Quote: Chris28 "Only problem with that would be the distance from the pitch (like Don Valley).
Emirates sounds a good idea tbh and the double header would be a good idea. Reduced ticket prices would potentially encourage neutrals to travel.'"
Really?
I'm a big fan of the game developing, the Magic weekend has been brilliant the last 2 years, as it was in 2011 in Cardiff IMO, but I don't see a future for this.
Not for all the tea in China would I go to London to watch 4 teams try and get to the Cup Final if 1 of them wasn't Wigan, even if the tickets were free. Too much is being asked of the fans to travel at the moment. Leeds and Wire went to Wembley and OT last year, neither of which are a cheap day out. Throw in another trip to London a month or so before the final and it's taking the fans for granted.
Not against the idea of a double header per se, but it shouldn't be held in London.
