Fantastic news well done to all involved.

A massive well done to everyone involved at the club and at the council. We have beaten off some stiff opposition so very well done.

I hope you all behave yourselves in fron of overseas visitors.Sorry,sorry ,only joking ,Well done Warrington

Was at the town hall for the World cup ball being presented to terry o'neil from nigel wood and he said that Warrington had the strongest bid that is why we got a group game and a 1/4 final match and also the home of one country !
So for me it was awsome

Very worth while giving up tim to be a part of it can not wait for 2013 going to be amazing

Very pleased to hear this news, will be looking forward to taking in the Internationals at the HJ

Seem's St Helens fans are not happy with Warrington recieving 2 games in the RLWC2013 -

"forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=514410"

Although "Saintsfan" makes some credible posts, and his points are also backed up - not bad for a Saints fan..

Overall I think Warrington deserve the 2 games - our club and council and people of the town have done everything they can to show support and get the games over here - its a fantastic reward!

The council backed the bid and we got two games out of it, good bid, good result, end of story.

I bet the crowds for these games are about half what would come to watch a Warrington match.

Still it is good to be able to say we have hosted international fixtures at a World Cup.

I think they have the potential to be well supported, the signs are already that the organisation of this World Cup is better than anything we have seen previously.

I'd expect some decent offers, and with the quality stadia being used, I'd hope for some good crowds.

Warrington should really be aiming to get 10k plus for whatever the group game is and a sellout for the qf. They should be realistic aims.

What if the group game is USA vs Cook Islands?

Or Tonga vs Italy?

Or Fiji vs Ireland?

Over 10k would be a ridiculous target for any of the above, and indeed several other scheduled fixtures. Unless Australia, England or NZ are involved, an attendance of 5k would be a good turnout.

We shouldn't have a target of 5k, that is ridiculously low.

These games should still be looking to attract 10k, no matter how difficult that may be.

Fiji vs Ireland would be a very attractive fixture in my eyes.

Have you got 9999 mates?

10000 punters for those sort of games is never going to happen. Unless they give the tickets away. And even then I wouldn't guarantee it.
