Anyway, 4 times in a few weeks? The forum must be going to the dogs - you people need to seriously up your game. Where's Dutoni when you need him?

If the costs of putting the seats up isn’t too prohibitive Manchester Central can hopefully join the London Copper Box as a future regular Wheelchair Test Venue. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSaint Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 Just posted a rather dispiriting BBC article about the issues in Australia that may be affecting the international game. However, seen this from Dylan Brown: He’s spot on. Ridiculous that Aus eligible players get to play SOO whilst Kiwis et al can’t play internationals. Hopefully more Kiwis et al kick up a fuss about it… 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 They could easily play SOO over two weeks. Friday, Wednesday, Sunday. Hey presto an international window also. if they wanted to of course 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly no will in Australia though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Browny Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 The Wheelchair World Cup was pretty close to perfect. An inclusive event, with developing sides getting a run out and the opportunity to benchmark themselves against the good sides, whose skill and athleticism are now appreciated by thousands (millions?) more people. Good venues, well spread, record crowds, superb TV coverage. And an England win in a thrilling game. The only blemish I can think of is that French ref. 2 1 I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

Unfortunately they can do whatever they want they have the power over rugby league and if they want to make origin the focus they can. Unfortunately the international game will have to win people over every October and November moving forward. It will happen overtime but not right now. The best thing we can do is continue to stage world cups consistently and build a following for it. To have 6 weeks of international footy every for years on every day is huge. It will only grow. I would hope that France 2025 can get 350k tickets through the door and then 500k for the pacific in 2029. 250k in the US in 2033 then 750k for England in 2037 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
