If I go to the GF I'll bear that in mind. Would probably stay over in Wigan anyway.

I don't think it is a conspiracy on why both games are being played on the same day. The Premier League are on international break so both stadiums are available that weekend. TV interests, for both competitions, Sky in Super League's case and ITV and their global broadcast partners for the RWC would dictate the games being played on a Saturday.

Most RL fans travel to Manchester and then home again on the same day. I appreciate that some prefer to stay over. The RFU have tried to sell ticket nationwide but I'll bet many fans in attendance at the Etihad will be rich middle class types from the home counties and surrounding areas. Many will travel on the train or in cars. I know that United's stadium isn't sited in the most salubrious area but City's ground is in a far rougher area. I reckon most England RU fans can't get out of the place quick enough.

And if you think that First Transpennine have some sort of master plan to cope with an influx of supporters, you're going to be seriously disappointed.
The way that they handled the RLWC Final crowds was an absolute shambles. |

The benefits of privatisation to the fore. You KNOW the right wing apologists will support the lack of service to the customer, as long as the imaginary concept of PROFIT at all costs is the reason.
The entire First group is the worst aspect of privatisation failing to provide, except to the lazy,get something for nothing, sponging shareholders, a service that is customer led. |

Same with Northern Rail. I quite often go to Liverpool on a Friday or Saturday night and get the last train home. It is invariably over crowded and often the police won't let it leave the station until they've added another couple of carriages, happens all the time. God knows what the situation will be in Manchester that evening. Last grand final they couldn't cope and we ended up missing our train home. It's only going to be worse this year with a RU international on the same day. |

| Quote Slugger McBatt="Slugger McBatt"If you're thinking of staying over for the Grand Final, prepare for a big hit financially. The hotel prices are eye-watering. The reason: the rugby union world cup.
England play Uruguay at the Manchester City ground on the same day and most places are full.
Maybe I'm cynical, but I'm convinced it's a deliberate ploy by the rugby union to take the gloss off the Grand Final. The only group match being played in Manchester is a non-event but bound to attract a crowd, and on the same day as the Grand Final.

You might get somewhere off the Rochdale metro line like the holiday inn in newton Heath. |
