No idea - maybe start a thread with the question on the TRL Aussie forum. It would be interesting to find out.

Do you know how its viewed in Aus now, is it still a big thing or just ignored? I know it used to be a huge match down under, pubs opening at daft o`clock to accommodate it etc.

Not very big unfortunately. I’ve watched all NRL games today so far and haven’t heard it mentioned, mind you I might have missed something. I’d be surprised if that many knew it was on let alone stay up to watch. Diehards & expats.

[Cake Tiger]

Not even being shown on NZ television.

[Futtocks]

There was a trailer for the CCF during the Cronulla/Roosters game on Fox League 502. I don't know about earlier, as I was asleep.

Tottenham has easily the best sausage rolls I’ve ever had at a stadium. Big thick sausage and decent pastry. £4.50.

Refuse to pay £6.75 a pint though 

[JonM]

Top stadium, miles better than Wembley or Old Trafford. Few thousand Leigh fans making a fair old racket just now.

[Padge]

Great stadium, pain in the arris to get to.

I just had a couple of discounted jumbo sausage rolls from the pound shop for 56p each! North/South divide summed up in pastry!

[Man of Kent]

Just walked round the entirety of the lower tier concourse. Breathtakingly good stadium

This was an actual thick, complete sausage, mind. Well worth it 

[graveyard johnny]

Bring a few back chief 

[JonM]

Fair play to Alex Simmons, this is a way better pre-match atmosphere than recent Wembley finals 

[bratman]

Even the changing rooms look plush on TV

[Futtocks]

Here's Lizzie!

[Just Browny]

Slightly stilted Abide With Me, better than last year's though.

Not her best performance. Still good to hear her, of course.

[johnh1]

Last year’s was dreadful. Lizzie everytime for me.

[berniewinters]

come on Huddersfield!!

[graveyard johnny]

is that Rory Bremner meeting the teams?

[Desert Skipper]

Who is Twinny? 

[bratman]

What the hell is she doing up there?

[Desert Skipper]

And why won’t she come down? 

[Just Browny]

In line with RL tradition, the first line of the national anthem is missed for some reason.

[Futtocks]

I hope Twinny doesn't suffer from vertigo!
