of the 30-40,000 fans on the door step - they must have known. Virtually every person that has bought a ticket from RFL for internationals GF's etc would have received something in the post and emailed. In last couple of weeks the Sky games have had the game on the pitch advertised.
No excuses really especially at bargain price of tenner.
Will Leigh be looked at again for staging such high profile games in near future ? Look at Donny for the last time we played France there.

I really dont think thats completely true.
Sure a lot of rugby league fans dont like football and vice versa but im sure a lot like both too.
But the world cup is an entirely different proposition. Especially when England are playing - a great deal of people dont support a club/watch football on tv but watch England.

I here the RFL are thrilled thus far about how things are going for the International after attending a press conferance today.

Mr Lewis when asked about the choice of venue said he was initially shocked to find the pitch 'in such a rough state' , however one of his advisors pointed out the ground had actually moved further up the bypass which he said was a 'big shock, but a nice surprise to find Salfords new ground built so quickly'.
He said he then went into ASDA to sign autographs and was thrilled to see the superstore selling a whole host of flags & hats, Chairs, Beer Glasses etc, etc , he was quoted as saying "Its great to see such a big superstore stocking up on England items just for the RL International".

When asked about the problems of going head to head with the biggest sporting tournament in the world he replied that "we are not going head to head with the biggest tournament, if you look at whats on SKY TV you'll notice we are only up against the NFL Magazine programme and some motorsport show"

anyone know if you can pay on the day?

the ticket office will be open yes, but it is 50% dearer (I think) 01942 487887 for details.

Never understood why LSV doesn't let you pay at the turnstyle...

North stand will be pay turnstyles.
The flash car park will be £3, as the LSV have had to hire it to use it.

I can see it now big queues at the ticket gate no frigger at the cash turnstile. Why oh why do they do this,



get your act together LSV, either make all games pay on gate or stick to the all ticket.

It is also RESERVED seating on saturday, you must sit in the seat allocated on your ticket!

And... GB v NZ masters will curtain raise, KO 3-15. Turnstyles open at 3.
