Quote Scanners="Scanners"I've already pointed out that Manchester City Council (Labour controlled by the way) backed England RU coming to Old Trafford and also tied it in with schools. '"

Quote Scanners="Scanners"this year show that the concept in it's current location is not that popular. 26,000 on the Saturday and 25,000 on the Sunday show that numbers travelling are shrinking significantly.'"
The crowd of 52k+ was down by what on last year? 6k? Not a bad turnout considering a number of factors going against it and nowhere near what some doom mongers were hoping for.
Quote Scanners="Scanners"Bring it home'"
Where might home be?
Quote Scanners="Scanners"End of May Bank holiday, no competing events'"
