We should be banging the drum for Wembley and setting all fans the target of beating that rugby (both codes) World Cup record crowd of 83,000 that was mentioned on here recently.

I'd be shouting that from the rooftops if I were the RFL.

I'm still hoping Wembley and Old Trafford will sell out. that would be a great way to end the tournament, especially if England can sneak into the final. I think if we can get into the final we'll get a huge TV audience and press coverage. (All that need to happen then is not to lose by 70+ points!).

Way things are going i think the final will be a sell out before we find out who is in it.

70k at Wembley would be a great effort, anything more fantastic.

Originally,there were certain people predicting that there wouldn't be 30,000 for the opener.With the recent predictions,those same people will now be saying that the game is in 'crisis',if there is less than 60,000 there.We all know who they are.

It seems that dispite the efforts of rlfans.com the competition is set to be a success.

They've sold easily in excess of 50k so far so that 83,000 is a very realistic target once more people see the World Cup on the TV and it is advertised to them.

I've said previously in this thread, but an England win on Saturday would, commercially, be fantastic for the tournament. I'd fully expect a rush on tickets for the final and Wembley if England get a positive result.

Hey we've been advertising it for months, I think you mean a few depressed posters.......

England v Ireland and Scotland v USA tickets have finally arrived this morning. I can be officially giddy.

Will the RFL be opening the rest of the north stand at Cardiff?

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Thu Oct 24, 2013 10:33 am  

Well, I can't wait for the tournament to start and am looking forward to a festival of rugby league over the next few weeks (and a few beers in Cardiff tomorrow night).

It would be fantastic to have a huge crowd on Saturday, but all the indicators point to at least a very healthy one. Relax and enjoy, I will.

In spite of leagues legions of groaners moaners and gloom monkeys I for one am lovin the build up its way better than the last world cup ere in every respect build,media coverage,expected crowd figures, etc.I was coming down with 2 others but circumstances prevailed and theyve pulled out but never mind im on me own I m gonna have a few beers mingle and have a crackin time.Im being pragmatic about England chances but Im quietly optimistic if England keep mistakes down to next to none and Oz make a load of gaffs we can do it.
