England vs. Australia back at Wembley - can't tell you how chuffed I am, this has made my weekend

Really hope it's true

Precisely Jonny.

'If we are lucky'


It's wishful thinking to say it would be 45,000. Hopefully it would be but I'd still take a combined 'JJB' or Loftus/Stoop to beat the double header total at Wembley.

Okay Baz. I'll make you a £100 charity bet that if the double header goes ahead more than 45000 turn up.

Chuffed with the ambition. The aim has to be to fill the bottom tier with really cheap tickets!

I still don't understand why the RFL don't do a 'tournament ticket' which gets you into all the games.

Why do you keep calling me Baz???!

My name is DAVE!!!

Alright Baz.

Good idea. I'd buy one today and book the shifts off now if they did that. At least the RFL have shown they have ambition, reasonable ticket prices and match times and a bit of promo and I can see a big crowd on.

How much are the tickets jonny?

I don't know. Do you?

I thought you meant when you posted about the RFL showing they have ambition and 'reasonable ticket prices' that you already knew the pricing structure Jonny.

Sorry.


What would you consider a reasonable price for a ticket to this game Jonny?

I would suggest £15 for a cheap seat seeing as they will have problems selling many.

No, what I was trying to say was if they use reasonable ticket prices, match times and promotion-it will be a success. I'd forgotten you don't read posts properly.

I'd agree £15 seems reasonable, i'd drop concessions prices right down though and get schools down to Wembley like we did in 1995 for the RLWC.

Just re-read it now jonny and it looks like it was just a case of you putting a comma in where it would have been more suitable to use a full stop after 'Ambition' and then possibly a new paragraph. It would have made a bit more sense then.

I will take more care reading your posts in the future.

Offer the cubs buy 7 get 3 free. That way clubs make money from selling them and will work hard to prmot ethem. A club could make 100k+ if they work hard.

That's a belting idea.

That would be because for example a New Zealand fan living in London would probably have no interest whatsoever in watching Wales v England play in the north of England somewhere.

If they did a 'tournament ticket', you don't have to buy one Barry. You can still buy a single ticket for one game.

People travelling by train will find it harder to get back to the north with an evening kickoff.

Yes Jonny I realise that.

But given flatcappers don't like to travel much further south than Warrington and the Antipodeans in London don't travel further north than Watford there seems little point.

The amount of people that would buy one would be tiny.

I hope when they sell the tickets, they try and group the NZ, Aussie and Welsh fans together to give a bit more atmosphere. I remember the GB-Australia game at Eastlands had all the Australia fans in the corner together and they made a hell of a racket because they were all in a block.

jonnytheleyther works for British Rail. Ok it's only pushing a buffet trolley but maybe he could have a word with someone about running a late train?


Fair point though.

all 30 of them?

I'd say there were a few hundred, all together, all in yellow.

Were you there?

Who do you support?

Why arn't you at a game today?

I went to the wendyball last week Wales v England and it was nice to see that it was packed out with families for what is a high risk game. They did it with this www.faw.org.uk/news/2088 and reducing prices. I paid £15 to watch this.

Here's a radical idea, London have these things called hotels.

Some of us students don't fancy forking out an extra £40 for a hotel though, that's a month's food for me.



If the RFL wants people to take it seriously, it needs to be an afternoon kickoff IMO, there's no point having the thing finish at 10pm at a weekend if half the crowd can't get home because there's no trains.
