Quote: Derwent "Do you have a link for that, as my recollection is that the decision was made due to the RFL being less than happy with the Millennium Stadium's promotion of the event and not being the most cooperative partners to work with.'"
Indeed there was never any suggestion by the RFL or the Scottish Tourist Board of money changing hands to attract the event to Edinburgh.
I'd guess that some deal has been done on the use of Murrayfield and the STB has agreed to expend resources promoting the event, but that in my opinion is as far as it would go.
I wuld be surpsied if visitor numbers could justify major financial expenditure to 'buy' the event. There's not enough evidence yet to give it a value.
