Hopefully Wembley, Eithad and Elland Road.
Think big for a change.
Bingo! Those three would be my choice too.
Obviously, the RFL need to step up their marketing efforts.
They should do a lot more to get the clubs involved too. They do it in RU - the RFU give each professional club an allocation of tickets to sell, with the club taking a certain % of the take. They get the tickets TWO YEARS in advance of the game (it'd help if we actually had an international calendar/the forward planning in order to do this), two years to sell their allocation and make a bit of money. If they don't sell them all, it works by your allocation being reduced and a club more successful at selling tickets getting a higher allocation next time.
We have potentially 30 professional clubs to use as ticket outlets for internationals.
I know we do similar for amateur clubs, where they can get a money back for their clubs, but this is under-utilised too. Where I live, only one of the seven clubs around me take advantage of this for the Grand Final each year.
