I made a typo then, I meant the 2nd bank holiday weekend

and yes some people don't like having a derby on neutral ground, but I reckon a lot of that would have been due to the ridiculous schedule of having 4 derby's a year, so it felt like there was a derby every 6 weeks or so. I'd be happy with 3 derby's a year, even despite Hull's woeful record against Rovers!

Are we now really that stupid that we think the general population of either the Rugby League fans or the poulation of Scotland give 2 hoots (Pardon the pun) about the English Championship Play Offs? So it could be moved for the far supierior weather 2/3 weeks later. (PS Scotland being a cold Rainy Place as compared to the tropical climes of either England or Wales is an absoloute myth)

There is no way on gods green earth either that yesterday was colder than any Grand Final ive been to and ive been to a few. But hey thank god the welsh can control the weather by shutting a roof, that must be one hell of a central heating system.

I remember when the Grand Final was touted by us the fans as a no go and that it would never sell out, well they now HAVE to use Old Trafford due to sales and i have never been to a half full Grand Final and i dont even agree with the premise of it.

People will always moan but i think you will find that the Majority of the moaners are those that travelled all that way to watch their team lose and the ones who loved it like myself came home victorious.

A special bus from the town to the stadium & back would have been nice
More going off outside the stadium ie fun & games for all fans like Its a knockout comp
And stick to the Derbys

north stand and east stand north stand lower was full of drunks of Hull there was bunch people dressed has Clowns making t-ts of them selfs.East stand was not that bad but outside the east stand Hull kr and Wire fans was haveing a comp who could through there mate down Hill in to the food van i do like a drink myself and had quite a few myself but i did not make a t-t of myself.

Yeah actually i forgot to mention this and as such forgot that the whole weekend was a complete washout as such.

Due to the title of the thread we could always make MM better next year if the fans dont drink nor do they interact with each other in a way that offends the hollier than though mob.

Hull KR and Wire fans having a laugh together and FC fans enjoying themselves on a weekend away what is this bloody world coming to ????

Its a disgrace i tell thee!!!!

put this way i can safly say i could drink with most of them but going over the top when they was throwing the smallest down are hill injurying most who went down it believe me i probery done a lot worse than that at a match but come on it supose to a family day not an excuse to be a t-t.

If you did a full circuit of the stadium you'd have found -

Burgers
Hot Dogs
Pies
Fish (burgers, sausage etc) & Chips
Doughnuts
Indian
Chinese
Mexican
Baguettes
BBQ
Steak Sandwiches
Sausage Sandwiches
Sweets
Coffee
Sweetcorn

What else do you want?

The only thins that i could think were missing were Hog Roast and Jacket Potatoes, Veggies could have been slightly better catered for but it kinda knocks Cardiff's catering into a cocked hat...

Now you are talking tripe greame, i remember quite clearly paying £3.50 for a slice (Yes one slice) of pizza inside the millenium stadium now thats value.
Funny how i dont remember any other catering other than the ice cream vendor outside at Cardiff but i had been on a two day bender throwing Wire midgets down a hill. And laughing at Hull FC Fans dressed as clowns.

3) Would put MM in school half-term. Possibly a good idea. Worth checking compettition from other sports. Apparently may day saw a big run in Edinburgh, so compettition over accomodation.

5) Makes sence, though possibly have 4 games on saturday and finish with a game that KO at 8pm or so.

Thats fair enough then. We didn't walk all the way round the stadium but stayed up at the south stand end. The only outlets we saw there were the burger/ hotdog/ steak sandwich and drink stalls.

As for the Hog roast we got that in Edinburgh on the sunday
