Tiling onto Plywood

[rustylt2]

Have a job to do where the old kitchen wall tiles have been removed and some of the plaster has come away too. I was thinking the quickest wasy would be to screw 6mm plywood to the wall and tile onto that - nice even surface. What is the best primer to use before tiling? Tiles are just normal 100mm ceramic. Any other preperation required also?

Use backerboards not plywood ..much better to tile to...
