Oooohhh get her





I'll tell you what, as you suggested it why don't you let us know why one of the top soccer sides would want such pitch wear at this time of year.



Now, now, that's not nice troll.



And they cover the pitch for such events?



The value seems to have escaped you then.

I'll tell you what you snivelling, sniping little weasel, you tell us all what the problem would be. How much pitch wear would there be? What damage does a game of RL do? Given the PL season does not beging until the end of August, how do you consider pitch wear to be a problem. This seems to be the crux of your argument.

Covering the pitch means the grass is flattened, the turf indented with all the heavy equipment, and it has no light on it for several days. Far worse than playing on the surface, no?

How has the value escaped me then mighty mouth? Come on know all, make some suggestions and valuations yourself instead of playing the big mouthed gobe so well all the time.

Troll getting a little hot under the collar?

Wigan 28-10 Huddersfield FT

Not a problem for me personally - and as a Quins fan there's a good chance my team could fail to reach the last 16 in any given year - I just can't see the clubs agreeing to it.

Personally I'd be willing to give it a go, and attend myself in any UK/Irish/French city regardless of whether Quins are involved.

Maybe have it somewhere warm.

Shocker from Briscoe and Saints lead 4-0 on 1 min.

I assume you've been and asked Khaldoon Al Mubarak and Malcolm Glazer? If not, how do you know so certainly they wouldn't allow it? Let's get this straight - it's you who so smugly made your statement, now can you back it up?

With only 1 or 2 games left in the PL, and at most 1 left at home, why not?

If it brings a shedload of cash into the city and stadium, I see no reason why the council wouldn't get on board. They own the stadium and a bit of healthy promotion for the city as well as a probably millions of pounds being thrust into the local economy ain't a bad thing.

A Manchester Magic Weekend would be awesome - handy for most RL fans to get to, great transport links, walking distance to the city, a great stadium, awesome.

or here's another idea, scrap the current system in terms of extra game for the league.
So we don't have an extra game end of.
but
This weekend (sat and sun) we have a sevens tournament with SL, NL1 and NL2 clubs competing. The games are short, are inclusive of every team and the fans.
It's an extra cup to brag about, 36 teams in a 2 day competition. Surely that would fill a stadium?

Too easy for Saints

10-0

14-0 Saints on 20 mins.

Great effort from Paul Clough.

... and the conversion makes it ... Saints 20 HKR 0

Far too easy for Saints at the moment. 24 -0 (34 mins).

30-0

It is now!

Must be one hell of a delay on SKY if it was when you posted.

Awesome, brilliant from us so far!

Jesus....thought we was bad.........at least the w-end is being rounded off great

If Saints play for the full 80, this could be one hell of a hiding for HKR.

The chippy stall behind the north stand has run out of deep fried battered haggis but not deep fried battered black pudding! That's just wrong

Ferguson whinges every year about one game being played there and COM has held one game in six years and that was just after it was converted, if they wanted more games there have been plenty of them to play there.



But a Manchester Magic would mean fans go for one or two games and them go home again, the whole value as an event is the income it brings to the host city in extra tourist money, isn't part of the whole thing to make it a big event for fans and sponsors, gain some exposure and have a good time doing it?

Manchester, Leeds and other major North of England cities have plenty of opportunity to put RL to the fore, unless you drive past Headingley you'd not know Leeds were current champions.

Oh i do hope so.

Nowt wrong with deep fried haggis, not the most car friendly of foods afterwards though



The Argyle food stall in the fanzone looked damn good too but it was a bit of a walk between games from where we were.

How poor was Briscoe there?

Briscoe, England's full back, haha, oh dearrrrrr.
