Looking at the draw I didn't realise there's a chance we might play our quarter final at Wrexham if we win the group!

Took advantage of a couple of offers this weekend, already had Opening Ceremony and Final tickets.

Add to that tickets to NZ vs Samoa, the two England Games in Hull and Hudds, the game in Halifax, and the double header at Wembley.

Also used the 'Leeds' offer and got tickets to NZ vs PNG and the quarter final at Headingley.

94 days and counting i believe.

Good old RFL (or whoever has decided) planning that we will lose our first round game to the Aussies! Shows a lot of faith in the team

#RLMeltdown

Yes its bad planning. They should have said that England would play their QF at Wigan regardless of group position, just as in 2008 the organisers said Australia would play theirs in Sydney regardless.

don't think it would be that bad, even if the ground is dated...a Wales-England game there would be a 10K sell out, and I think the atmosphere would be good. Not sure we'd get a massively bigger crowd elsewhere with just a week to sell tickets between the group stages and Quarter Finals.

Had both a text and an e-mail from Orange about World Cup hospitality packages today...been a customer of Orange for years and can't recall them having RL offers before...good move to promote the game to new audiences.

A guy who sits opposite me at work had the same text and he thought it sounded a very good deal. That's pretty promising considering he's a guy who openly admits he watches football and football alone.

I doubt he will go to any games but if them texts land with 'sports' fans I'm sure they'll go well. My first sport is rugby league but I love pretty much all sports and a text like that about a big sporting event would get me interested.

Great work getting Orange on board.

10k tickets now sold for game at Avignon, think France should have been given the third game too, maybe Toulouse.

If England do play the quarter at Wrexham i'd happily go there, think that place looks amazing when it's full, look at the Crusaders v Leeds game the other year.

The only problem with Wrexham is that closed terrace .. brings the whole place down

What is the deal with that? Safety thing? I could swear it was open when Crusaders played their first game.

No, apparently it was closed long before the Crusaders arrived.

I stand corrected.

Ray French has got tickets for Wales v France at Wembley in the opening game

Ray French needs binning before the world cup.
