Sorry....but anything less than 90k will be a disaster......I know the debenture seats can't be helped, but any swathes of empty seats will be horrible.
I am all for a tenner a ticket to fill Wembley, but no matter what the RFL do, there really is only one group of people who can assure the place gets filled.......the RL community itself. |

Well it depends how much the prawn sandwich seats are. 15,000 of them! No way can we will all those.
So anything less than 90k will not be a disaster. I hope it does sell-out but I am being realistic about the RL community can afford.
The 40k thing was in reference to RU. Anything less than 80k will look pretty bad for a huge international really. I think it will be more liked 60k though.
Even if it is abit of a flop we must stick with it because if we do then it will become the home of international RL and people will get used to making the trip down for an international fixture. |

40,000 would be good enough for me
clearly a test foe the RLWC - if the quad nations draws well either the opening game or final will be at wembley which is something i agree with
i remember my good friend OD suggesting this very thing last year and many posters deriding him for it ....turns out he was spot on the money

when was the last time anyone,australian or english, got 90k for a game?? let alone a international!
as long as we set a new tri/4nations attendance record i'll be happy..that record being 44,385 for the game between aus & GB at suncorp in 2006...we should easily top that. |

Several people have mentioned the club wembley seats. My understanding was that the club wembley seats covered several events (of which 1 rl game is included) plus PRIORITY for other events. So, given the challenge cup is the one RL event, surely any seats not taken by the club wembley holders for the double header by the deadline can be sold to other folk.

Double headers don't really work in my humble opinion.
You generally pay to see YOUR team not 3 others.
Far more sensible to have had NZ V Australia at Loftus Rd or the Stoop and England v Wales at the DW. |

One thing the RFL need to sort out if it is to be a double header is.
Food and drinks at wembley its a total rip off. So to keep people in the ground for both games they need to work with the stadium company to do some deals.

That is correct but the point I was making is that those facilities and seats (16k of them) will have to be more expensive than the rest. Loads of the seats are underneath boxes etc. and hospitaility comes with them, they have arms on them and they are all padded for comfort. No way will we have a chance of selling 16k seats of that quality. They will be too expensive. If the RFL have any sense at all then they will be contacting all the businesses in every RL town and offering discounted hospitality and do their best to sell those 'posh' seats.
It would look pretty decent if we will the bottom tier and most of the second one.
I would be very shocked if we beat the international attendance record but that would be awesome.....
I very much doubt we will break the Wembley attendance record we can dream though.
Capacity by tiers...
Lower tier: 34,303
Middle tier: 16,532
Upper tier: 39,165
Lets hope we can at least pack that bottom tier and make it a great atmosphere. |

| Absolutely fantastic news!!! Been waiting 6 years to see an International again!! 
Obviously though, dissapointing that Wales miss out on a home game, but hopefully Wales v England is in Cardiff, as that'll be their biggest seller by a mile.
This is the last chance before the World Cup too, so we've gotta make it work, to show that huge stadiums should be used for internationals and that rugby league can have an international presence. |

Yes?
I'm guessing you would rather have it played at Leigh in front of 6-8,000 people? I don't see why we couldn't fill out Cardiff City's ground for a Wales-England clash. They are enough English-hating South Welshman to fill it 5-times over. We just need to market it properly and turn it into an event.
Wales football struggle to find 20,000 regular attendees, however when they play England that goes out the window, as they filled the Millenium Stadium two weeks ago. |

There are enough English hating South Welsh people to fill the Millennium Stadium, Wembley and Old Trafford 5 times over.
However there are only a small amount of those same South Welsh folk who can be bothered with Rugby League.
Football is a pretty poor comparison as people will go along because they are guaranteed a good highly charged atmosphere which sadly RL doesnt always provide.
If the game HAS to be played in Wales then Wrexham is the obvious choice. |

Depends on who is marketing it......
Example.....Start of the season...7 games over 2 days in a state of the art stadium get's 30,219 a day...so 60,438 all told. That is about 250 less per game than a normal round of ESL.
Example II....Start of the season..2 games over 1 afternoon in a state of the art stadium gets 75,112 all told....Saracens v Irish got 7,013......Quins v Wasps 14,282......average 10,650...some way behind 37,556 per game.
Example III...Mid season, 1 game in a SOTA stadium........74,212 With the corresponsing fixture getting 8,776......hmmmm
....the RFL can nearly fill Wembley for an international the same way the Union lot nearly fill Twickenham for club games...but it will take a monumental effort and some real marketing spend! IMO that is |
