| I'd suggest somewhere like Nottingham, although I'm biased.
Its not too far from the heartlands, so could be done in the day, the city ground can hold 35k+ so would be close to selling out. But it is far enough away from the heartlands to be worth the trip, and a good day out / weekend away. There's also plenty of stuff to do in the city.
There is a growing interest in RL down here, and lots of work going on in schools. It would be a boost for the game in the city, and the city is not so big that the event won't get lost. I got the impression from when I went to Murrayfield last season that most of the locals didn't even know it was happening.

| I don't know why they think the venue will make any difference. The concept is a bit naff full stop.
However, I would just like to congratulate them on considering a nines tournament. That would be excellent IMO.
A proper full nines or sevens tournament is something that would go down well in our sport. One where the full sides are competing not just sending the youth teams.
We did once do something similar in the 80's I remember, or it might have been early 90's. Was it the British Coal Nines?

I'll tell you this now, of all the sportsmen I have ever seen, this guy is the most impressive. Clare Balding 6/10/12:37727.jpg |

| What about Sheffield? Its handy for everyone in the 'heartlands', and would/could give people like Mark Aston a bit of publicity in the area.

| Starting the season with a bang as per Peacocks suggestion would be the way to go.

But then it would have to be Cardiff. And that would be fine with me.
If only Blackpool had an enclosed stadium........

How many fans would want to sit in a stadium for 8 hours in February.

That's why it has to be Cardiff. Some of us barely survived Edinburgh in May, February is a quite frankly frightening prospect.

It was.
Early 90's you say, I wonder which team won it?

Most definately... it'd look a lot better on TV which would allow it some time to grow.. it should be the season opener for me...

I remember been there at Wigan I think, but can not remember who won. I didn't think it was Leeds, and would guess at Wigan. But really having a memory brain fart here.
I still liked the concept though and would like to see the game trumpet something similar. Headingley is the absolute perfect venue for a tournament like that.
