You expect cheap hotels when there is an event on?

There are still rooms to be had a decent rates, book early enough and you'd have got £19 rooms at Travelodge and £29 rooms at Travel Inn.

I never said cheap I said full price.

Even the travelodge are which are £70 every weekend up till MM weekend when they now range from £107 to £170.

Its bad enough paying £19 in some of those let alone over £100.

Never heard of Travel inn guess you mean Premier inn. The £29 doesnt apply for a one night stay.

How do you figure? Of course, players will be given an hour to prepare.

I think it would be fantastic. The Royal Rumble of Rugby League, as Wheels described it.

Of course they are, there is a big event in town and it is a bank holiday in Britians second busiest tourist city, you don't expect them to slash prices on one of the first busy weekends of they year do you?

Quote: dids858 "Even the travelodge are which are £70 every weekend up till MM weekend when they now range from £107 to £170. '"


Yup, they are. But if you'd booked earlier then you'd have got cheap prices, same as Ryanair or Easyjet, the busier they are the more it costs. The date has been known since the last one and confirmed months ago.

Quote: dids858 "Never heard of Travel inn guess you mean Premier inn. '"


Ah, they were Travel Inn then Premier Travel Inn now Premier Inn, same thing.

Quote: dids858 "The £29 doesnt apply for a one night stay.'"


You could have booked two nights for less than the price of one, again you'd have to book early.

Cheap prices were available, many here have got good deals, just because you didn't act quick enough doesn't make that untrue, people are not gonna hang around waiting for you to book you've got to get in first to get the good prices. The same applies for any other city, in fact Cardiff was worse for hotels.

More tries scored in a weekend than the SRU can muster in a decade?

Mmm, I can't imagine how the usual suspects here would have reacted if there had been a six nations ad at one of our test matches...

Make it winner stays on, like a royal rumble stylee.

The team eliminated first gets 1 point and so on and the overall winner gets 14. It's all in the luck of the draw because if you are drawn first it means that you have to play in, and win, 13 back to back games to get the 14 points. You heard it here first. icon_smile.gif

Judging by the advert in League Express, it's a play on Wacky Races. Either way, it's a bloody awful idea to promote an event that is struggling to catch the imagination. There's nothing Wacky about it, it's an important fixture!

Personally, I think we'd be better detaching it from the SL fixtures and either have a 7s/9s tournament or a cup round there. Or even have a League Cup competition and have the final there mixed in with a 7s/9s like NRC.
