Surprised Sheffield hasn't been mentioned, seems like a good idea to me.

Went To Ajax stadium to see Take That last week(I Know!!) That has a roof that closes and plenty of after match activity to boot



Nice ground and location, £29 return for 4 people on the boat, downside is the beer is expensive in the bars, not to bad in the offy!

Happy with Cardiff or Edinburgh, however it needs to go back to bank holiday either may day or spring bank then you have time to come down.

Come down from what exactly

Being drunk for three nights. The wife and I always made a week of it, staying in a caravan as close as possible with all the other fans. Staying in a caravan in feb just doesn't do it.

you mean The Amsterdam Arena? i went to a bloody christian youth convention there

some of my well behaved friends were attending and i tagged along just because its amsterdam and i felt like being off my face for a few days, also anatagonising devout christians can be fun.suffice to say, most of the attendees did not react well to my turning up laughing my off.
anyway, amsterdam is a bit of a stretch surely?
if its not going to be cardiff surely it has to be london or somewhere closer to home that might actually get a respectable turnout. but then we are limited by the fact that no football team in the north will lend us their stadium to play several games in two days, especially halfway through the football season.
As has been said many times before, manchester cities stadium would do nicely. but it wont happen.
perhaps a cricket ground? they do it in the NRL from time to time. of course the problem again being convincing one of them to have several rugby league games on the precious cricket surface.
Old Trafford, Edgebaston, even (dare i say it) Headingly (the cricket bit). worth a thought maybe.

why do people keep mentioning football stadiums. No football club is going to allow their pitch to have 7 games of Rugby League played over it on a weekend.

It will never happen so forget that idea. If the RFL is gonna stick with winter magic weekend then cardiff is the only viable place due to the closing roof.

I would like it to be moved back to summer personally. Feb is way too cold for this! Even in the summer the options are limited as you will never get a football stadium.

Dublin would be cool but lets make sure a few thousand locals will at least turn up. If the aim is not to attract any local then you might as well hold it at DW!

the RFL really need to step up the marketing for this wherever it will be. The marketing in Cardiff was pathetic!!

How aboout the Lengendary 'Red Rec' in Weatherfield...............right in the Heartlands.

Decent ideas and it would be good to promote the game in London again. Then again Twickenham is a Yawnion ground.

Out of interest, why have you dug up a topic from months ago?

TBH, London would be better in terms of getting media interest. If you think the M62 is seen as provincial, it's nothing compared to how badly Wales is looked down on.

I hear Cardiff to help the game develop, two clubs of any note Scorpions and Crusaders might end up just Scorpions.
Leave them with that let them develop slowly.

Edinburgh: Scotland population 5 million for the whole country, bloody hell Gtr Manchester has 3 million people with pro clubs on its doorstep, leave it, it really isn't worth it.

Catalan do fine we don't need to take it to France.

London it is for me, we have Quins who really struggle and are apparently integral to the Sky deal so we need Quins, we also need to help them out and there are plenty of clubs springing up and more and more kids taking the game up. People say we have Wembley but that's one game for 2 clubs.
Put it either at The Emirates end of the football season or be cheeky and put it in Twickenham or even the new Olympic stadium.
