Sorry to make another Exiles thread, neither am I English or from Oceania so i'm pretty neutral on the whole concept and who wins it. But do you think playing a game in London would boost Exile supporters numbers whilst also keeping the national team for England relevant in the south?

I seem to remember a good crowd for a 4 Nations game down there for NZ and Australia, The Exiles are technically both of those teams so should really target the same London crowd.

Also slightly more extreme is maybe playing a game in Wrexham; not too far to travel for English fans up north and Wales fans would turn up to see top quality players now that we dont have an Super League identity anymore and most would cheer on an Exiles victory.... maybe double it up with a Wales international. Exiles vs England as a curtain raiser maybe icon_wink.gif icon_lol.gif

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg

Why not? Their people's are representing their role in British culture as 'exiles' and more seriously their countries agains the poms.... You'd get more Australian and kiwi interest than in Leeds or whatever.

As for Wrexham you'd be very surprised, they enjoy heir league up there. Getting over a thousand people regularly for championship one games says they'd show up in bigger number along with travelling English fans to watch the best players in he country and as I said double it up with a Wales full international to please every taste.

Have it in France, include more Catalans players and have it in the middle of summer to tempt English fans to take the trip over whilst the weather is nice. Also have France vs England Knights on before the "main event".

The Aussies & Kiwk fans over here are not even bothered for watching there own team. And who in Wales is going to watch England when they are not playing Wales. You can't get huge numbers to go to saints from the North of England so who is going to drive an extra 30 miles to watch this?
