I wonder how many of this city's 18,000 or so regular supporters will be doing this?

| The cheapest that I have managed to get the trains is around £77.
Are there any cheaper ways that anyone knows of to be able to get to both games but still be able to enjoy a few hours in London?
If not then I'm gonna just have to go with what I've found haha

| Quote ="patto2524"So do you not think we deserve Oz or NZ playing in Hull because either Leeds Wigan wire or Wrexham will be getting them in a quater final.
I really think the RL supporters in Hull deserve the chance to see at least one of the best sides in the world playing playing in the city this year.'" You don't deserve anything if you can't sell out England vs Fiji, especially considering England vs Ireland (a lesser fixture) is pretty much already sold out at Huddersfield.

Agreed Huddersfield is putting Hull to shame at the moment. Who decided the ticket prices for the game at the KC? At the Hudds game best seats are £20 and same at KC it is £40. Don't see how they can justify the difference.

I agree on that point, Fiji are better opposition than Ireland, but £10 more would have been enough. Maybe the KC costs more to hire than the John Smith's?

Agree, the RFL owes the city of hull nothing.

As there seems to be a complete lack of transport being organised around this area for the W/C semi finals down at Wembley on the 23 rd November ,day returns on the trains are around £80-90 return .Is there sufficient numbers / interest for us to run a coach ?. Brief details would be -- a 6.00 am departure (1 st game is 1 pm ) and cost would be £35 (depending on numbers). ALL seat would be pre paid . Any one who are keen to travel ,please give me a call .

1995 (UK): 46,500
2000 (UK): 24,000
2008 (Aus): 42,500'"
In 2008 only the final attracted more than 50,000. I saw this and the next biggest which was around 36,500 for the Aus v England match. Probably the worst England squad I have ever seen out here- over 50 points conceded in this match.

| Quote ="hullbg"I reckon a large number of Aussies and Kiwis living and working in London would beg to differ. It was one of the reasons that it was decided to have it in London as NZ/Aus/Eng are expected to feature so as well as getting the general RL public to go watch they will also have the chance of enticing some of the EXPAT community to the game.
I am not an advocate of International RL but I think they have chosen the right venue for the Semi Finals.'"
There are also plenty of Aussies and Kiwis over on mainland Europe. I know a large group heading over from Holland for the semis. Having it in London has made it a hell of a lot more convenient for them.
I live in Cardiff, so the opening weekend and semis are ideal for me.

I have been spreading the word about this double header to all the Aussies and Kiwis I know down here. Most prefer aussie rules but WILL watch league providing it's not too far to travel. I work with a South African guy who used to play professional union and he's coming and bringing a load of his mates along too. If semi finals were played up North then a scenario such as that wouldn't be happening trust me.
Far easier to market two games of high quality RL showcasing the sports best players than it is to persuade 8,000 more people to make the trip to the Stoop to see the Broncos get smashed every week though. But with the World Cup the RFL have got it spot on. Can't wait to sample the atmospshere!!

| The '50days' promo code seems to have stopped working, but you can get £5 of adult tickets for any game using the 'thanks' promo code.

DANCE code still works for 50% discount making most expensive tickets £20 & cheapest £7.50
HULLFC code still works and gets you a 30% discount
