the car park is a joke I agree, all it would take is a small amount of planning, such as stewards making the road one way on exit, or the Police manually controlling the traffic lights and the traffic would clear much easier. But 11 years on they still haven't sorted this out!
as for the atmosphere, I didn't think it was too bad, the bad news before kick-off didn't help, as many still hadn't heard the sad news. Also the game was strange in that it was tense in the first half, followed by a walkover in the 2nd, which never leads to a good atmosphere.
Obviously I'm biased, but I think the fact that every international at the KC has attracted over 20K means we deserve a fixture in every Test or 4 Nations series.

| I can't help but think the great tickets sales are down to us all knowing the fixtures a good 12/18 months in advance. Usually we only know about 2 months before with most tournaments.
I hope fixtures and schedule are sorted for next years Four Nations asap.

Also the Samoa vs New zealand game reinforces that point..

| The games seem to have attracted a different demographic than your average club game. That's meant a different atmosphere. In some ways I've preferred it. There's more positivity, less foul language, fewer boozed up idiots, people are there to have fun.
More of the same please.

I'd agree with that, though I think the next 4 Nations is down under?
I do however think we should be bolder with the venue choices for the next 4 Nations, the big grounds make the games seem more of an event and we sell more as a result.

Think for an Australia test we should look at Elland Rd or the COMS like we did in 04 or 05. Stick to a Wigan/Hudds/Hull for the Kiwis then a Warrington/Widnes for the other nation. The final will be the other of Elland Rd/COMS.

I've been stuck on there a few times. Yesterday we managed to find a side street about 10 mins walk from the ground. We had absolutely no problem getting out.

We're getting off topic but NZ-Aus should be in London in my opinion - Would be a way of spreading the geographical spread without losing much in the way of attendance.

| Your right about next years Four Nations being down under. 2015 is free but a GB tour is hoped with a long awaited Ashes series, but if not, let's just play the Aussies once and play NZ in a series. If even that is not possible, then poss Aussies once, Kiwis once, PNG and Fiji. That would still be a great tour and you can imagine PNG and Fiji being really tough if played in their home countries.
That would be something completely different for the players to look forward to.
2016 is a home Four Nations, then 2017 is a SH World Cup.
So really, looking at that, we are only at home for one comp in next 4 years.

hear hear.....lets stay away from elland road,man city ground is an excellent choice and I would try to have all finals at old traffold get people use to having it as the final stadium.
now the failed tennis fella as gone with his policy of smaller and smaller ground lets think bigger and why not start planning for a 4 nation comp back on our shore in a few years time
Book the stadiums now and start selling early bird tickets now strike whilst the iron is hot,even go so mad as allowing overseas fans to plan and save up for it by giving a couple of years notice
Great to have 2 more games on today and sold out again
