Why are Scotland playing Aus in the f**king Midlands. At least play it in Newcastle, or somewhere North.

I did enjoy sneaky sound system at a very underwhelming fan festival in brisbane before the final lolThat is just embarrassing when you compare the TOTAL apathy from the NRL, ARLC, Australian Rugby League media and State Governments in the 2017 RLWC..
Hopefully with France locked in for 2025 it would be great if 2029 could go somewhere other than Australia, maybe just NZ?

What's your estimate for tickets sold so far? 40k ish? Anything above 45k should look great for tv.View attachment 67234
Black are bays that appear to have sold out around the ground. Encouragingly we know there is very limited capacity in the East Stand and most of the lower bowl. Possibly most concerning is Cat D on Level 7 has not gone on sale.
If there`s a big crowd at the opener with great optics for the tv viewing audience then that will more than compensate if the second game is a bit disappointing on the crowd front.Jon Dutton provides World Cup ticket update including latest sales for opener
Dutton has discussed England's group games, the women's tournament and overall ticket sales.www.examinerlive.co.uk
Confirmed that over 40,000 have been sold for the opener.
"I can confirm that attendance number will definitely start with a four. We're not done either, we're seeing tickets still being sold for that game. One in every two tickets that are being bought right now are being bought by locals."
Australia v Fiji appears to have stalled around the 10K mark which is disappointing.
Saturday 15 October is set to become the biggest opening day attendance for any Rugby League World Cup held in the Northern hemisphere, with tickets for England vs Samoa and Australia vs Fiji selling fast.
St James’ Park has now sold out of Cat B tickets, with only limited tickets left in hospitality, Cat A and Cat C.
The East Stand, Leazes East Corner and Gallowgate East Corner are completely sold out. The iconic Gallowgate Stand at the south end of the stadium and the Leazes Stand (lower bowl) are both 98% sold out, with a handful of tickets remaining in both stands.
Over at Headingley, the East Stand is completely sold out and only a handful of seats are left to purchase. The opening Headingley fixture, St James’ Park and the Tonga v Papua New Guinea clash in St Helens on Tuesday 18th October remain the current top three selling fixtures over the last seven days.
Nobody actively tries to play in Coventry.Because they bid for it.
Was hoping for a sell out but never mind I got my ticket.
Thankfully we know England v Samoa is on track for 40K+ in a 49K capacity venue,
