I would think that this would not include the club wembley tickets so hopefully they could be sold and then we wouldnt have that section of empty seats.

They send most of their tickets out to clubs, if a club fails to sell their allocation next time round they may have their allocation reduced or no allocation at all. Similarly tickets get sent to rugby playing schools. This may or may not be appropriate for RL based on given what happened at Quins, they done various deals including free tickets with RL playing local schools the take up was minimal.

Having said that this is a far better approach than than trying to sell tickets to uniterested antipodeans in the south east.

With londons ever growing rl playing community it might also be a way of cementing these new players interest in the game in the capital.

I'll be running a lads trip from Hull and taking a 49 seater down there. Ive already got interest for more or less a full coach load (although that could be to do with my excellent beano organising skills lol). I did a trip to the Wigan test 2 years ago and the RFL gave me a free ticket for every 9 bought. I would expect an even better offer for this event.

If its done right, this could be the biggest thing to happen to RL in this country for years.

Completely agree, if tickets go on sale early with some deals for people like yourself with kids teams and they start selling well I think the bandwagon will start rolling too.

If held in the day time say 2pm and 4pm kick off should be more feasible for people to travel down on the train for the day and get the train back same day and save money on hotel costs, if booked in advance could be fairly cheap trip to London for the day

It's because it's a stupid idea.

Just made a speculative enquiry with a local travel company about hotel and travel and if that comes off then I'll definitely be there.

I'll be there.

Thomas Cook Sport?

How hard can it be to book a cheap advance fare on a train and find a cheap hotel on any of the many 'last minute hotels' type sites?

Because the cost of the train fare alone would be more than the deal I should be able to get.

It can't be that stupid an idea Baz. 77% of fans are a 'yes'.

So far today I've been called 'Baz' 'Katie' and 'Dutoni'....... Despite me repeatedly telling people my name is 'Dave'


Maybe the same 77% that don't think Dave is my name have voted in your poll.

Would not go to this game if it was free



Utterly pointless and if someone gets injured it will be for nothing and the club that the player plays for only fans will miss out?

Aren't you thinking of the Exiles game?

Rommel once said “Don't fight a battle if you don't gain anything by winning.”

Surely it is the dream of every player to represent their country and not simply be happy to play for their hometown club.

I think the double header is unnecessary, we should be able to sell England v Australia on it's own but it might work well if the 1st game is on the BBC and the England game is on sky

Coach travel there and back should be no more than 20 each.......tickets a tenner or at most another score......beer money etc...another 60 quid (b'stard london prices)...so 100 GBP for 2 games of RL, travel there and back and a hangover...with 7 months to scrimp and save at a fiver a week.
RL fans my arris.......

...if you can think of a reason not to go you will

Is that England v Australia or Wales v New Zealand you're talking about?

Has anyone heard any more news about if and when this is happening and if tickets are going on sale soon?
