Hedingley is a semi derelict stadium with part of one stand in a condemed state and a pitch that will probably be like a sandpit It should not be used for RL world cup games in its current state.

Group games
So you need a 15k stadium for papua new guinea vs tonga? Leigh or Widnes should be fine and they hold 12k
Semis should be at DW/KC/Galpharm
Final should be in london the Ideal location being the Emirates, Wembley is too big

Its worse than Hull FC's/Wigans/Warrington/Widnes/Hudds and soon Saints and Salford's new grounds, poor effort by the best supported, most successful and highest income club
Its away end is the worst in the league, equal to Castlefords, HKR

Given that it will be an Australia v NZ final again I think the idea of holding it in London makes sense.
Twickenham stoop would be ideal. They managed to fit us all in last time.

Nooooo
Twickenham Stoop.
Home of Harlequins RL.
I'll forgive you for the confusion, I assume you have never been there
Nor has anyone else hence the nickname 'The Moon'
I only went once and that was for the Aus v NZ game

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 |

“You are playing a game of football this afternoon but more than that you are playing for England, and more even than that, you are playing for right versus wrong. You will win because you have to win. Don’t forget that message from home. England expects every one of you to do his duty.”:1230.gif |

Following the successes of past tournaments...
The big gates in 1995/2000 mean Wembley opening fixture (England vs Australia) - one game in london and the advanced sales should help it be the biggest crowd
following 2008 every game must be held at a Rugby League ground (the 10 i went to where anyway) so West Yorkshire, Humberside, Lancashire and thats it (KC, galpharm, headingley, wigan, leigh, HJ, widnes and new grounds at Cas/Wakefield/saints/salford if ready) - if Wrexham is still going well then Wales can play their group games there
Old Trafford for the final - it has to be in the heartlands and this is the best stadium up here
semis at Hull and Huddersfield
I dont think there should be games in france and definitely not in scotland or ireland
no double headers and no more than 2 games per day

France should play their home games in Catalunia. Bigger crowds, more competitive. Wales in Wrexham. Rest of the games in England. I'd go Wembley as an opener, you're right. England v Australia. Then the final at Olympic Stadium or maybe Anfield/Goodison or Elland Road?

In the 'failed' world cup 2000 NZ played Australia in the final and there were 46000 on if I remember. So why the stoop barry? Because you're wrong....again. |
