Can see the quarter final attendance being poor. 7-30 on Bonfire Night. Even the pub was poorly attended on a Friday evening this year.

Maybe they'll put on some fireworks?

They won’t need to. I’m sure some Dobbins fans will bring some.

The Hull quater final is likely to be New Zealand v Fiji which should draw a decent crowd.

We can cheer on Lovodua and Evans ripping in against the kiwis.

I was a bit gutted when the Fiji group game had been moved tbh

Ticket prices are ridiculous. £70 for half way line for Jamaica??

While I understand Hull Fair was the reason for switching games with Headingley...Leeds has a big Jamaican community, Hull doesn't. I can see it being a shocking attendence.

Then as others have just pointed out, they are playing the Quarter final at 7:30 on Bonfire night?? Why not afternoon, or even 5pm meaning people can go watch fireworks afterwards.

I was a bit gutted when we lost the Australia vs Fiji game.

Kiwis vs Jamaica is a mis-match, and will struggle to get a decent crowd if it’s full prices.

Quarter Final will be decent game to go to though.

I have a ticket for that game and was annoyed to see it moved to Hull when Headingley would get a decent crowd since we have a big Jamaican community. Only for that match to be replaced with Australia v Fiji.

I can only assume they are hoping Leeds based fans don't ask for a refund and still go to Hull, but that is unlikely. Likewise Hull based fans who booked to see a competitive Australia-Fiji clash aren't going to turn out for a New Zealand training session.
