I really don't get the 'double-header' obsession. It's nice enough in the summer when the sun is shining, but who in their right mind would want to sit in a dark, cold stadium for over three hours in the winter?

And without Mummy to hold your hand, too!

To be fair I somewhat agree. For the WC semi final double header most people disappeared after the England game, I left at half time of the Aus game. I think they dropped a bollock a bit with putting England on first. The magic weekend is great when loads of fans are piling in while a game is on.

There will always be the hardcore, who put our coats on and pack a flask of hot vimto; but, I don't think the concept particularly enthuses the uninitiated.

Does anyone know much about Coventry? I had a quick look at hotels earlier, but is it somewhere I would want to spent a night on the town?

Been for football and from what i remember, there was a shop, some small business and some houses across the road, nothing in the way of pubs etc, might have changed now though.

Why dont we as supporters just do our best to try to sell out everu game. We have our part to play in growing RL.

Agree, this is the right attitude

Stay in Birmingham. Not far on the train.

I will probably go back same day as it's not a long trip by train from London. If I decide to stay over I will stay in Birmingham though.
