Ok, with the Quad series (Australia, England, NZ and France) to take place in late 2009 in England (and possibly France), if the England vs Australia match was held at Wembley and was one of the first matches to take place in the tournament, approx how many ppl do you think could possibly turn out for that game (in the 90,000 seat stadium)?
I dont know what rugby league support is like over there in the UK, but would the test match be held in the afternoon or at night, and which would draw a higher attendance (or what day and time would draw the highest attendance)? You live in the UK, so as your username says, you'd have a "Fairleigh Good" idea has to how much that game could get. The two highest crowd attendances for a rugby league test match have both occured at Wembley: 73,761 (Great Britain vs Australia - 1992 World Cup Final) and 66,540 (England vs Australia: 1995 World Cup Final). Could the next test between the Poms and Aussies held at that ground surpass both of those crowd attendances and set a new world record in the process?
Also on the topic of other big grounds in the UK, the other one of concern would be Old Trafford. A fair while back, Old Trafford use to get sellouts (when it's capacity was only 45,000) when the Poms and Aussie took on each other. Now, that the capacity has been expanded quite substantially to 77,000, what attendance could possibly be obtained there (considering that in the 2004 Tri-Series, nearly 40,000 turned out at games at City of Manchester Stadium and Elland Road)?
But as I said (with both Wembley and Old Trafford scenarios), I don't live in the UK and hence don't know what the level of Rugby League support is like over there.
