[Willow]

Johnsy I saw some for around $1400-1500.

Manchester or Edinburgh I think.

Mmmmmm

Worth keeping an eye on, interesting

 

[St. Linnane]

I look like flying out Thurs 17 Feb and flying back in to arrive in Sydney on the first flight in on Friday March 11.

 

[ME SO HORNBY!]

Also do tickets have to be purchased there or is there a way to secure them here? also whoever is going we should all purchase tickets together

I'd imagine the club would organise a "supporters tour", surely

There's loads of international airports in the UK. London (Heathrow), London (Gatwick), Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh are just a few.

The great thing is by Australian standards, everything is so close. You travel to the other side of the world, a few hours on a bus or train or car is nothing.

Last year the WCC was played in Leeds, presumably because it was the Rhinos home.

Wigan is near Manchester. So I assuming it'll be at the JJB Stadium, now called the DW Stadium.

What chance the club putting on its own supporters tour?

*edit* just saw your post johnsy, i hope so mate!

Hey, I'm thinking if we got enough people together we could organise a Charter flight. Crazier ideas have worked.

So no Charity Shield next year? Usually the World Club Challenge and the Charity Shield are around the same weekend.

I have already suggested to the club to put up an expressions of interest on their site (we will see what comes of that).

95% going however I would prefer an organised tour. Planning on a hit and run trip, fly in, match, (possibly a soccer game) and fly out.

Whoever would go f*cking good on you. Would be an amazing experience.
Wigan with their new signings will give it a red (and white) hot go.

Emirates do great connections to the North of England via Dubai and I think Etihad might as well. It saves having to connect to an internal flight or a train once you touch down in London.

Hopefully the Wigan fans have a sense of occasion and move the game from the DW to Manchester City's ground or even Old Trafford. That would be an amazing experience!!

I am already counting the days.

Souths fans will be gutted they miss out on their grand final.

It'd be a no brainer that the club would put on a tour. Speaking of which, who do you think would be appointed as tour ambassador? Coyney or Dell i reckon.

I'd love to go but i'm going to NZ in January and doubt I'd be able to get all that time off work

 

[Non Terminator]

Wonder if Brett Finch/Ryan Hoffman/Jeff Lima will get a run. They'll find it a hard squad to crack.

Rorters should play St Helens as a curtain raiser before the two Premiers come out.

Ross Harrison Travel is Organising a Supporters Tour. The details shouldn`t be far away. They look after all the Dragons Travel. They are at Engadine.
