| Quote OFFTHECUFF="OFFTHECUFF"Maybe the Midlands, such as Birmingham would be just as easy.Not too far and lets spread the game gradually.'"
What's MM got to do with spreading the game? Holding it at Murrayfield didn't suddenly motivate a load of Scots (the few that bothered to go) to run out starting RL teams.
It's a novelty event. I'm not personally keen on it, but not so much as to get too bothered by it....unless that is, that people at the RFL think its got something to do with expansion. It doesn't. |

| Quote Wheels="Wheels"With 7 of rugby over the two days, just how much of the city do you actually see during the weekend?'"
For the non rl fans that we convinced to go see the odd game out of the 7 so they had the chance to visit cardiff too much. If i had unlimited holidays day and money i would still go but i dont, and going to france or 4 more away games with cas is more appealing than manchester. Sorry if that offends you so much but manchester really doesn't do it for me, wheras i love cardiff and edingburgh. |

Have you or your friends actually ever visited Manchester properly and seen what it has to offer? |

Why would you have to use any holiday allocation for a weekend? From Castleford you can travel to Manchester much quicker than travelling to Cardiff or Edinburgh, so you don't need to take Friday and/or Monday off. |

And the Monday is apparently going to be a Bank Holiday anyway? |

| Quote Chorlton RL="Chorlton RL"Its not up to City, the council own the ground. City wouldn't be happy if the matches were held during their season, but Feb is too cold to hold that sort of event in a stadium with no roof. May, after the soccer season, is a better time.
Plus, why wouldn't the council be up for it? They could potentially make more out of this then United do out of the Grand Final. There could be in excess of 40k fans on both days and the stadium would be open all day, both days, meaning an awful lot of beer and burgers can be sold. It also means the council have a good photo opp for New Islington, the regenerated area of Ancoats on the way to the stadium.'"
City lease the stadium and part of the conditions are that they are the ones that have the final say on whether to allow it or not. The council leave all decisions on concerts and special occasions to the club.
Fact is that City need the cash to help comply with the UEFA financial fair play regulations and the pitch will be relayed the following week anyway so why not? |

I work with people with learning disabilities that need just as much support on the weekends as on a weekday. Its hard for me to attend home games. |

No one will stay over and make a weekend of it, and so why not have it in Manchester on Saturday for the Lancashire clubs and Catalan, and Elland Road on Sunday for the Yorkshire clubs and Quins.
