League Express, which the gomper above knew but who pretended otherwise to make it look like he knew already.

No reason why it shouldn't be a sell out or close to one really and it'll be nice to go somewhere different down there.

Indeed......an exclusive that will therefore be ignored by the real press, to cries of its not fair....its a conspiracy....they hate us.....

An exclusive afterthought which is almost two months late, surely?

Thankfully, just in time to make the numerous Sporting Calendar issues of 2015.

Oh, hang on...

Get a room boys.

The questions everyone ought to be asking is...

Why isn't the national media breaking this news instead?

Why is it only an inconsequential little moonie publication which only preaches to the converted?

Is a Brighouse publication the extent of the RFL's media reach these days?

No wonder the sport is in deep trouble then.

No, the questions everyone should be asking are...

When do tickets go on sale?
Can we get revenge for the WC?

It's not in the national press as it's not been announced yet, i'm sure it will be soon enough.

BTW, the sport isn't in deep trouble. Just because you want to think is, doesn't make it true.

If the rfl had any sense they would do a deal with union and do some sort of discount on tickets for people who go to the 3/4 place ruwc game, might entice some new fans in from London if they had an excuse to go, expansion into London is what rfl want isn't it?

-wait I just realised I said rfl and sense in the same sentence, sorry everyone for that gaff! Hahaha

Quite right.
It's not like viewing figures are down
Attendances are down
participation is down
media interest is dwindling
we've signed a TV deal that was uber cheap
the top flight clubs in England are all along one road
There hasn't been a top tier international game in England for 400 days....
...it will be another 300 days or so until one is
the top division has been cut by 2 teams because of lack of finance
the top division has been cut by 2 teams due to lack of talent
The top tier is sponsored on a pay as you go basis...get utility switching!!!!

....thank god the game is in such rude health

Wow, you never cease to amaze. You claim not to be trolling and then come out with guff like that.
Same crap, different thread = Troll

PS. You forgot to mention....

Record breaking world cup
Record breaking 4N
Record breaking TV deal
New League sponsors
New CC sponsors (Ladbrokes) to be announced this week

There were no top tier internationals here last year as the 4N was held down under... and broke records.
Very similar to the last few decades really with internationals split between the Northern and Southern hemispheres every year or so

World cup momentum lost
4 nations ignored by press
Tv deal far too cheap
Sponsors of entire comp pay bases on utilities switched
Ladbrokes on same style deal as first utilities...very little cash up front
700 days between home internationals......

Healthy? Methinx not

The First Test should be at Wembley because the BBC advertising combined with vigorous RFL advertising should enable a crowd of 60,000 people if the tickets are sold at the right price.

The second Test should be at the Olympic Stadium, to get people from East London more involved in the game ...again it needs the pricing to be right.

The Third Test should be at Old Trafford or Etihad, because the impoverished M62 dwellers are entitled to see at least one Test within a train ride of home, after a full season of not having travel anywhere other than to London (for the first two Tests) or to the Papua-New Guinea colony at Newcastle on Tyne for the Magical Mystery Tour weekend.

Hope the game is at the Olympic stadium. It's too late now to schedule a game at Wembley and expect a healthy crowd but the Olympic stadium could be a shrewd move. Is the capacity around the 50k mark? I'd hope we could test that. It's a iconic stadium for people to visit and I'd like the chance to watch a game there (rugby league or another sport tbh).

Any word on the other games?

What utter rubbish! It's almost a bloody year away! Why is it too late to schedule a game at Wembley but not too late to schedule one at the Olympic Stadium?

You M62 lot are challenged by logic and very difficult to comprehend.

And that's from a guy that says he is French thanks for that pal loved your comment

Just because you keep repeating yourself over and over, doesn't make it true unfortunately.

Other 2 games are up North but no other info given.

And no way should we have 2 games in London, what a moronic comment by the faux frog.

So what precious breaking news exclusive did Moonie Express actually offer up then?

One game darn sarf? Two games oop north?

Is that it?

Wherever the games are to be staged, we should be selling tickets NOW and not still discussing where games may be staged.
It is just another example of mickey poor management at the highest level.
2 games "up north" and one in London seems most sensible, we just need to get on and sort it !

Billy. If you are so disillusioned with the way the game is run and have to snipe every time something is announced, then why do you bother commenting on RLFANS?

The site is called RLFANS which to me would mean its a forum for the fans of RL. You seem to hate RL judging by your comments, so again why do you bother commenting?

Erm, that the 2nd test is likely to be at the Olympic Stadium. No one claimed anything else did they? Hence no announcements in the media, like you were so quick to point out.

I know you're old and desperate but do try to keep up, it's not hard.

What's the rush exactly?

Granted if one game is going to be in London then a decent period of notice would be nice to sort out travel/accommodation etc, but it's not like selling tickets now is going to magically put another 10,000 on the gate, is it?

Still, if it gives the usual suspects chance to have a moan...

Hopefully this is true, the Olympic stadium is a great venue. Lots of cheap hotels, shopping, night life with great transport links.

1/Because there's a 40k difference in capacity and anything above 30-35k will look pretty respectable at the Olympic stadium but not so at Wembley.

2/Because I think there would be quite a bit of interest from people just wanting to attend a game at a new stadium and an iconic stadium rather then attending a ground we've played a cup final at for decades (that is obviously an iconic stadium also but people have been there and done that)

Two major reasons straight away for me. As for M62 logic, I've been banging the drum for a Wembley game for months but I believe we've left it too late to 'guarantee' a crowd people would see as respectable. The Olympic Stadium is less of a gamble.

Hopefully this is true, the Olympic stadium is a great venue. Lots of cheap hotels, shopping, night life with great transport links.

The only rush was one created by the rfls claim that it would be announced in November......as it is, if it is the Olympic stadium then that's a brilliant choice and id expect it to be close to full.
