Yes mate i belive it was a great game and i missed it as i was at tenerife airport but the game on sat will be ok if we score 1st and get the full house signs up, i saw the england v france game the nite before we was awfull so we cant get any worse.

You could tell by the amount of discarded yellow and green bobble hats all the way to the tube - then the sound of bull all the way into London - then the screams of we would have won if we'd had an aussie ref

His wit is sharper than a Grey Nurse going through an Ocker surfers leg.

Don't worry yourself. The JJB has pretty much sold out for every International in the past decade.

They were free.

I used mine to charm a rather attractive Pommie medical student sheila into the sack who had come to watch some decent footy.

Despite living in Barnes she is originally from Leeds.

I know being a Pom AND having to come from Leeds is not her fault though.

Every time I try and get tickets online at the RFL site the bloody thing crashes.

..............have you let her go yet?

Last time I went to wigan was with an aussie mate, which was bad enough cos we lost, but it took a bl00dy hour to get out of the car park.

Why didn't you drive instead?

Doohhh

This was a pic I took from her window as she disappeared towards Hammersmith

She escaped whilst I got out of bed to change over her INXS cd for a Men at Work one

How bad are you in bed to make her run away from her own place?

Then get the train and go on the lash



Given the undoubted difficulties of actually getting hold of tickets this week when considering the postal strikes, it's going to be a very handy excuse for what I fear is going to be thousands of empty seats



Still, if at least the atmosphere is better than Friday night and people actually get behind England instead of their own club's players, then I'll be happy.

Now that is a good idea.

That car park is always bad to get out of by car.

One of the locals told us to hang on for 15 mins or so because they open some back gates to let the coaches out and it saves you having to queue and go the long way.

And by god he was right

Can't be any worse than the coach car park at the Keepmoat anyroad, took us 45 minutes or so to get off the mudflats and on towards the M18, only for it to be shut and force a U-turn through Doncaster!

Well i've booked 50 tickets and am running a trip from Hull, so I think i've done my bit for the cause

MattyB has told me its not safe for me in Wigan. Is it safe for me in any rugby league town or city other than my own?

Where did I say I wanted England to lose you moron and who are the 2 great sides you are speaking of, Australia and....... ?

define loads. 5-10K left? or more. anything under 20K would be shameful

i cant go to any of the group games due to being a poor student, but im booked in for the final and hoping the postal strikes doesnt screw up the tickets getting sent!

It’ll be a sad day for the sport when we can’t fill a rugby league stadium for the biggest international fixture when just less than a week earlier the exhibition regular round NRL football match got how many in Wembley?

Its a football stadium

indeed. the question a half empty stadium poses to the RFl is why? is it the fear of inevitable loss to Roo's, ticket prices, too long a season or something else.

I think and hope it will be 22-24K.

You can still buy 20 tickets together in the cheapest price category directly behind the sticks. Tickets are still available in every single block of the stadium.
