    "the KCOM has hosted eight Test matches since it was opened in 2002 but not since 2015 have England enjoyed the support of the passionate rugby league city." <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    And yet they still have to offer cut price tickets to try and fill it.....

    This is great news. British Bulldogs has always been a big sport in the City so it’s nice to see that children play it internationally too

    Sadly, this is likely to be by far the best attended game at the KCOM next year.

    The city where the 2 lowest crowds of the last rugby world cup held in this country were? Beaten by such rugby league hotbeds as Bristol, Limerick and Wrexham?

    He's probably one of the 24,500 who filled the KC every home game for our first season in the PL. Something the RL clubs between them have only done once when they played each other there in this 'passionate rugby league city'

    It will if they are giving tickets away free at Asda with every loaf of bread bought as they did the last time a RL international was played there.

    The two **** fixtures at Craven Park got **** attendances, hardly a surprise.

    The one fixture involving England. at the KCOM. was a sellout.

    They've always been well attended (23,000+), people are just being derogatory for attention or through insecurity, just ignore them.

    England football can't sell 90,000 seats in a city of nearly 9 million people and football is the national sport.

    I take it London isn't a passionate football city?

    Surely there should have been more at a game in a rugby mad city than there were at places like Bristol or Wrexham where there aren't rugby league sides for miles around?

    **** games in a World Cup? Surely not, it is the cream of the crop. A game between the worst two teams in the Euros or a World Cup in Hull would have thousands unsuccessul in their attempts to get a ticket.

    They'll be lots of visitors from outside the City coming to attend - they might even spend a night in a hotel, have a few drinks,
    go shopping the next day, etc.

    In other words, bring a bit of money into the local economy.

    It's a win/win situation.
