It has been fantastically well attended so far, but up 'til now all the games (except the Cardiff double header) have been at 'heartland' grounds. The real test of how well the concept has been sold to the rest of the country begins tonight, with USA v Cook Islands in Bristol. A decent crowd tonight (anything 5k or over), and the RFL can rightly congratulate themselves on a job well done!!......and if the game itself lives up to what we've seen so far it will help shift more tickets for both the LSV and Salford Stadium games next week!! If the standard, and excitement of the group games is maintained, then I can see all the qtr finals being sell outs. Old Trafford is nearly that already, and I can see Wembley going the same way!!
Now all we need is for the rest of the sport to drag the 'gang of 6' back in line, sort out the format, and lets get TGG up where it should be in the nation's hearts & minds!!
