As one who attended the Olympics, I think it's a great move by the RFL to stage a game there.

54,000 capacity is about right I feel, the stadium is only a 10 minute walk from the tube station.

Should be a very competitive series as well.

It's a good call, what I'm not sure about is why we have announced it, but then you can only buy tickets, in a weeks time??



You would think on the morning it is announced then you would be pushing the tickets then and there, you have the headlines, get the phone number and website up whilst it;s fresh.



But maybe that's just me.

1st "lilly livered" set of excuses.



It's cheaper to watch with HD TV and surround sound.



England currently are not as good as the Kiwis.



I decide how to spend my leisure time.



good enough?

No not good enough.



You are a very selfish person, and your behaviour regarding attending matches belies your name.

Probably on the back of many RL fans wanting to spend no more than a tenner on a ticket so wait and wait until nearer the time to see what discount/offers/groupon will come up. Problem with the coaches is that there is no coach parking at the Olympic venue aside from 20 spaces at the 'Here East' and drop off bays at the velo park/copper box arena etc and 20 bays that you need to register and book in advance at the Westfield. Car parking is a none starter in the Westfield as they control the parking system there for event days though a lot of the on street parking for residents is only controlled Mon-Fri on the North/NE & East side of the park though there are a few with Saturday permit holders until 2pm unless you pay (for up to 2 hours) then it's all good after that.

As a suvverner I took 12 folks from my local to the Wembley semi and they loved it. Aiming to get them all to Stratford and a few more.
