money.
strength of the pound means they make more in england
ive got little doubt it would get 20,000 if at kogarah.
its also a reflection that aussie clubs at home are too strong |

a Dragons playoff game couldn't draw that, what makes you think a pre season "friendly" would. |

its still worth more than double the aussie.
so basically double the revenue given similar ticket prices eg 20 pounds vs 20 aussie dollars. |

With the exchange rate taken into account entry into grounds in similar, infact the 55 bucks I spent at brookvale is the most expensive I've spent for a entry into a league game. |

| Quote: MickeyMo "I'll second that. I was there with a load of lads from rugby (playing days) and one of the few times, as a Saints fan, that I've been cheering for Wigan. Fantastic game at a packed Central Park. All points from the boot if I recall, but there the similarities to a game of Union ended.'"
Well said.
This game is often cited as the best example of a great rugby league game in which no tries were scored... and with some justification.
Super match. |

Many Australians* like to reserve the right to whine about it when the NRL sides get beaten.
* unlike mackenzie, I am one. |

But why wouldn't they rotate it? |

Who knows?
I was at ANZ Stadium in 1994 with over 54,000 in the ground for Brisbane v Wigan.
Another example of my comments re- Super League War and its effect on international RL.

saints have just won their first comp. in 31 years.
as a result of this they will have higher crowds next year. |

there was talk of hosting it in dubai but with the GFC thats probably not viable
anyway id have it :
NRL top 4 vs SL top 4 being
NRL1 vs SL4 in australia
SL1 vs NL4 in england
NRL2 vs SL3 in aus
SL 2 vs NRL 4 in england
knock out to semis, each winner getting home advantage
grand final home and away, winner on aggregate
