Looking at the list of fixtures, PNG V Samoa would indeed seem sensible for Craven Park, with the local links to PNG (although maybe we're putting too much emphasis on that?) either that or maybe Tonga v Cook Islands.

Really hope the KC gets a good one. Not sure which one I want the KC to get.

And like someone said on another forum, hopefully they make it affordable to the average fan to get to several games.

Would like to take in some more venues.

Could be some thing to do with always having to traval to our Finals, Headinley,'Main Road ,Elland Road and Wembley .
Some of these to play teams less than 20 miles away from the venue.

Even for local Derby's this for over a 100 years

sure is, its a travesty.....

Final will be Old Trafford and semi should be a double header at Wembley hopefully. Quarter final venues already decided so looks like it will only be a pool game at the KC. If that happens to be a big game all the better. I heard them banging on the radio that the KC would deffo sell out a quarter final game - why would that be the case the last world cup quarters had 3 crowds of 5,000 and 15,000 for the England game? And the England v NZ 4 nations game didn't actually sell out? We do pretty well as far as the 4 nations goes so I will take that and an Exiles game.

Wembley double header would be financial suicide. 40000 max at £10 a ticket as opposed to 50000 at Galpharm / KC / JJB etc over two days at a minimum of £20 on average per ticket. More if they used a Manchester City's ground or other northern football ground.
I am fiercely pro the game in London but we need full stadia for the semis and the final.

Remember Wigans owner saying they told rfl not to give them a pool match as they wanted at least a quarter or semifinal game. Hence they didnt bid for a pool match and they will be given a top game.
