there are only 18 months to go to the world cup, and although alot of prgress has been made, most of the aussie public doesnt even know that the event is even on. the union cup in 03 already had an ad campaign running on tv promoting their event 2 years out. when are we going to hear some announcements, advertising, ticketing deals etc so people can start to plan ahead?
I feel the same.
But league just doesnt have the money to have ads 2 years out. Id like to see some a year out. Say when Australia take on NZ latter on this year.
Also we dont know which teams are in the Cup yet. We dont know how many groups there are and which teams are in which groups, where the final, openeing ceremony are being played, etc. All im saying is that its a little hard to get people interested when you cant tell them much yet, we'd prop get critics saying how poorly they are handling it as they cant say what the match scheduling is or what the groups would be.

These matches are still to be played to find out who will be in the Cup. Once this has been decided and we know the schedule and groups then i'll be expecting them to really go out there and promote it a bit. If they dont then we will definitely have something to be angry about :x
