| It appears most people east of the pennies like to make a weekend of it, so a move to Liverpool this year on the days of their Marathon which will make accommodation harder to find and more expensive, not to mention potential travel problems once you get there, a dodgy part of the city to hang around in...iconic stadium or not!
The choice isn't to spread the gospel of the game to a new area, more likely a chummy agreement from council and football club mates of Elstone & Barwick. As long as the W.W.S don't travel far that's ok then!

There are a number of things wrong with the choice of Anfield.
To host MW on the same as the local Marathon is just farcical, but this is the RFL we are dealing with here, so it shouldnt come as a surprize.
Anfield as a stadium itself is great, when full of partizan fans hellbent on creating noise and atmosphere. The surrounding areas are not well suited to thousands milling around looking to be entertained if their team are not playing. St James was close to the city Centre and City of Manchester has plenty of space outside to have lots of other attractions.
That you have to host it on the doorstep of the three of the 2018's top four speaks volumes of their travelling support numbers. Just before someone takes umbridge at this comment, I am not referring to those who travel regularly.
If expantionism was the genuine thought, then lets have this at The Ricoh or in London.

Someone else blaming the RFL when they have nothing to do with the commercial aspects of Super League anymore.
Everything to do with the promoting and running of Super League is now in the hands of Robert Elstone and the SL chairmen, so you can thank them for this decision.

| Trivago offering the Holiday Inn Knowsley at £100 on the Saturday night with free breakfast........cheapest rooms after that are nearer £250. I can see many folk making a day trip of it which will impact on the aesthetic, if not the attendance.

| Why not just drink in the city centre and get a taxi to the stadium and walk back? The city centre has some great pubs.

Actually thats not true. Hull to Liverpool is about 20 miles less than Hull to Newcastle. Going to Newcastle is admittedly an easier drive as a rule, but based on distance Liverpool is closer to everyone.

As a Gateshead resident, I beg to differ
