kick off at 7
Great idea and one full of common sense. Will the RFL think along the same lines?
I love international rugby.

| A few people have suggested Leigh as a venue for games. I know it's a modern stadium and of a good size for group matches but I think the lack of a rail link would make it too inaccessible for a World Cup game. Fans that will have travelled over here to watch games could find it a struggle to get there.

| I agree with mike that leigh has to sort something out for fans travelling from far away, me my old man and brother took an hour to get a quarter of a mile at the widnes game. The eng-france game
is going to be an eye opener with a bit of luck.

| Why do people always say double header asif it is some kind of magic word?
double headers are terrible ideas
they basically say only one of these games is worth watching, oh please come to see the other crappy game
every world cup game will be worth watching and should be sold as such
make the tickets affordable like they did in Aus too
all you suggesting lancashire venues, the aim is to get a good crowd and lancashire fans do not turn up, the results are always better in Yorkshire too!

| By 2013 there will be a new stadium in Cas, Wakefield, St Helens and Salford, so there's 4 venues, as well as the DW, Galpharm, LSV and KC. That's 8 stadiums, then Wembley or Old Trafford for the final.
Make tickets like £10/£5 and get it marketed heavily, give out flags etc in the stadium so it looks good on TV too.

| Until we actually know the format of the World Cup, there's no point in booking stadiums.
Are there going to be quarter finals? There weren't last year. Super group? What's happening, people?
Surely, with the RFL now confirming it will be 14 teams, we should know what the actual format of the cup is now. Unless they've just thought "f*ck it, we'll have this many teams and work out a system for it later..."
The Final most certainly at Wembley. The fact that it's Wembley that is so important. Some people seem to have the logic that if 60k people will go to Wembley, then the same 60k people would happily go to Emirates. It doesn't work like that.

Black Backgrounds/Zoot.gif Freedom for supporters of the government, only for members of one party - however numerous they may be - is no freedom at all. freedom is always and exclusively for one who thinks differently.

| England v Aus if on should be at Wembley Sat 3pm ko as the opener
Use the RL grounds fit for purpose for smaller group games eg Leigh, Wire, Widnes
Elland rd is a must, the Leeds public deserve that one, England semi?
