Just noticed England RU are playing at Etihad on the same day as us, should be a fun commute, they kick off at 8 though.

| The RFL should get some ticket sellers in the Manchester Train Stations next Saturday afternoon flogging Grand Final tickets to incoming England fans, at least it won't be like a wake at Old Trafford  |

Both will be sell outs, not much left for sale at Old Trafford looking at the RFL ticket site.

Was hoping there might be some hotel cancellations as the current prices are ridiculous. £400 for a Travelodge and up to £1000 elsewhere. The RU fans might pay it but I ain't. Sending cheeky e-mails to hotels telling them if they get any cancellations that I'm interested but only at the usual prices! Not much hope but if you don't ask you don't get!

The cynic in me says that the RFU have done this on purpose.
Our GF weekend has been more or less on the same weekend for the past 15 year and the RFU are trying to trump our show-piece event by staging a game they know will sell out in the same city on the same day at nearly the same time.
But this will unfortunately just me travel pains for both league and union fans.
Way to go RFU - p!ss off 140K people at once.

Not sure about that as they have played at the same time before. I recall watching a game before a GF in the bars at Salford Quays. Was it 2007 or 2011? I think it was against France.

| Will it really effect the commute? How close are the stadiums? I imagine the arrivals of all the sets of fans will be staggered over the day. When City and United play at the same time Manchester cannot come to a stand still.
Anyway at this rate England RU fans will be outnumbered by Rhinos alone |

Leeds Rhinos? 8 for you, Leeds Rhinos! You go, Leeds Rhinos.
And none for Castleford Tigers. Bye!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1140.jpg |

The Yawnion kick off is 8pm, so at least that should mean the journey home isn't as crowded as it could have been.

If City and United were to play on the same day then approximately 50% of them would already be in Manchester and not travelling into the city.

As Tad says City & United don't play at home on the same day. Though I'd imagine that's more to do with the risk of violence than anything else.
