You can't have it both ways tho as although the two events you mentioned fill 80k stadiums we can't fill it for international games which should be the pinnacle of RL for all of us. We can’t have empty stadiums for such a big games as it makes us look bad.

Don't know what says about the state of international RL tho :roll:

I realise it uses RL wise wouldn't be always full but

Three internationals at the end of the year
One mid season international
GF
CC final
NL1 GF

You could possibly have the millennium week there and at a push the CC semi's also.

We could do with a base tho.

Would we get Government funding maybe?


Only for the GF and the CC , but that is not to say you would fill both of those if they were played at the same place

Also where would you locate this ' National ' stadium ?

London ? , Leeds ? , Hull ? , top of Saddleworth Moor ?

SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!

Yes, lets move the magic weekend to a stadium just off the M62, that will really spread the game. FFS.

having our own stadium won't improve the national game - the problem there isn't where the games are played its the players that are playing the game!

The best way to get crowds to the international games is good PR and Marketing, trying to get plenty of media coverage and more importantly put together a team of players who can compete on an international level.

Our National Stadium shouldn't be in the South, plain and simple.

I did say possibly btw when questioned on what could be played there.

Do you not think it would be a major boost to have our own stadium to call our own. As far as i can see we are the only potential major sport which doesn't have one. Some names are intertwined with the sports they house Wimbeldon, Wembley, Lords and Twickers everyone knows the sports they hold and they are known as the homes for that sport what is our home?

If we had a national stadium and it was in the north, I think we could say goodbye to the challenge cup. How many neurtals would actually go then?
