How many will bother turning up for both games? I figure it will be a bit like the double header at Eden Park for the last 4N.

Bear in mind the majority of the fanbase will be from outside london e.g. Wales or the North of England... everyone will want to make a day off it, good crowds for both games!

3 months out and it's already bigger than the crowd for the Australia vs PNG match at Parramatta Stadium for last years Four Nations..

A match that should have been at SFS with tix at half the cost..Along with the Samoa vs Tonga game and credible promotion, it would have almost reached the 25-40,000 mark..

So, good news for the Wembley matches..

Too true. Playing at a packed Wembley should really boost the Welsh lads also.

Whilst the Wembley sales so far are great, and I really hope they fill the venue, comparing Aus v PNG to this double header isn't a fair comparison... and as for the game getting more at the SFS, honestly that's debatable considering the market for the Tonga and Samoa game traditionally lives out west, and the weather that Sunday was terrible.

Aus v PNG is always going to be a hard sell in Sydney no matter the venue.

Just bought 12 tickets just before the deadline elapsed with the half being virgins to TGG. If they kept tickets at £10 and promoted the f*ck out of it for the next month then I reckon they could get 50-60k minimum to this event. Not sure how much promotion there has been in London itself

Something to Build on, this Double header deserves a sell out, i want to see it as a Sell out. It would look amazing on television from here in Sydney.

They've had ads in the ex pat press. They probably should keep the deal going... can't sell it all for 10 quid though.

 

[VictoryFC]

Ages to go. Far easier sell the closer the date gets.

Good start. From what I've seen it's been popular amongst Kiwis, Aussies and casual RL fans in London.

I can still get the £10 tickets for a while yet. Hoping to get a big group along myself. So if anyone has a group of 10 (minimum) and wants the promo code drop me a pm.

What impact could the riots have on future sporting events in London at the moment?
