Why not try and hold a game in the midlands there are 3 ideal venues with big capacities villa park,richo arena ( i think thats how its spelt )and walkers stadium its not far from the heartlands and would be home at a decent time with a mid afternoon kick off.

Would love it, myself.

Darlington FC's financial woes provide an ideal opportunity to stick a foot in the north east's door. The RFL should buy their ground and make it a regular home for England games.

Nice stadium but it's in the middle of nowhere, so I'd just hope the RFL would build a pub or two as well

Not really. How many games a year would it stage? Who would want to travel to Darlington?! Might as well just stick with the 25k stadiums we've got around here.
