Ive just booked mine already

family room in the closest hotel to the ground (200 metres) Premier Inn which is connected to the nearby westfield centre. £250 two nights 2 adults 2 kids with breakfast


On the venues and dates I say Id be disappointed if we are not getting 95% attendances for all games

In an earlier thread I said the second game needs to be at Wembly and ride on the back of the NFL and RU world cup - Many people slated given wed only likely get 40k


Im actually much happier with this venue, even if we only get 40k it will still look pretty full - I think with a little bit of acute marketing 50k or close to full should be the aim, again ride on the back of what's just happened prior in terms of the - I also think the nostalgia of a new venue will entice some and it being the Olympic Stadium even more

Game 1 the day after the RU final is a good call avoiding any clash - Hull should be a sell out the emotion of the anniversary factor to help

I was a fearing a game could be at leigh or Salford but Wigan is a good call for the last - If its all over by then and the game isn't selling great at least were still gonna hit a decent figure 15 - 20k n if its all on theres no way on earth to see why it wont be a sell out

We should be aiming to 100k total attendance


But overall the RFL in my opinion have got this one right very much looking forward to it

It's a good call, what I'm not sure about is why we have announced it, but then you can only buy tickets, in a weeks time??

You would think on the morning it is announced then you would be pushing the tickets then and there, you have the headlines, get the phone number and website up whilst it;s fresh.

But maybe that's just me.

1st "lilly livered" set of excuses.

It's cheaper to watch with HD TV and surround sound.

England currently are not as good as the Kiwis.

I decide how to spend my leisure time.

good enough?

No not good enough.

You are a very selfish person, and your behaviour regarding attending matches belies your name.

Probably on the back of many RL fans wanting to spend no more than a tenner on a ticket so wait and wait until nearer the time to see what discount/offers/groupon will come up.

Problem with the coaches is that there is no coach parking at the Olympic venue aside from 20 spaces at the 'Here East' and drop off bays at the velo park/copper box arena etc and 20 bays that you need to register and book in advance at the Westfield. Car parking is a none starter in the Westfield as they control the parking system there for event days though a lot of the on street parking for residents is only controlled Mon-Fri on the North/NE & East side of the park though there are a few with Saturday permit holders until 2pm unless you pay (for up to 2 hours) then it's all good after that.

As a suvverner I took 12 folks from my local to the Wembley semi and they loved it. Aiming to get them all to Stratford and a few more.
