[kiwileaguefan]

RTS out due the birth of his second child....maybe out for the English tests too. Last article I saw was ticket sales sluggish in NZ for triple header

The average punter has no idea that triple header is on..

The fact that next years SOO is already been promoted and this is still under the radar says it all..

Where are the promotions and tour packages? Sorry but 'conspiracy theories' about the attitude of the International game can't be ignored when you see deliberate incompetence like this..

Gee thats a shame. Lucky DWZ can slot in for the 9's at least.

Wollongong match seems to be selling okay. Western Grandstand now selling into corners, and Western Concourse Cat 1's are gone.

For Cat 2 & 3's, in the Southern Concourse they are selling into B and I and C & H for the Southern Grandstand, whilst in the Northern Grandstand they are selling into A & F, and
Northern Grandstand into F.

So I'd say over 50% of the seats available at WIN are gone.

Capacity closer to 18k than 23k though

Had a quick look now, looks like there hasn’t been much movement. All those bays in the grandstands look like classic ‘let’s sell every second row’. Not to sure they have sold 50%.

I think a crowd of 18,000 would be okay for this and would match the crowd against Samoa in 2014 for the Four Nations.

Largest crowd for WIN was 19,604 for the Saints v Sharks in a Final for 2005.

Just announced that the Junior Kangaroos will play France (Juniors?) as the first match.

Hope it's not Australia U23s v France U19s

It’s the U/23’s v France. As in, a ‘full strength’ side.

It’s the U/23’s v France. As in, a ‘full strength’ side.

In fairness France hasn't had a 'full strength' team in probably 20 years with the injuries and withdrawals every year

It's a shame the Australian U23's Vs France is being played on a Friday at 3:30 PM. I actually have tickets to go to the game and would love to watch them go around but I'm not done with work until 5:00 PM

Saturday would have been no worries...

Capacity is 23k but record crowd is only 19,608. 16k is a good percentage of the record crowd.

Have no idea why they picked Friday Night for this match... Saturday would have been a far easier sell, would have worked better for Fox as they could have shown all three games on Fox League and it would have at least been more travel and family friendly... Maybe they could have also shown it before 10pm in NZ....

Broadcaster must have paid more for Friday. Only explanation
Based on the Nov 2 game they clearly don't care or aren't aware of clashing with the Rugby Union so I doubt that was considered.

Who know what goes through these organisers heads. This would've been perfect for a Saturday and probably a bigger venue.

Gotta say, France have really missed an opportunity here by bringing over such a poor side.

If they had their house in order they'd give this game a serious shake. The Roos side is good but not that good:
3 legit rep players
5 likely up-and-coming stars
7 solid first graders
3 rookies

France won't be playing:

Their starting 13 from World Cup 17
Kheirallah, Yaha, Ader, Cardace, Bergal, Fages, Barthau, Maria, Pelissier, Bousquet, Jullien, Garcia, Baitieri
nor Super League stalwarts Tony Gigot, Morgan Escare, Remy Casty
A mere 3 of their 24 squad from 2017. and only a handful of Toulouse Olympique players.

No wonder Baitieri quit

Is the Junior Kangaroos game v France being live streamed ?

Murray left out for Hunt. My god.
