Its at times like these i love having a friend whos company holds a box a wembley but has no interest in rugby league, life is good to me

Excellent idea.

Playing international matches in London really helps the profile of the game. A double header should go a long way towards getting a full house. Let's hope the RFL and clubs support this with ticket distribution and travel arrangements (charter a train or two from Mcr and Leeds?).

Needs to be promoted in Ldn to the Aussies and Kiwis also.

It's a charity bet Baz. You're not giving your many millions to William Hill, just a charity of your choice.

And yes someone said that, as i've told you many many times, read things properly......

90,000 tickets.....should get 20,000 ANZACS so 70,000 from the 13 UK based SL clubs......5k each. Quins, Salford may struggle, but the rest should easily do it....pay the clubs commission on ticket sales, £20 a pop, no problem.....

........and make sure HKA fans get to sit with their aussie mates

how about using the "kids go free" scheme?


£20 or £15? adults & kids free

Great idea-I would certainly go.

The Aus/NZ game a couple of seasons back at the Stoop didnt get the full house you would have expected. Maybe a bigger marketing push around Shepherds Bush is required

20000 ANZACS would be amazing. You really think that's possible? 70k from 13 SL clubs as well as all the other divisions too. I think it's definatley achievable.

iirc not all of the stoop was open anyway?

Yep.....if the RFL are prepared to spend a few quid....marketing in TNT magazine etc......can be done.



It is.....it will need the clubs to get involved, organise coaches etc.....but it can be done!

Dont worry Wales have been playing internationals since 1907. And also won the right to be in this.

Forgive my ignorance-TNT magazine?

I agree, it can be done, and if it is it will be a big shot in the arm before the World Cup too.

When you say historically insignificant do mean history or the stuff that you remember? – both England and Wales have huge historical significance in international Rugby League (Wales were one of two teams alongside New Zealand in what is now generally considered the first ever full RL international played on the 1st of January 190icon_cool.gif

and england where formed in 1904 to play that other team no historical insignificance 'the other nationalities' (exiles)

Good work Rfl

It would involve an overnight stay. If it is a 3pm ko, you could watch it and then head back north.

if it's a double header, it's four hours long - the day will either start very early , finish very late or hotels will be involved

who gives a stuff? if you get a chance to watch England walk out at wembley you should grab it, you might have to wait another 15 years!

It would be ideal for most people(I imagine)if it was afternoon kick offs.

I went to work last night and a few of my work colleagues where getting exited about the possibility of us going down to Wembley but all in agreement that it has to be a Saturday afternoon kick off,hopefully the RFL can provide this.

I'll go - if they give us a franchise! If not, the RFL can boll ucks, I hope they get 3000

you won't be going then.....see ya in the lower leagues...its not the RFL's fault you've not progressed

I always said the international game should be taken back to wembley.Finally they have listened..

Well done Manly4ever, us UK RL fans owe you a debt of gratitude for your persistence
