| Lazy ar5ed RL fans will ensure it is seen as a failure by not being bothered to turn out and then bemoan and blame the RFL for not making it a success!
On the other hand we may be pleasantly surprised and get 70K and England might win it!

It is nothing to do with being lazy, it is to do with the amount of disposable income people have. It's not exactly a cheap day out is it?

| Of course it is. £20 return on the train + what ever ticket price. If your on a really tight budget then a couple of pints and grub in weatherspoon before hand rather than the rip off mucky at the stadium.

| International Rugby league returning to the national stadium for the first time in 14 years is singularly the biggest thing to happen to Rugby League in the UK this millennium
One of two things could happen
It could be a huge success with a healthy crowd watching a superb double header of games and reigniting the enthusiasm for International League ready for our World Cup. Or it could be a flop with a quarter full stadium opening the game up to ridicule
With no Autumn Union internationals this year due to the World Cup in New Zealand, the Wembley games will be the biggest rugby spectacle on show in the capital
These games could have been staged in Wigan, Leeds, Huddersfield etc but the game has shown the ambition to take the game to Wembley – now it’s time for the fans to do their bit and get to Wembley and make the thing a success. No excuses now, it really is time to show up or shut up forever about our sport not being high enough in the national consciousness. If we don’t help ourselves then why should anybody else help us
If you love your team that’s fine but if you love the sport of Rugby League then get to Wembley – it really is as simple as that

| Is it not too late for this now? How are they going to shift that many tickets for a game no one has any appetite for because we're incapable of winning it.

I'd be staggered if there isn't 80K RL fans in the UK who couldn't afford 50quid for a trip to a Int RL match.

A packed out Wembley cheering England on, also a rousing national anthem just might find another gear in this England team. Who knows we may actually win. I can't imagine playing for your country in places like Leigh, Huddersfield Leeds and Wigan will fill you with adrenaline? Playing at Wembley will I don't doubt.

A packed Wembley? What are the chances of that? Realistically, given the ridiculously delay in announcing the 4N fixtures, what is the crowd likely to be? I can't see more than 30,000 turning up.
33,758 showed for the 2000 World Cup at Twickenham. This was after a good 18 months of 'RFL' hard sell and marketing. Now they've got a few months and have also got the Challenge Cup and Grand Final marketing in the same time frame.
Unless they employ some proper outside marketing agencies this has the potential to be an absolute disaster.

| Would be good if the RFL could co-ordinate with Crusaders, South Wales Scorpions and the Welsh amateur clubs to try and organise transport to the Wales games. Think it would hugely improve the atmosphere and possibly even ticket sales if there was a chance of a decent sized Welsh contingent seated together.

| Only two pages to get negative... not bad.
It's at Wembley and people like to go there... so we have a chance.
Saracens got 40,000 odd for a Aviva Premiership match and the Carling Cup final was a sell out.
An England international of whatever sports should attract enough people to make it look full.
