| Weird atmosphere though. I thought the game was a very good watch, but it was strange with the crowd being so flat which made it seem a bit awkward!

Don't care if Headingly was sold out.......this is the NATIONAL team.........sub 20k is a disgrace. People wonder why RL gets less publicity than the other lot.......anyone know the last crowd for England v the Barbarians at Union?

Yes. We discussed it on the union thread. More folk turned up but events on the pitch were decidedly more boring than tonight.

Not the point though. thread was started to discuss attendance at the game.........I only suggested that playing it London next year would get a bigger gate....but there were more tries in the baba's game now you mention it

Did you watch the Barbarians game? I did and it was gash. As union folk keep telling me, it's not all about tries.
The thread started with someone stating/hoping there would be 6,500 on. There were actually more than double that amount there tonight.

| Quote: gutterfax "1. Crowd irrelevant
2. Work out what was needed.
3. Funny as that England lost.
4. If you want a decent crowd next year....play it at Craven Cottage, £15 a ticket and play it for the TNT Trophy.....as has been show tonight, English RL fans can't be bothered, but there's enough bar staff in London who'd roll up to see the poms getting whipped
Crikey...think about all those threads next year from peeps complaining they couldn't get served in their local Walkabout as all their bar staff were at the game!!

Keep it going but play it on a Saturday/Sunday have a free super league weekend and play Wales v Ireland and France v Scotland on the same weekend or as even a triple header.'"
Not a bad idea, how about instead though:
A dedicated weekend -
Ireland v Scotland
Wales v France double header at Wrexham
and
Yorkshire v Lancashire (made up of those not in the England squad but must contain primarily young players)
England v Exiles double header
Only a thought.

| Good turnout, the below should achieve 20k next year if the below is done properly, then possibly think about a move to a three game series

Warrington?
Dunno why, when there'll be a shiny new ground with greater capacity at St. Helens.

Your right about Warrington.
Only a dum would suggest moving it to a staduim with a lower capacity than last nights attendence.
