Agreed, England v NZ games are far more eagerly anticipated than they used to be IMO and I guess the crowd will be up there with anything we've managed in the recent past against them.
Which, considering just how poor England have been of late, is no mean feat.
If we can get a competetive side out on the pitch, we'd draw some very good crowds. |

We thought they might get claustrophobic at the idea of a full stadium for an international game, given they don't see one very often back home.'"
Crowds
NRL > SL
Origin = Huge
Internationals in Aus > UK based internationals
Not even filling the grand final at old trafford or internationals in stadia that are 25k capacity tops over here anymore. |

Given the discrepancy in media exposure and the fact that Australia is one of the few places that the soccer goliath hasn't set up shop yet, I'd argue we don't do too badly compared to our ocker friends. |

Soccer is more popular in Oz than you would think.
And the Socceroos beat England 3-1 last time they played each other  |

When you have teams averaging 20,000+ fans every game in the THIRD DIVISION, then you'll start to have a point. |

Apart from Leeds who else does that?
They keep falling at the last hurdle, but they should rise to championship this season.
Leeds are an exception, not the rule. They certainly arent your standard League 1 club. |

The fact that [ianyone[/i does it puts the popularity of soccer into context in this country vs. Australia. |
