That won't be too bad as long as it is against Wales and they open that terrace up for once! |

Cook Islands v USA
The Memorial Stadium, Bristol
With all the work Bristol put into the application process and they get this. We'll be lucky if 1,000 turn up.
It seems the RFL don't have any clarity as to where their development and expansion priorities lie. Having the biggest game of the tournament in a stadium that will has 70,000 empty seats is utterly bizarre. It seems from the fixtures that Wales is the big beneficiary and I'm not sure there is any reason for that.

My thoughts as well. They will be working out the attendance using a head count.
Two good games in East Hull for some reason. There are only 3/4 group games that appeal to me which considering I went to watch the Kiwis Vs Lebanon in Gloser is saying something about the quality of this draw. |

I don't think the schedule is TOO bad. Granted, it has minor faults (Cook Islands v USA being one stand out), but they're honouring the heritage of the game for instance, by having Rochdale play host to a Fiji game, given the large amount of Fijians that came to Rochdale in the 60s.
I also like the thought of having Ireland play the Australians in Limerick. Those Irish love a game of rugby regardless, and will turn out to see the world famous Kangaroos, not least to support their own.
They can't get everything right, the RFL, we know that much. But they've done OK here.

There is some good fixtures and choices, I can't deny that. But there's also some terrible decisions. |

I know they are trying to expand, but why are they taking a QF to Wrexham, the last experiment there failed miserably, if it was at the KC at least you would make some money.

The sad thing about this is that, as far as I can see, with the Group A runners up playing at the DW the organisers reckon we'll lose to Australia in the group match.

and they have also gambled on Wales qualifing, and playing the quarter in Wrexham.
if they dont top it there wont be a crowd there either!
at least the Shay got a biggy!  |

What's ironic is that if all these people who are so instantly critical of everything actually turned up to the RLWC games like the rest of us it would be a success.

Hosting England-Australia (the tournaments biggest crowd puller) in Wales is absolute madness. This game should have been taken to either Wembley, Old Trafford, The Emirates, City Of Manchester or dare I say it even Twickenham. I can't see thousands of fans traveling down to Wales in November for a game that will be live on TV.
I also feel Doncaster/Sheffield must feel pretty miffed at missing out when grounds like Craven Park and Whitehaven get 2 games each.

I am surprised they are playing England v.s Australia in Wales.
How many Welsh fans will be that bothered about England v.s Australia? This should have been at City of Manchester Satdium, it would have been a sell out and looked great on TV. Even if we get 40000+ at Cardiff, it will look average at best.
I really hope the final is at Wembley. Having it at Old Trafford tickets sales to the M62 corridor effectively. Get it at Wembley, showcase our sport. That is expansion, not having Cook Islands v.s USA at Bristol.
I think it's extremely tricky to get the venues right for these sort of games. Personally i'd have double hearders for the minnow games.
Glad to see games in France & Ireland
