Lots of adverstising hoardings along the M62. One in particular made me laugh, heading Westbound approaching Junction 11 a couple of miles out of Manchester.

There is an RLWC advert down in a farmers field, surrounded by tractors, debris and general animal faeces. Hardly visible. Then 100 yards further on, there is a huge empty board right at the side of the hard shoulder saying "ADVERTISE HERE".

50k sold for Wembley according to Martyn Sadler on twitter. Looking like a sell out. Brilliant.

If one show pony is the catalyst for a month long tournament to now be considered a success, then the sport is in worse shape than I thought

he will shift some tickets, of that there can be no doubt, but a couple of thousand here and there isn't a game changer.

That's fantastic news...it is key that regardless of the games that will struggle to get crowds that the games that will be on FTA TV are sold out.

BTW, it is still a concern that various journalists are leaking these unconfirmed figures on Twitter but the games governing body are silent on the matter!

Still...at least they've sorted out the bubbles for the tournament now
