Wishful thinking.

England v Fiji was only £10 a ticket for a warm-up match at Salford, only about 6k there, next year's challenge cup final tickets have early bird offers on, it won't sell out either, cheaper tickets don't always equal bigger crowds. Even the last major international at the kcom back in 2018 only had 17.5k there

Not great. Difficult to sell a festival of RL vibe in an English October as well, especially given that a few countries don’t have meaningful numbers of fans willing to dress up in telegenic, nationally representative costume.
Hopefully things will pick up from a sporting perspective in the knockout stages.

| So it's NZ-Fiji as expected and while Fiji look error prone it should be more of a contest than what we have seen so far.
Hope the City turns up for this game, despite the stupid price of the half way line seats there are still £25 seats available and worth remembering that it's been £31 on the day to watch the dross Hull have served up in recent years. I fear if it's another poor crowd the MKM will be off the list for internationals for a while.

The Semis should be good, this tournament needs a top class game as agree its been very weak so far.

Been some great trys
Close games don't always make good games alot are tense scrappy knock on riddled
Just looked at the rugby yawnion internationals NZ put 50 past Wales
Italy beat samoa 49-17
Hardly close teams much experienced than some international RL teams
Hammerings happen in every sport always will

I actually agree with you.Found most of it boring
Whats the point of having a World Cup when all the games except Tonga/Papua up to the semi finals are blowouts.
If England keep playing like they are the up and coming semi could also be a blow out, so what we could end up with is three competitive games in the whole competition,with the semi Australia and NZ and the final.
Certainly needs a rethink.Maybe just have three graded groups so the group stages are more competitive.That would also mean issuing very cheap tickets with free tickets for kids for group 3

Yes the organisors have been over ambitious.
In 2013 there were two strong groups of four and two weaker groups of three (groups C and D had one inter-group game)
Aus/Eng/Fiji/Ire
NZ/Samoa/Fra/PNG
Tonga/Sco/Italy
USA/Cook Is/Wales
Only four 50+ scores in the whole tournament and good attendances.

I thought Fiji was very badly done to, with that video call.
For my money it was simply a loose carry
