For next time, you can get the train from Oldham to Wigan (think it's Wallgate). You just need to change at Manchester Victoria.

| I just don't think people enjoy international RL, me included. IF there was a game at the KC I may have gone to it but other then that it just doesn't interest me.

Thanks for that. Any particular reason why?

| If it'd been Wigan v Melbourne Storm in the WCC it would have sold out weeks beforehand. I think that pmarrow's attitude is probably normal for the bulk of RL supporters.

| Quote dally messenger="dally messenger"ive never attended a union game in my life.
choosing the wallabies over the roos confirms my thoughts on you'"
Been to Paris a few times now and although its a top city its very expensive, my French is not wonderful and ultimately the footy will be yet another training run for Australia.
On the other hand I get given a FREE ticket for the Wallabies v England at Twickenham (being a Pom even you must have heard of it) through my work....I can go to the Walkabout before and after the game.... and whilst at the game I can soak up the atmosphere of 82,000 singing rugby fans in one of the nicest stadia in the UK.
It was such a hard choice

Rugby fans? You're going to Twickers old boy. Make sure you clap when the penalties go over.

I agree, London is expensive.
but so is Paris....and I'm already in london
I'm not a big Rugby fan but its going to be a good day for free
So why waste money travelling to Paris to watch a game where only 2 or 3 thousand will show up anyway when I can be part of an 82,000 sell out crowd at Twickenham?

Definately the atmosphere
Can't beat a big crowd at a sporting event.
I might even buy a jersey

| Why would you need another? Make sure you get Matt Giteau's autograph, he's such a spunk.

| Everyone keeps banging on about using the COM stadium but they can only use it for some many non football events.
Concerts will always get first pick as the stadium can pack more in and fleece you for more cash once you get in on drinks and food.

Jesus, if I'd gotten two RU tickets gratis, i'd file them under B, I, N. Or sell them off.
