I think Salford’s funding should be withheld and shared out amongst the other clubs

I actually think a well organised Wheelchair World Cup could standalone in the UK and would be well supported if done at the right time of year. I remember attending the Copperbox in 2022 and it was a great event.

Really good listen. Enjoyed it

The other venues were Brisbane, Wollongong, Gold Coast, Port Moresby. Plus others but can’t remember them!

In which case they will have been correct and clearly uploaded in error too early!

Yes 4 games in Christchurch in the men’s competition looking at the website. Although every city says 4 games so that could be inaccurate I guess

I tend to agree, I’m not against us updating the logo, but not sure they’ve fully nailed this. Would be interested in the method they used to validate the design.

Why are we playing the 26 Australia WC (what happened to PNG?) in Ireland?

For the third Ashes test I sat in the new North stand at Headingley, I had the misfortune of a front row seat near the western terrace end. The view was awful, felt like below pitch level and had no idea whether a team where 2 metres or 25 metres from the line at the other end. Can’t imagine having a season ticket there every week for Leeds. Truly awful viewing experience. In the interest of balance, last year I sat in the new south stand seated section for the Samoa test. View from there was great. BUT would not have liked to be in the terraced section - looked borderline unsafe with the amount that were crammed in. A view reenforced by a friend who was in there this year.

18,000 sold so far, next phase opens up tomorrow with 8k people having registered an interest so assume it could be sold out within next 48hrs!

There’s a staggered sale, so ticketed members get priority, then non ticketed members and then general sale - but even then you need to register for initial access. Can’t imagine there’ll be many after the non ticketed members so you might have to be quick.

Ok I have more info ticket prices and current sales status!

Yeah exactly. And Ashes internationals down under aren’t as critical when they have a strong Pacific Champ and when they keep winning Ashes over here. Once we win them, then go down there for the next one and it will have good publicity!

In the year that Tonga/Samoa tour and probably in the WC!

Yes it does, which maybe isn’t ideal but I just think the need for internationals on these shores is greater than our need to travel.
