A World Cup at the Riverside

They don't kick the conversions from the turf.
No idea what went wrong at Coventry - I was wondering about whether it was because they didnt reseed the pitch and prepare it for the football season rather than playing some Super Sevens games on the surface.
 
Really enjoyed it this afternoon, they really should have had the tickets priced lower though.

Great when The Cook Islands scored, biggest cheer of the day
 
The pitch is fine - no worse than at the end of a Boro game.

League doesn't have scrums, mauls, rucks and the forwards don't wear 3 inch studs - nothing to tear the pitch up with.

Did you realise that most of the £25/£15 concessions remained unsold. Most people bought tickets priced £40 + for some reason. So, there were thousands of £25 tickets still available. All the North and Stand upper were not sold.
We asked a Hull fan how much it costs to watch their team at home. From £29 was the reply.
 
Am I right in thinking Rugby Union international prices are from £400 -500 at Twickenham? That seems horrendous.

I did have £25 pound tickets, I just think for a World Cup competition to be so poorly supported was a shame.

Had there been £10 tickets say, I reckon there’d have been a much better crowd yesterday
 
The crowds for the Scotland game and even England's game at Bramell Lane looked pish poor when they showed the highlights at half time on the red button.

My tickets were all £15 each but bought way back when they originally went on sale for 2021 dates. The 8,000 plus crowd at Riverside was very positive. Average attendance figure is currently around 6,000. Outside of England games it was up there in the top 6 attendances.
