why not at Blackpool as part of the Northern Rail Final Weekend ??

How can the NRC Final be a part of a Championship MW?!

i think from peoples responsers on here it would work.odsal would be my prefered choice.or what about a football ground like bolton (the reebok stadium) thats a fantasic venue.

I'd rather give my money to a RL team than a football team. I think Odsal, it's a dump, but if it's going to start making the sport some cash it needs events held there.

You're playing the weather game with Odsal. How many fans are going to stick around all day if it starts hammering it with rain?

On the flip side, if it's a scorching hot day, it would be a great setting. If a bit more cover was offered in case of rain, it would be ideal.

Fair point.

How about Doncaster, I think that's a great lil venue to play it at.
Or, make the magic weekend the last 16 of the cup, always Chp clubs involved so they could mix and match plus relieving SL clubs of a fixture.

Looking at the current level of attendances in the Championship, Batley or Dewsbury would be plenty big enough

A bad idea

I've suggested using MW as the last 16 in the past. The combined total attendance for this round is usually around 40-50k, so it wouldn't need a great deal to be worth more to the clubs. It makes the competition fairer by taking away home/away advantage, and fans KNOW where they will be if the progress.
Held on a bank holiday weekend, it could go down a treat IMO. Should do the same with the QFs.

why are all rugby league fans so obsessed with attendances.this is not a dig at you pesonally.just fact.

Because attendances [ ie the number of people at matches ] generally means a better atmosphere at the games , and therefore a better experience of attending the ' event '

This applies to all sport , it's what makes us want to go

Come on now Steve, you must know from the posts on this thread and the one for the Anglo-French 'tournament' that SL fans know what's best for us Championship minions.....

Reverse snobbery in full flow here...

It's a terrible idea. Next one please.... Generally RL fans stop for their teams game and naff off, have seen this on GF days. No thanks.. leave that waste of time and finance to the SL boys and concentrate on something a bit more viable.. such as subsidised travel for away fans that would help to provide atmosphere.

Not at all ..........Its just some of you lot are full of hot air and p*ss...
