What's the rush exactly?



Granted if one game is going to be in London then a decent period of notice would be nice to sort out travel/accommodation etc, but it's not like selling tickets now is going to magically put another 10,000 on the gate, is it?



Still, if it gives the usual suspects chance to have a moan...

Hopefully this is true, the Olympic stadium is a great venue. Lots of cheap hotels, shopping, night life with great transport links.

Quote ="JEAN CAPDOUZE"What utter rubbish! It's almost a bloody year away! Why is it too late to schedule a game at Wembley but not too late to schedule one at the Olympic Stadium? You M62 lot are challenged by logic and very difficult to ">comprehend.'" 1/Because there's a 40k difference in capacity and anything above 30-35k will look pretty respectable at the Olympic stadium but not so at Wembley. 2/Because I think there would be quite a bit of interest from people just wanting to attend a game at a new stadium and an iconic stadium rather then attending a ground we've played a cup final at for decades (that is obviously an iconic stadium also but people have been there and done that) Two major reasons straight away for me. As for M62 logic, I've been banging the drum for a Wembley game for months but I believe we've left it too late to 'guarantee' a crowd people would see as respectable. The Olympic Stadium is less of a gamble.

The only rush was one created by the rfls claim that it would be announced in November......as it is, if it is the Olympic stadium then that's a brilliant choice and id expect it to be close to full.
