One reason might be that more of the Lancashire based fans are likely to attend the Hudds game, seeing as there will be no group games over this way? Hull is a bit far to travel for an England group game I think, so people over here might just go to the Hudds game.
Yes, but the combined attendances of Hull and Hull KR are about 18,000 so add 6 or 7,000 out of towners and the game should practically sell out. Maybe there will be a late rsuh. in theory this should be an attractive fixture, two semi finalists from 2008 playing against eacch other and with all the pageantry and flair that the Fiji team bring to the occasion, ( Haka etc).
