surely you'd want the two welsh games in wales and the three england games in england to maximise ticket sales? Eng v Wales in England will draw a bigger crowd than Eng v Wales in wales and I'd have thought Wales v Oz in Wales would draw more than in Leeds?

Sorry, they were the wrong way round

ah, makes sense now

A bit like my venues, which you crticised?

Think this is about right.

Wales vs New Zealand - Racecourse Ground
England vs Australia - Galpharm Stadium

Australia vs New Zealand - The Stoop
Wales vs England - Widnes/Warrington/Wigan

Wales vs Australia - South Wales sub 25K stadium
New Zealand vs England - KC Stadium

Final
third place play off
Double header
City of Manchester Stadium (we can ask)/ Elland road

City of Manchester Stadium would be perfect for the final. It's a shame they probably won't ever want us there again. Cracking stadium.

Maybe Man Utd will have us since they're skint? Just close off the upper tier of the North Stand.

Couldn't agree more with you, although I can think of a stadium not far from my house that's as nice as Widnes and Wire!

Im not so sure, the crowd would be dire in England because everyone knows it'l be a walkover, id of thought Wrexham is the best place for EngvWales game.

Millennium Stadium

what planet do some people live on its got a 74000 capacity, if the Wales games get 10000 that would be a big achievement

It is a sad little tune he plays from Bradford or wherever he is holed up...

Frankly that isn't good enough...

We had a very, very long history of using Maine Road without problems.

The COMS was built to be used by the Comm Games for Christ's sake. Sure it is Man City's home but they should share it as was originally envisaged.

The fact the club has since been bought out by a multi-billionaire doesn't change the intended usage well before he arrived on the scene...

I dont know if this still stands but the COM can only be used for so many non Man City match day events. So next year Take That have got in first and will have used all of those days.

Doesn't one of those gits (Take That) follow the game? Big help...

lol

England V Wales - Halliwell Jones Stadium
Wales V NZ - Racecourse Ground
England V Australlia - DW Stadium
England V NZ - Galpharm Stadium
Wales V Australlia - Cardiff City Stadium
Australlia V NZ - Keepmoat Stadium

Final - Anfield

Why take it down to London?

Because it's the national capital and we're a national sport and this is a competition involving the national team.

More to the point why on earth have Australia v NZ at the keepmoat stadium??!!





Apart from the final at Anfield the rest of your choices are about right

Why not? Fantastic stadium in Yorkshire, it won't look empty and will look very good full because of it's capacity of around 16k.

Where else would you play the final at? (Apart from Elland Road but I fancied a change) where it wouldn't look cringeworthy on TV with nearly half the stadium empty. These suggestions of the Millenium Stadium and Wembley are cringeworthy.

Because London is full of Antipodeans who'll watch The Kangaroos v The Kiwis.

Well... for that exact reason... it's in Yorkshire.

Virtually all the Aussies and Kiwis in the UK live in and around London.

It's a bit like playing England v Wales in Cornwall.


If people dont want to think the final will be between Australia and NZ (and dont want to have it at the Stoop) then the DW at Wigan or the Reebok at Bolton would do.

This is what i would go for

Game 1
Wales - England (keepmoat stadium)
NZ - Australia (stoop)

Game 2
England - Australia (KC stadium)
Wales - NZ (Racecourse ground)

Game 3
Wales - Australia
England - NZ
double header at the DW

Final
sheffield united FC

You have got to play England v Wales in the North West, get those Welsh fans over. I doubt many would travel to Doncaster on a Saturday night.

i dont see why not if your going to follow your country in a tournament they may never get in again they will follow them and what would have happened if it was down under there would of been some going over there

But you don't understand the 'I can't be arrsed' attitude.

well they should be look at how many crusaders fans went to fartown i think there should be a few more to a welsh international

I'd like to see Tonga, Samoa, PNG and France also over here and playing warm up games at each 4nations game. They need regular exposure and the opportunity to tour to other countries. Would add value to the tickets and provide a great day out of RL for fans. Use some of that RLIF profit to pay for it.

I'd prefer on the reform of the 4 Nations note again, to see Maybe 2 Tournaments with Tonga, Samoa, PNG, NZ and Australia in one, and England, France, Wales and Maybe Ireland/Scotland in another.
