There are 25 group games and quater final venues have been announced, how many can you get to looking at the fixtures now? Just a rough idea? I reckon I can make 12.
I'm personally going to save up and make a big effort to get to as many as possible.
Can't wait now.
List of the games/venues here:
www.internationalrugbyleague.net ... -announced
Really happy that Leigh got a Tonga game as the town has a bit of a soft spot for the Tongan players we've had over the years, I reckon Rochdale will feel the same too about getting a Fiji game. |

I wish it well, but I'm not going to any games. We know the winners will be either Australia or New Zealand now and most of the games are callable with complete accuracy now. The venues and fixtures are also very unappealing. Throw in the RFL's inability to promote anything (Look at today's farce as an example) and we'll see a repeat of the last tournament in this country. Low crowds, a financial mess and no real benefit for the sport at all.

I'm going to try and get to at least 2. Here is to hoping the cup winners wont be as predicted. I've been to several international games and enjoy the multi club atmosphere. I just hope the competition gets the promoting it deserves and at least breaks even.

I can't really see me going to Cardiff. Would have gone to Wembley again or a venue in the north.
It's a shame people aren't giving the tournament a chance already. Yes, the winner will be one of three teams (some will say only two) but it's still watching rugby league so I hope to go to a few. Hopefully there will be a multi-ticket offer to make it more tempting.

I must be one of only very few people who are excited about the world cup. I will be going to the three games in Hull plus hopefully a few others. Games like Tonga v Cook Islands on the face of it isn't a glamour tie but it will be a close hard fought game with plenty of pride showing

Don't know how many I'll get to yet, but I'm hoping to attend as many games as possible. Will need to work it out once the dates are announced etc.

Ask me again when the ticket prices are announced. If it's cheap enough, I might venture to a few games. England in Cardiff? Depends if I can get cheap rail fares.

IMO The Millenium Stadium is too big for any of the games, thew will need to cgi the stands to make them look even half full.
Probably going to 3/4 games.

I don't see it as a job. It is a passion and love that we all share. Neil Hudgell:30566.jpg |

More than likely just the two games at Craven Park and possibly the one at the KC but thats doubtful.
