Quote: IvDiv "I think it'll be interesting now to see how further ticket sales develop after what was such an impressive start to the World Cup Competition.
The England performance against a superior-but-yet-to-get-going side, an impressive debut from the Italians (with a not too shabby Welsh performance), the closeness of the PNG / France duel and a wonderful advert for the game (and supporters) from NZ and Samoa will surely generate more interest in filling the terraces.
I am looking forward to the Fiji vs Ireland game tonight at Spotland as there is a large Fijian community based in Rochdale so support should be good there too. After last night's match, I wish I was going.
May look at getting to the Scotland vs USA game at Salford and quite fancy USA vs Wales at Wrexham.
If others are feeling like me, maybe we could get some more full houses and a great groundswell of interest in our game which could lead to more support for the national leagues?
I'm LOVING it !'"
The RLWC website crashed last night following the game. When it eventually got back up there was a queue to get onto the tickets page. I have been trying to ring the ticket hotline this morning but there is a message saying to call back later.
The competition has got off to a brilliant start, I can't wait to set off to Rochdale in a few hours!
