The last line is very depressing, 'Niu said no peace talks were currently planned'.

RLEF > RLIF

He doesn't want peace, he wants to maintain control for his clique. If he wanted peace, he would have run things democratically from the start and there wouldn't have been a split in the first place. I don't think there would be a problem if he wanted to run his own league, he just shouldn't have control of the national team. He's pretty much admitted in that article that he is incapable of running it impartially.

It was and a certain Paul Cullen was stood right behind me at the kop end where the away fans usually stood.

The Rugby League World Cup Final 2013 will be on Saturday November 30 at Old Trafford. Semi-Finals weekend before double-header at Wembley

Re: 2013 World Cup : Thu May 03, 2012 9:39 am  

We need to shove RLWC13 and the sport in general in peoples faces, whether it be through social media or any other methods. The media need to give it the attention it deserves and the public, everybody needs to know about it. Christ I'll even resort to trolling if I have to.

I think Old Trafford is the right choice, I am looking forward to the double header at Wembley too. Will many amateur clubs across the country be getting discounts/freebies?

Re: 2013 World Cup : Thu May 03, 2012 12:45 pm  

All fixtures need to be confirmed and then tickets put on sale. It may be minimal but a steady sale of tickets between now and November 30th would provide a base for attendances. Stands outside each and every Super League (and maybe Championship, Championship 1 games) for the rest of the season. A highly visible tent with prizes and promotions, selling WC tickets at the Super Leaguen Grand Final at Old Trafford. Each and every club in Britain, Ireland and France should be contacted and told they'll be rewarded accordingly based on the number of tickets they can sell. With 365 days to go till the final there be should be a big event to publicise the fact that there's a year till the sport's international showpiece. Those are just a few immediate ideas as I'm on a 40 minute dinner-break, but there are so many possibilities with this.

500 days till the 2013 Rugby League World Cup and hardly a peep from the RFL. it would have been nice to see at least a mention on Sky's State of Origin coverage, maybe a celebratory lunch with the mayors of the host cities, chairmen of the clubs and national newspaper sports editors. Opportunity missed or am I making too much of this?

I got an email about the 500 days. Says in there tickets will go on sale in October!

Re: 2013 World Cup : Wed Jun 13, 2012 4:28 pm  

Me too, but I was hoping for something a little more visual or significant than an e-mail.
