DoubleD 6,163 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Just received an email with the fixtures. What was nice was that you could sync to your calendar, and then share with others. That’s a really nice and clever touch. Hats off to them 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Man of Kent 7,904 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 (edited) England vs Samoa Sat 23 Oct 2.30pm Newcastle England v France Sat 30 Oct 5pm Bolton England v Greece Sat 6 Nov 2.30pm Sheffield Good to see all the midweek games and double headers. I’m particularly looking forward to the wheelchair double headers at the Copper Box in London. Edited July 21, 2020 by Man of Kent 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Hela Wigmen 2,863 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 I could be wrong but weren’t the Semi-Finals supposed to be a double header at the Emirates? Link to post Share on other sites

Dave T 18,550 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Some nice detail there. Quick skim read but I like Warringtons fixtures, 6 different teams keeps the variety. As a follower of Scotland I'm glad we have two games in Newcastle, and seeing Fiji will be great too. Possibly not sure if the wisdom of the Aussie game at Hull on the same day as the opener, but this was never going to be easy. Glad we have games spread out through the week, although haven't looked for short turnarounds. Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Kevin Sinfield 2,386 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 So if England can beat Samoa we will face PNG in the quarter final. Presuming we win that which of Australia, New Zealand and Tonga will we face in the semi final? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
The Hallucinating Goose 2,648 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Looks good for the most part, obviously the bit I'm a little disappointed in is having the Hull group game on the same day as the opener, I was really wanting to go to both and despite being in hull I'm still gonna go to the game in Newcastle instead. I hope a lot of other people don't think the same. I guessed right though, did think it was gonna be Aus v Fiji at kcom! I'll still get to the quarter final in hull and a surprise to get a womens game with it in a double header so at least getting more games here than I thought! Definitely a few places I can easily get to, Doncaster, Sheffield, York so a lot of games to take in without even thinking about travelling too much. Probably looking at close to 20 games! Australia v Scotland in Coventry on a Friday night could be quite a tough sell but with it being one of only two games in the south I would hope people will travel. Tonga v Cook Islands at Riverside is certainly an interesting one as well. Tonga are obviously a draw for us in the know but will the casual man in the street in Middlesbrough be massively interested in seeing them? I suppose it's not far for heartland fans to travel and it's on a Sunday but we shouldn't be relying solely on existing fans to fill these grounds. I like how there's a game at Kingston Park the day after the opener, should be an appealing weekend away for a lot of people and will really get Newcastle talking about the tournament. Hopefully a lot of people from there will travel down to Middlesbrough. Nope, all in all it looks pretty good! 2 Link to post Share on other sites
M j M 6,132 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Can anyone explain the logic to me of the women's double header at headingley where, on a Tuesday, England vs Brazil kicks off at 1430 followed by PNG vs Canada at 1700. As far as I can see there isn't any other game in any of the tournaments that evening so why wouldn't you have that England game at 1930? Link to post Share on other sites

Must say I had noticed that, one of the England wheelchair games is at 13:30 on a Wednesday as well. France v Greece at Doncaster mid afternoon on a Monday might be a bit of a hard sell.

Tommygilf 7,814 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 Love that we'll have Ireland, Jamaica and the kiwis at Leeds. Will be looking to go to as many England games as possible too! The Newcastle games look good too with some good matchups. Exciting times! Link to post Share on other sites
Hela Wigmen 2,863 Posted July 21, 2020 Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 A pretty good schedule overall with some good kick-off times that slot into prime time viewing slots on TV. Also interesting to see that they did press on with the idea of playing a game during the day during the week in France v Greece at Doncaster. Also quite a fan of how they’ve cleverly placed games in the same regions around each other. I will look at it in greater detail this evening as to what games I fancy going to.

No that does make sense, just seemed a little strange when it was the only men's game to be scheduled for that sort of time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

When they released a survey (probably about six months ago now), a game during the day and around school holidays, was one of the questions they asked and whether people would be okay with it. I assume the results were good and they’ve gone ahead with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
