    Think 10500 was around the number reported at the stadium. Can't remember the exact number.

    purchasing world cup Tickets.

    Certainly wasn't an issue for the UK world cup four years ago. Not very impressed with the Aussie ticketing strategy. Hope UK again, then North America will do better.

    Meet ups during World Cup

    Sorry to bump, but are there any recommendations for watching the games in a Townsville pub today? I'll be landing at 2pm local time, so will prob just Uber straight to a bar with my luggage! :grinning:

    Meet ups during World Cup

    Hi all, I'm flying to Townsville tomorrow ahead of Sunday's double-header and I'd like some advice as to where to watch tomorrow's (Saturday's) games. I'm looking for a nice place to settle in and have a few drinks and something to eat, but would also like to have other league fans in there...

    France

    For anyone interested in reading contemporary French match reports of the France national team between 1934-1960, might I recommend a couple of books for you. "When The C o c k Crowed" covers 1934-51 and "Still Crowing" (just released) covers 1951-60, with several World Cups covered. (Spaces...

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    At Cairns now. Shame about the blowout score in this second game, but the crowd seem to have enjoyed the day. A real mix of people getting dressed up and shouting for the four teams.

    I'll be there. And as a pasty Englishman I'll be very interested to see how I handle the conditions, never mind the players!

    If a season ticket holder doesn't know a world cup game is going on in their own backyard then that is pathetic.

    Australian pre game hukka And opening ceremony

    Terrible. Why do it? Maybe I'll missing some cultural significance, but it was dreadful. The other flags and lights stuff was ok as entertainment

    One Referee / No Video Ref

    Aussie refa are bent. We've seen that over the years. Neutral refs are surely the only way forward. But the nrl won't allow/sponsor it, it seems.

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    100% agree. I spent half an hour clicking though the various options for tonight's game and went from $150 to $50 for my ticket. I've used a vpn for other games to see prices and ticketek has either charged me more for not being an Aussie or not even allowed me to buy a ticket as I'm not an...

    RLWC2017 Crowd Watch

    I went tonight and was in level 3 East gate 3. I was lucky enough to be in between great girls from Swindon and Lyon (France) who I chatted to and had a good time with. It was a definite shame though that we were looking out to empty seats. Why couldn't we sell this game out? I love RL more...

    Australia are the problem in international rugby league

    Hear, hear! I'm an England fan and went to at least 10 games of the last World Cup, and enjoyed every single one, regardless of who was playing. In fact, I probably enjoyed the games that England didn't play in more. And I admired the passion and pride that every team played with, regardless of...
