| Not named as one of the venues, we seem to have fallen behind Limerick and Bristol. Good luck to them, but it seems to have thrown away the investment of a few weeks ago.

| I can only assume we'll get a semi final, possibly both, at Wembley.
Did Limerick really get 3,000 spectators for an RL game? Who on earth was playing?!

| Seems a bizarre decision. I'd have thought a group game such as Australia v Fiji or NZ v Samoa might have been well attended in London with the amount of them about!

| Just Trust that we are going to be completely ignored and get at least get one of the semi's or even the final at Wembley.
St Helens are disappointed they have only got a group game, when Warrington have only of the quarter finals, but it seems that St Helens may have just applied while Warrington and the local council worked so hard and even with a smaller ground than Saints 13,000 to 18,000 they got it!

That will be 15.5k when the time comes.

Yeah can only assume, but did anyone from our club actually bother to tender a bid to host a game or work as a host venue?

| So strange to see this, especially given the amount of Aussies/Kiwis living here. They'd see a large turnout for one of their matches. Also would have been good to see an England game here, to continue the momentum of Wembley.

Not what I said. I said that Warrington applied first, with Wigan after and Saints last of all (from the three under discussion). I also talked about marketing. St Helens Council and Saints did squat to market the bid either before or after it was submitted whereas Warrington worked hard to market it as I found out when I worked for a while in Warrington. Warrington have two games - a group and a quarter - and they are also being used as a base. Saints got a group game only. I suggested - but it was only my suggestion - that we didn't meet the 'enthusiasm' criterion, that is the Council and Club did naff all to promote interest in our local community for the RLWC. That was the case too. They did naff all. So IMO Warrington deserved the two game award and we didn't.
As for London not getting any games, this seems a bit bizarre but the RFL have come out defensive saying that they have 'learned the lessons' from the last world cup. Did something go wrong in London in 2000? I wasn't a follower of League back then so I don't know. Did your local authority put in a bid? Or are you guys thinking more of a date at Wembley?

| Just checked and the only London game in 2000 was at Twickenham and it had the biggest crowd after the final.

| Semi-finals should be at the Etihad Stadium and Elland Road. Final should definitely be at Wembley Stadium.

| Elland Road is a dreadful ground. It's in a slum area of the city and you need to be the size of an average primary school child to fit into the seats in the big stand.

Calm Down! I was not quoting from you as a source, it came from a journalist mate, and it is much the same as what you say the St Helens Council and Saints did not put the same effort and determination in as Warrington!

| Had been kinda hoping for one of the Ireland games in London, perhaps at the Stoop. Really hope the final is at Wembley or they put on some kind of double header there to open the World Cup.

| find it odd if london is overlooked, espacially after the success of the aus v kiwi game at the stoop a couple of years ago. however, it seems that the millenium is going to get the opening games, and old trafford the final. semi's won't be big enough to take to wembley, and too big for the stoop, so unless they go to a football ground, which i can't see, it seems like london are indeed missing out. something should have definitely been at the stoop though. interesting choices again by the rfl

| I thought no London venues, or London as a city, had applied for a game in the World Cup. No application, no games.
I'd love to see a Semi, and especially a double header like the 4 Nations. But again if they didn't ask they won't get! :S
