Market the hell out of it and they'd have been looking at 40,000+ imo.

Hopefully they will for the next Four Nations over here. As for it being a sell out with 9000 seats left....this is stupid. When the original tickets sold out the RFL should have put the extra 9k on sale. It;s common bloody sense!

Correct

Even if the expected final of Australia - NZ had materialised? These venues have been booked for months. It's a shame the RFL didn't get the necessary permission though.

It's a risk they should have taken imo. At the end of the day Elland Road holds 40k and COM holds 48k so there isn't a huge difference anyway.

You forget this is the yorkshire-centric RFL you're talking about.
