Four Nations matches at... Wembley!!!

[Hindyscrack]

Is this confirmed?

Havent seen any news elsewhere about it... I was looking forward to an NZ v Aus game at the stoop again in London, but this is even better!

Test match footy at Wembley once again!

Well last years double header was a great success, 44,000 2nd biggest RL crowd in New Zealand.

Wonder what sort of crowd is expected for Wembley. Over 50,000 would be good.

I think anything less than that would be a failure. Hopefully commonsense prevails and they play Australia Vs NZ in Brisbane and make a decent profit.

seeing how it looks like AUS v NZ is gonna be a 2nd round game..that ain't gonna happen

 

[blukablu]

Well they should change it.

 

[roughyedspud]

or what? :lol:

 

[Coleworld]

i think thats way we're playing wales and not australia ;-)

Haha, just for the tournament in general though i would like to see some improvement in England for really pushing the game forward. Wales joining the 4 Nations this year is fantastic for their development, they have come a long way in the last four years.

 

[roughyedspud]

i read it wrong anyway...looks like we are playing australia..lol

 

[PaulyTom]

I think the promoters can make it work.

If i was over there I would be in it for sure.

 

[roughyedspud]

for the 1992 RLWC final we had a 'massive' london underground advertising campaign.....and 74,000 turned up to the game...

so we can do it when we try..lol

Already a bit of interest being shown from some of the more involved fans on the continent.

I think it could be a goer. If they get 50,000 in that's a success.

Although Im glad international RL is going back to wembley its a shame Wales will lose a 'home' game.If the RFL schedule Wales v England in the North ,that means Wales will only get 1 game against Australia.I hope they stick with double headers and play ENG/WALES and AUS/NZ at the millenium.

They're not going to do that mate. They wouldn't be able to drag the moaning, whiny Northerners to the beautiful South three times in as many months. They'd feel too out of place and it would ruin their Autumn.

Challenge Cup - Wembley, London
Grand Final -Old Trafford, Manchester

WAL/NZ & ENG/AUS - Wembley, London
ENG/WAL - Wigan, Hull or Leeds
AUS/NZ - Perhaps Harlequins or Wigan/Hull/Leeds
WAL/AUS - Wrexham or Swansea's Liberty or Cardiff City Stadium.

Final - One of the Manchester stadiums

^^^ Oh and I'm being realistic, not ambitious. 2013 is the time to be ambitious.

The "beautiful south" from someone based in Wales! If you're a southerner then why don't you live there if it's so wonderful? And if you're Welsh at least God never gave us a whiny sing song accent and a huge chip on our shoulder.

It's "you're" TEZZA. As in "you are" but abbreviated and no apostrophe in chips. ;-)

Sorry, English isn't one of my strong points. We gave that up and decided to become better sportsman

 

[roughyedspud]

i take it you lot have stopped trying to become better sportsmen? you keep bloody losing things :lol:

 

[welshmagpie]

Well if you stop nicking all of our Rhys Evans' and if we consider our points difference in relation to our much smaller population I believe Wales top England somewhat ;-)
