Quote: Errlee Berd "WOW. Is it the same bit of woodwork you lot keep crawling out of?
England vs Australia is being played as the Opening Game at the Millenium. It's likely to attract in excess of 50,000 (which is what Standee is eluding to). Why on Earth would the KC be given this game when demand is way in excess of the KC's capacity? That doesn't make sense.
Hull have been given THREE World Cup games. That's more than any other host city.
One of those games is an England game versus some very good opposition in Fiji (who finished fourth in 200icon_cool.gif boasting some world class players. Out of all the group games (barring the opener), this one has arguably the highest profile and will be a bloody good game.'"
So do you not think we deserve Oz or NZ playing in Hull because either Leeds Wigan wire or Wrexham will be getting them in a quater final.
I really think the RL supporters in Hull deserve the chance to see at least one of the best sides in the world playing playing in the city this year.
