Our marketing is not fit to lace their boots. Plus all the Union supporters are down there. I would be much more confident if it was Old Trafford we were trying to fill, but I am happy we are taking international RL back to Wembley.

The ashes tours and world cups of the 90's should have been the start of something big for RL in this country, we need to get back to those times.

I doubt you would be able to use OT as a double header.

i doubt we'll be able to play on OT twice in 2months...lets alone twice in a afternoon

Hear is for I would have it.

First game 1:45 pm, Second Game at 4:15pm with a good amount of enteraintment. Not mascot games.

Top tier £10/5

Bottom tier £15/7.50

Middle tier - Give Club wembley holders the offer of a free ticket. If at a certain date they do not take this offer up then these tickets go to a selection of top companies for aiming at potenial sponsors and not to the likes of Franks bathrooms of Leigh. With any left over going to Charities and competitions.

I would also take a large section of seating for families and families only not coach loads of lads.

As well this I would have a start prize. Saracans did this with there wembley games and got slpashed all over the news when the guy won. So the competition had a major sponsor and not Leeds met or Northern rail. Someone global like Ford (they could give a car away)

I'll go for......

1st Game 4pm - BBC
2nd Game 6pm - SKY

All tickets £10/£5

Middle tier - Club wembley.....
You've no chance at all in trying to change them, members already have 'free' tickets for those seats, they've paid £10,000 for the privilege !!!

Subsidised coach travel from RL clubs might help the uptake but essentially its going to be down to the fans....

club wembley seats can be resold for this event

Its not about Franks bathrooms, its about these 30000 kids playing the game, getting them and their parents into Wembley for the event/occassion. 30000 paying and 30000 targets done correctly will be a great achievement, sell them via their clubs/schools with transport laid on for a tenner, banners showing their club/school etc
Franks bathrooms already sponsor Leigh and all Leigh ST holders get a 15% discount off a full suite, Widnes fans get a bar of soap

The RFL have to get their finger out with getting tickets on sale ASAP so that people can get cheap train fares and book them now in advance. As soon as dates and times are available i'll post any ticket that fans want from any area using the computers at work.

you can't book train tickets more than 12weeks in advance anyway..


booked my hotel and looked at booking national express coach down to london (£26) though

Not always the case if there are events on Spud.

well i've never been able to book a train do to london for the challenge cup weekend sooner than 12wks out..cos i always book on the 1st available day lol

Wembley always makes the headlines in the papers with it being the national stadium, so the two games will get far more coverage than they would do normally.

Lets fill the place, make some noise about it being filled and then build on that success for the 2013 World Cup.


How much does it cost to charter a train? Run a couple from Manchester and Leeds, and reach out to absolutely everyone that has ever expressed an interest in the sport before. Affordable tickets and affordable travel are the two key elements to having 90 000 rather than 40 000 people there. Someone at Red Hall seems to have gotten their act together recently so hopefully this will be sorted and the Wembley Double Header will be a success.

Why would Wrexham be the obvious choice? Crowds have dipped since Crusaders moved up north, though I suppose your notion is so it's easier for M62 fans to get to. Judging by the crowds of recent internationals, I doubt many will be bothering to travel the (small) extra journey.

If you think playing England isn't a crowd builder, then look at 2009. Wales-England drew just under 7,000 at Bridgend, with no marketing, a crumbling stadium and a friendly game. They only drew just over 1,000 against Scotland, in the Euro Cup final, a game with much more riding on it.

Now playing England in a top class stadium, four nations game (market it as RL's Six Nations to the taffs), and also build it as something like 'Come and see Gareth Thomas for the final time in Cardiff,' and I don't see why they can't get 25,000 for it.

Do you think Welsh people are that stupid that they don't know there is a difference between the concept of 6 strong RU nations playing in a tournament and 2 stong, 1 not so strong and 1 team of also rans put in to make the numbers up in a competition called the Rugby League 4 nations?

dont feed the troll

It's ok, I'm not Welsh so it doesn't bother me.
