| Any games where Australia and NZ play each other should be played in London. This should not be negotiable. I doubt many Aussies or Kiwis live outside the M25 anyway. Why make us travel un necessarily?

Wembley is in London...you want England to play there... thereby in your own words making it '[ithe least accesible to most rugby league suporters[/i Sorry about the spelling, I just copied and pasted your post.

Yeah.... because England playing is a neutral game... and your point was so weak you brought spelling into it, I was replying to you and if I had any respect for your opinion i might have checked my post before submiting it

Quote: Hopie "Yeah.... because England playing is a neutral game... and your point was so weak you brought spelling into it, I was replying to you and if I had any respect for your opinion i might have checked my post before submiting it'" Why is recommending that any game where Australia and NZ play each other should be played in London (home to the vast majority of the Antipodean community) a 'weak' point?

I would too like to see the new olympic stadium used for the opening match, thus leaving Wembley for the final. Allocate 30k tickets to be distributed free amongst the local schools with specific assembley's (if they still have them) showcasing Rugby League. This will leave 60k left for general sale to the public with sensible prices and packages. Here the RFL could team up with the East Cost main line and other rail operators which could see seduced costs for travellers with a valid world cup final ticket.

NO FREE TICKETS
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Quote: Barry_McKenzie "Lets assume the final will be the usual Australia v NZ affair. Twickenham Stoop would be ideal. Checks all the right boxes for the expat community in London (apart from the lack of VB) Not many British fans would bother going unless England made the final. Twickenham (the big place...HQ as its known) would never come close to selling out an RL final sadly'" ..and we wonder why our sport is light years behind others.

Never take anything Barry says seriously. Pretty much every other post on this thread is common sense by the people that make the sport the greatest, the fans. If the RFL looked at these ideas instead of dreaming up ideas in an office, the RLWC would be brilliant in 2013. So the general consensus is that the opening game would be at Wembley. Group games at stadia around England (and France/Wales?) with sellouts being the priority using good marketing and good value ticketing. Semis at Stadia such as Wigan/KC/Galpharm and The Final at a more ambitious venue such as Wembley/Millenium/Olympic/Old Trafford? All sounds good to me!!!
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
How many of the teams are already confirmed to play in the World Cup? I'm sure it's 13 of the 14 so that allows the RFL to start planning now. If the format was decided now and the draw was done say live on tv before the England v France game or the Four Nations it wouldn't be too long after before they could start selling tickets. Rugby League internationals are notorious for being slow sellers, but if we can't shift tickets and fill 25,000 capacity stadiums in just under three years we might aswell pack it in now.
