Quote ="PHIPPS"There are enough English hating South Welsh people to fill the Millennium Stadium, Wembley and Old Trafford 5 times over.
However there are only a small amount of those same South Welsh folk who can be bothered with Rugby League.
Football is a pretty poor comparison as people will go along because they are guaranteed a good highly charged atmosphere which sadly RL doesnt always provide.
If the game HAS to be played in Wales then Wrexham is the obvious choice.'"
Why would Wrexham be the obvious choice? Crowds have dipped since Crusaders moved up north, though I suppose your notion is so it's easier for M62 fans to get to. Judging by the crowds of recent internationals, I doubt many will be bothering to travel the (small) extra journey.
If you think playing England isn't a crowd builder, then look at 2009. Wales-England drew just under 7,000 at Bridgend, with no marketing, a crumbling stadium and a friendly game. They only drew just over 1,000 against Scotland, in the Euro Cup final, a game with much more riding on it.
Now playing England in a top class stadium, four nations game (market it as RL's Six Nations to the taffs), and also build it as something like 'Come and see Gareth Thomas for the final time in Cardiff,' and I don't see why they can't get 25,000 for it.
