Quote: Dropkick Murphy "This is it in a nutshell. There are lots of alternatives to "Wembley weekend" for a big day out watching rugby league, and depending on who you support it's likely you'll be able to watch your own club at Magic or Big Bash. Wembley is part of our heritage so keep it there, deal with the challenges it brings and make the best of it, but people will probably have to accept empty seats are inevitable in a 90,000 capacity stadium. People often compare to football, but every game they play at Wembley isn't an England game or FA Cup final. The League 1 and League 2 play off finals don't sell out - and those clubs generally have support bases similar in size to Super League clubs. The non league games for the play off, FA Trophy and FA Vase get even smaller crowds. No one ever advocates playing them at smaller grounds though, because the players and fans enjoy their Wembley opportunity. Just get on with it like they do.'"

Quote: UllFC "With the final moved theres a good opportunity for SL to do something with the August Bank Holiday Monday slot, theres absolutely no sport on at all today and SKY are surely crying out for something to show. Would be ideal time for a team to take a big game to a bigger ground, or a double header etc'"

Good shout.
Maybe almost have a triple header of games for Sky. Have Saints v Wigan at Anfield, Leeds v Cas at Elland Road and Hull v Hull KR at the KC.
Could stagger them through the day so Sky could show all of them?

No ,not a good shout........How about having nothing that w/end? And let the players enjoy the bank holiday,and a well earned rest with their families before the business end of the season.It's Preposterous to have the C/Cup final during the summer holidays anyway.

Fat blokes in the mud, flat caps, bogs that drain pi55 directly onto your boots - Now it's all 'Big Ask', 'Arm Wrestle', 'Collision' 'Contact' 'Facials' 'Upper Body Strength' 'Big Units' 'Scooting from Dummy Half' 'Energy Levels' 'Laying the Platform' ‘Middles’ and 'T-R-Y'. Let’s not forget resilience.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_32137.jpg

So, why not try and make an event out of it? It’s an opportunity. If we have no games on a weekend then the season is longer. I’m all for having fewer games and bye weeks like in the NRL but I think that’s wildly optimistic to imagine given the repeated self-serving lazy interests that run our game.
