Corporate hospitality will play a huge part on which venues are decided.


I agree with you there, it will just be interesting to see who will actually host the games, im all for using the best stadiums it obviously makes sense, and if all the stadiums will be RL grounds? Elland Road normally trys to host the major games.

Unisex Green Jumpers are cool

I've thrown a kettle over a pub, what have you done?

Of course it did :wink:

Can't see Elland Road being used personally, not now Headingly has been improved and offers far better corporate facilities.

I'd like to see Halliwell Jones used as well, im not to sure about the corporate facilities there, but i like the atmosphere.

You ever been to an international?

Atmosphere doesn't exist I'm afraid.

Yeah I did Huddersfield for G.B v NZ, it was a washout!

From an atmosphere perspective, the ground is irrelevant to me.

Out of curiosity, how many do you think would show up at CP to watch say...Tonga and Samoa?

I'd wager less than 5k.

Atmosphere for GB versus Australia at the KC when Adrian Morley "jumped the gun" slightly was very good.

In answer to the original post, I think smaller grounds make the best venues for the lowly teams to play. However, I think the chances of New Craven Park hosting such a game are slight. I expect those games to be reserved for smaller grounds further west, not out on an RL limb like Hull is.

I would pay to see a world cup game at Craven Park though.






A wise man once told me, "Any hole is a goal".

Why pretend to be something we are not? its not football with multi million pounds getting thrown around, every RL club does not have a Super stadium. all im trying to put across is to play the games at places that will appreciate them being there.

Yes but the grounds don't have to be bomb siteesque. Your grounds no better than football grounds where 50 years a go.

Us real fans don't look over our shoulder at our neighbours and do whatever we can to get one over on them. We look at the bigger picture. And this is the reason why Rovers are and will forever be considered a small club. Because their fans and board would rather get one over on Hull FC above anything else.

Quite sad, really! :lol:

SPOT ON!
