Where are you getting 4000 Aussies from?

I believe it is a guestimated figure, but one that isn't too far off the mark.
They were in the majority yesterday, that is for sure.

Four Nations fixtures and venue:

24/25 October:
Australia v New Zealand The Stoop, London

Disgraceful! The pitch will probably be unplayable at that time of year. Switch it to Odsal!

Just interested to find out where the figure comes from as it has just been raise as another poster mentioned 4000 extra tickets in an unrelated matter.

I've no doubt there were a lot of them.

Its disappointing that there isn't an England game at Wembley, but Australia v New Zealand at The Stoop is fantastic news.

NOO! I didn't realise this, really hope the 2 don't clash as I have missed out on the last 2 NFL games in London, and Patriots are my team!

The NFL is on the sunday isn't it? Surely it makes more sense to have the stoops game on a saturday anyway, because of transport etc

Yes NFL is on Sunday.

The RL's ticket website states the game is on the Saturday, but so is Englands. So buy now and find yourself stuffed when they switch to Sunday. Only in the world of RL.

Nothing to say both games won't be played on the Saturday. I fully understand that it is annoying that they can't just state what day it's on, but let's face it....8 months notice is enough to sort out the weekend. As for the NFL game on the Sunday.....these are the choices we face in life and dummy spitting because the RFL dare to have a fixture clash with another sport...shocking
