I was impressed with Edinburgh, but how big were the houses surrounding murrayfield? They were huge!
Anyway, what really annoyed me was the parking. I ended up driving 3 miles out and still saw cones in the road so I turned around and ended up catching lucky and parking on a road half a mile from the stadium.
Still, it needs decent parking for those travelling for the day via car.

Not been funny but i think the RLF should wake up and smell the coffie this event deas not work half full stadium freezing conditions and the worst thing for was 2000 drunks and not many family.From comming in the stadium at 1100 am there was very little to do apart from a few games in a feild.

| Quote: UllFC "you support a side that doesn't have a proper derby, so i don't expect you to understand. The hype that any derby generates in any of the RL towns which promotes the event even further and bigger crowds would have gone from Hull/Rovers, Leeds/Bradford and Cas/Wakefield IMO
and the football league playoffs are only 2 games on the saturday and the sunday, and neither of these generate a great amount of publicity. Last years league2 final was Stockport-Rochdale, do you really think the magic weekend can't steal some coverage from a game like that?
instead of it battling for coverage against a whole round of football league games, 8 premiership games, a ricky hatton fight, RU european semi final...'"
UllFC is spot on with his derby quote.
I could not personally in this economic climate, two weeks after a jont to Quins and Catalans 8 weeks away justify paying out to go watch Hull KR play Warrington yet if it was FC we were playing this weekend i would still do Quins and Catalans but there would have been no option on MM i would have been there if i had to rob a bank. |

This is going to make me sound really thick - but I saw the signs for the P&R but couldn't actually find it. I resorted to using a Tom Tom to get me to the ground and then went from there. |

Ah right. The one we used was at the airport. They should have given the postcodes for P&R's on the info to let people find them easily. |

 you would have driven right past it, over 1000 spaces at the airport (Ingleston) with a bus service right to the ground. |

| Quote: Glasgow Gal "What more would you want done for the kids? There was stuff outside in the fanzone why wasn't that enough?
Also for getting away during the day what was wrong with using the normal shuttle buses? We never waited longer than 10/12 minutes for one which is impressive given how busy it is. Why would the RFL pay for more buses when there's a perfectly good service already running?
As for the weather, it's cold in the shade that's to be expected. The weather was also warm early on which makes it feel colder later on - nothing a jumper and jacket wouldn't solve though.'"
the fanzone area was ok but we was there for 10 hours and the fanzone area was nothing like enough to keep the kids entertained,a few inflatable games cant keep kids happy. |

2) Standardise ticket prices at £20/£10- you could go anywhere with any ticket
'"
I must admit we were somewhat pi55ed off by the fact that we'd paid £50 for our tickets and once inside the ground they let people sit wherever they liked, so we ended up with people who'd paid for much lower grade tickets sitting where we were. Next year we'll be buying the cheapest possible tickets. |

Others seemed to manage and there was far more there than Cardiff produced, you had a fair idea of how long you'd be in the ground, what did you do to keep them entertained? |

Fair enough, I came in from the A1 and can't say I saw an airport either 
Fortunately, I'll be staying over next year rather than driving over for the day.

Personally I think if you take kids somewhere for 10 hours then you should take a few things yourself to keep them amused. i didn't take mine, but the kid in front of us had a few games in his bag.
I don't think you can expect them to provide anything more than enough to keep them amused between/before games personally. |

This also happened at Cardiff though, on the first year i won tickets from the local radio station and they ended up in the cheap seats but when i got there the stewards said that we could go join the majority of the rovers fans in the upper level as there was plenty of space.
So the second year we just bought the cheapest tickets and done the same. |
