That does sound quite good actually. I fear for Scotland v USA on a Thursday night in Salford tbh.

Not sure how accurate the Limerick figure is, had a look and there is only one stand open and not many seats sold.
The Rochdale game looks to be selling well. Think some fans need to be realistic about ticket sales. The tournaments still 4 month away and we've probably sold more already than the 2000 World Cup. Wonder how many tickets the 08 World Cup had sold 4 months before the tournament?

that's pretty good, the RFL commented that they picked Rochdale for the Fiji game due to the town having a big Fijian population...and those sales seem to back that up.
as others have said, the Scotland-USA game at Salford mid-week is a concern, can't understand why they didn't attempt to play at least one Scotland game in Scotland.

In 2000 they played Scotland, Wales and Ireland games in their own countries and Scotland in particular was just embarrassing (and oh boy, did the BBC use it as a stick to beat the tournament with).

It's not a confirmed figure, it's what I was told by someone in the know whilst doing my work for RLP.
I think a lot of fans, and I mean a really high percentage of us havn't bought tickets yet. I've got tickets to 3 games but will be attending at least 8.

| I'm the same, I've got tickets for the big 3 matches but will be going to all the England games, NZ v Samoa, Ireland vs Fiji, Cook Islands vs Tonga and a couple of quarter finals as a minimum.
The signs are very positive I think. It certainly isn't going to be a repeat of 2000.

| Quote Bull Mania="Bull Mania"Just slightly off-topic, but i caught the highlights of NZ V.S Aus cricket match in the ICC trophy and noticed there were a lot of empty seats. Wonder if anyone is concerned about the health of cricket

If the RL world cup has even one game that has some empty seats, i'm sure these message boards will be full of some "fans" gleefully telling everyone international RL is pointless, no one is interested and it is dead.'"
I was at the volunteer launch yesterday and with all the preparation behind the scenes, the only thing that will fail with this World Cup is people not buying tickets and getting to games.

| Although I find international rugby a bit of a farce as at the world cup every country will have Australians in there team so that devalues the tournament straight away I will go to the games at craven park and the kc

| But you can say that about EVERY sport. Slavs and Croats playing for Germany, Brazilians playing for Russia in Football.
Athletes changing nationality every 2 minutes, same for boxing, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Tennis, but there's only League fans who use it as an excuse to call it a farce.
