Which venue should host the 2017 ANZAC Test

[TIM !!!!!!]

Which venue should the 2017 Anzac Test. In my opinion it should either be at the Adelaide Oval or Eden Park, Auckland.

I say the Adelaide Oval because no World Cup matches will be in Adelaide and it has never hosted a test match.

I say Eden Park because there is a really big rugby league fan base in Auckland and I think they will get a big crowd. 35,000+ ??

I think NZ need this game to help them promote the 2017 RLWC. I would say that Wellington or Auckland would be an ideal venue.

I'm tempted to say Perth again. On the back of momentum from the end of year test this year.

But seeing as it's a world cup year, NZ could use the promotion.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

MetLife Stadium, New York.




To promote the 2021 WC.

I'd go with somewhere in NZ, Eden Park or Wellington and run ticket offers with World Cup cross promotion. Have World Cup tickets, information packages, merchandise all around the ground.

I wonder if the World Cup team will get any say in it to help promote their tournament..

Or the ARLC will just chuck it in Brisbane, barely promote it or use it to promote the World Cup, get 30,000, job done.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

How about NZ gets a home game for a change?
Wellington.

 

[adamkungl]

I thought the Anzac Test was canned :/ is this the last one?

 

[roughyedspud]

Yep 2017 is the last..

 

[Coastbloke]

Not very big but the Dunedin stadium looks good.
Either that or go out with a bang for the last mid year Test and hold it at ANZ and flog it like they do with Origin..

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Why has this not been announced yet?

Oh that's right. It's the NRL.

Your right. South Island in overlooked for potential rugby league growth. I think a Broncos game drew a bumper crowd of about 20000 a couple of years ago? Should get a great crowd for a test and win some new fans.

Please please let this be their mindset in the lead up! Absolutely critical and record breaking promotional investment. Probably a year out would be ideal tho. 2025 world Cup?

 

[latingringo101]

Eden Park would be my preference, give the Kiwis a game for once

 

[East Coast Tiger]

Every year we say play it in NZ and every year it's in Australia because of Nein. It will be no different this year.

Next use will be different because the NRL has killed it altogether.

Yep.

 

[paulmac]

Hamilton on the Sunday 6pm NZ time,4pm Aus for mine.

 

[East Coast Tiger]

It's Friday night though. Which is why it won't be in NZ.

 

[Pommy]

If it was going to be in Sydney I would say SFS

 

[ParraEelsNRL]

NZ would be nice for once. Just the once this century before they kill it off. Seems the only thing NZ have to do with it is being the opposition.

 

[Perth Red]

You'd get another 20k sell out in perth but I'd say NZ should host it, but not Auckand.
