Would be great to see an England World Cup game at the KC and perhaps one of the South Sea Island sides or Papua at Craven Park. Both would be well attended i feel.

The RFL would be daft not to have some games played in Hull.
If Stanley Gene is still the coach of PNG, get one of their games at Craven Park, market it as 'Gene's Return' and sell tickets for £10 and £5, their game vs Samoa or France.
England home games should be played at bigger venues, not the 25k KC. Use the KC for games such as NZ v France, Australia v Ireland or a quarter final not involving England.
We need to think bigger than previous years, don't have England at places like The Keepmoat, get them at Wembley for the first game, Old Trafford/Anfield/Elland Road for group/knockout games, and back to Wembley for the final.

Nice idea but can you see the rfl giving the city 2 World Cup games!
I hope all the venues are in or close to the heartlands this time around.
If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...

I agree that hosting PNG at the possibly re-vamped Craven Park would be a great idea due to the Stanley Gene connection.
I reckon the KC stands a chance of getting England versus either Ireland or Fiji..but I agree that the big Australia game needs to go to a bigger ground and be made into a proper 'event'

Revamped Craven Park?????
CP cant hold a WC game for the "England world cup" with one end being in Holland. They are still to secure funding for the north, moving of the north to Holland

Would be great to have some WC games in Hull, could only see CP getting one if it is has had some improvements done to it by then. There are plenty of other grounds that would get games ahead of it as it stands.
