Hold the important mid season International game in a small-mid sized stadium with NO Rail Links. Make sure the Biggest Team in the Game are playing on the same day at he other end of the country and make sure the International kick off time clashes with the First England Football world Cup game. RFL you are a bunch of -wits and morons, you are inept, stupid and utterly brainless. We'd be better letting the RFU promote the game it could hardly worse.
No wonder our game gets NO publicity, we hardly help ourselfs. The game should have been pushed with a massive publicity blitz, full on ad campaign on bill posters countrywide, Commercial Radio, magazines like Mens Health FHM etc, full page ads in the tabloids, poster ad's in Gym's and fittness clubs like David Lloyd etc, and the game should have been taken to a stadium in London (Stoop?) Newcastle (St James's Park? ) Liverpool or Nottingham. Think small and we are percieved as small town, small game.

Plus Sky don't have wall to wall JUNIOR RU to show so may as well show RL as a filler

In the recent past has the GB(Eng) V France games had lots of publicity and big crowds? Just a thought

Why play the game 200 miles from the RL heartland(London)? They play the Aus V NZ game down here because there are a good number of Antips living in the capital-Im not sure the French or even the northern RL exile numbers living in the south compare.

Doesn't the Football KO after the RL game has finished- This is an opportunity for a good night out. At the Stoop next week we have Skolars v York, Quins v Leeds then the football on the screens

An easy promotion should have been to have an England theme on Sky Sports with the RL then the football straight after, so that we grab a few football fans before the World Cup game and maybe get in a few bars and clubs outside the heartlands.

The football should have been put on the screen at the LSV too so people who live a bit further away might not miss the start of the football.

Playing the Quins-Leeds game on the same day at the same time is lunacy.

I made my choice, a trip to London it is - I dont care if england are playing football a the same time, I'd choose rugby league every time and usually England RL are more important than Leeds RL but not for this meaningless game

£10 for an international in a relatively small stadium shows how little quality and stature this game has in the eyes of the RFL

shouldve been at wigan and cheap ticktes.

still at least its developing a tradition, and selling out will be a good thing

the ultimate goal should be a mid season tri nations with wales and france to counter what the other mob do.

stop ya bloody whinging for christ sake...

Wierd mob not only run RL in OZ it seems,It's everywhere around the globe.

why bother flying 3 players from the other side of the world when even the RFL clearly don't rate this game as meaningful?

But the footy's on ITV isn't it Jonny, so can't see how that'd work? Let's face it tho, the RFL are proven champions at shooting themselves full in both feet.

If I'm being honest, there are NO pubs or bars down here, or many up there I'd imagine, that'll have anything other than football on the brain and on their TVs all day next Saturday. In fact, many places have plans to show past England footy games, rather than other live sport, such is the hype surrounding the World Cup.

do what i'm gonna do watch the game on sky then watch england v u.s.a

Or do what i'm going to do, go to the game, then have a BBQ and a beer!
