I'd be very disappointed if there's no game at Wigan.

We'll have to wait and see

It is a joke, I like a lot of people who work shifts need to plan months ahead, it is to late for me to arange holidays for this year now so unless I am lucky enough to be rostered off I wont be able to get to any games, They seem to think that we all live in BBC land were everyone works in an office nine to five & has every weekend off. nothing more irritating when some dork on the radio starts with its Friday afternoon & the weekend starts here when you happen to be on your way to work for a twelve hour night shift. I can except venues might be a problem but they knew twelve months ago that there was going to be the 4 Nations so should have come out then with dates.

I am hoping the NZ v Aus game might be up North given that the England v Aus game is in London, it is the best game and it would be nice for us northerners to have a better chance to see it (the one before the final i mean)

Have they officially announced dates and venues yet? It said in one of the national papers on Friday that they were going to be announced on Friday.

it not friday yet is it......

Yes. It's Friday + 3 days now.

Bit bizarre this. Are we talking this season here? It's far too late to announce an international series now, half the NRL players will have booked holidays by now.

i was being flippant...


i must admit it's getting abit tight now....there must be a reason though whether it be a hold up over the venues or the fact that the RFL & ARL having been at a state of war for a few years now...there might be a hold up over budgets??

Why, there were loads of empty seats when England last played there. Glad to see a game at the KC, should be a full house. Really hope we get the double header at wembley

Why would anyone want the final at Elland Road??? Dark, dank, miserable excuse for a ground with awful tiny seats and rubbish views from many areas. Plus British/English RL has a fecking terrible record there.

CoM or OT would be great but unlikely to get either. The Reebok or DW would be good but small for a final involving England and not very central for the Yorkies, so perhaps the Galpharm.

But, it'll be another depressing trip to Elland Rd again.

To be honest I wouldn't play a game at Leigh, the RFL should have more ambition and get bums on seats, aim for Wigan or St Helens in the Lancashire area.

Also to be fair, Leigh got 9000ish and lots of people were no shows because of wendyball kicking off at the same time.

So it's still Elland Road for the Aussie v Kiwi final again then.

If you look at cricket they know the venues/dates for test matches 3 years in advance, its a joke why we cant name 5/6 venues with at least 4 months in advance as people want to book time off work or book end of season holidays,they should be named with a year before the games,take this oct the World Cup venues will be annouced.

That will because the cricket ground are used for nothing else. Where we have to fit in with everyone elses plans.

I bet we are waiting for the footie fixtures to be finalised before we can 100% confirm venues.

Another reason for why we should be looking at the possibility of our own National stadium.

Wembley?

I was under the impression that the RFL had a share in this, and lets face it how often is the damn thing used?

At least once upon a time they had greyhounds 2 or 3 times a week!!!

Because there should be a game in Lancashire and the DW is the best ground there apart from the football grounds

Couldn't even sell out an Eng vs Aus test match last time.

Why? Considering they couldn't even sell out England v Australia, by far and away the biggest game in RL, what makes them deserve another International?

leigh is hosting england v wales apparently........according to andy wilson on twitter...though his source seems alittle shakey

Shambolic if true.

its easier for me to get from oldham to wembley than it is to get to leigh

Leigh, the land that the rail network forgot.

Some "interesting" choices there. Though the choice of the Aus-NZ venue makes even Leigh seem sensible!
