As with the shirt, why not an announcement date for the squad to drum up some interest?

Why would England not select their strongest squad for the tournament?

Anyone know if the 50% off voucher codes are still knocking about? Need to sort tickets for the games at Leigh and Salford along with the final...

The '100days' code was still working last week. Not sure if it still is.

For anyone going from Manc-London for the Wembley semi finals, the advance train tickets are on sale now. Could get £25 return last night going there and back on the day of the game.

Because the coach alienated the best HB into playing for another country

Very true. And if Brough gets anywhere near MoS it will show McNamarra up for what he is, a terrible judge of player.

Got train tickets this evening going Saturday morning back Saturday evening for £25 return from Wigan.

Train back is at 7:20pm from Euston so may have to get a move on after the second semi but chances are it will be Australia thrashing somebody so I won't mind missing the last 10 mins.

Hmm....let's hope those billions of cockneys the RFL reckon are going all hang around for the final whistle.....Wembley with 20,000 in it will not be a good look

Always wise to check the goods before you make a purchase?

As we all have differing opinions, is there a quota of the squad that needs to match our own personal choices to attend??

Or is one player missing enough?

One thing time rfl could have done was have RLWC merchandise vans at SL games selling tickets for games and England and rlwc merchandise. Seems you have a perfect opportunity to sell direct to your main audience at SL games.

Re: World Cup Ticket Sales : Thu Sep 05, 2013 2:28 pm  

Is unreasonable to think we could sell out a few non England games ? Games at Craven Park, Leigh, Salford and The Shay could be sold out if all RL fans got behind the tournament. Some of the tickets going for less then a tenner and big discounts for group bookings.

Really want to see this tournament a success its our chance to show RL is long from being dead in this country.
