Do you really think alot of people are going to want to do this? You may get a lot of holidays, but some of us dont and dont want to waste them because the RFL insist on us all going down to Cardiff in feb.
Quote: Homer "Lots of supporters currently watch games on a sunday then have a long journey back home...........sorry, meant to say lots of supporters of the 3 non heartlands clubs have to do this, as well as having to takes days leave on Fridays in order to support their teams.'"
Yea your certainly talking about alot of people there.... unless im mistaken quins, catalans and crusader take sweet FA anywhere they go. |

Will make next to no difference. Still that won't stop you having your usual argumentative whine.
This is a really good move by the RFL IMO.
Its outside of the tourist season (believe it or not people do holiday in Wales!), so any effect in the increase in hotel bookings for dirty weekends will be countered by that - its just outside of bleak money less January, so everybody is dying to go out and do something - its the first game of the season, so interest in the new squads will be peak and the media and forums will have had months to build it up.
I expect it will put 10 to 15,000 on the daily attendance.

Like you said it's about opinions. Whether Quins Catalans or Crusaders fans number in their ones or thousands is immaterial to the fact that every season sometimes they have to use their holiday allocations in order to watch their teams play on Fridays or Sundays, makes them no less supporters than any other teams fans.
Taking a days holiday on the Monday is an option, it's six months away so no biggie to book it either....... |

If you're a rugby fan and your partner gets stroppy because you want to go to MM on Valentines Day then IMO you're with the wrong partner.
Honestly people, don't you realise how lucky you are that you get to go to such great weekend event? A whole weekend of TGG. All those rugby starved people gathering for the start of the new season, no form established so anything could happen. Sounds bloody marvellous to me. If I didn't already have plans for a return to Europe next year, I'd be highly tempted to fly over for this weekend.

It's also a bluddy late Easter next year [week before the May bank holiday] so this provides a nice break between the two holidays. |

Think that is very optimistic but we will see. IMO the total attendance will be pretty much similar to the previous weekends in Cardiff. |

i like the idea. i like the sound of starting the season with a bang. i'll probably go. feb is a bit strange tho. we were promised summer rugby league, and knocking a round a stadium for 7 games worth could be a bit much. i like my league, but its a lot, with nothing that the "summer experience" could offer. i can see a lot of folks in the boozers while some games are on.

| It wouldn't matter what the RFL decided, when they decided to hold the event, or even if they cancelled it altogether, they're gonna get roundly bagged on here whatever the decision. But moaning because it's "Valentine's day weekend"?? FFS   |

Well yes, but it shouldn't matter that people in East Hull that don't have a job don't have holiday to take.

Splitting my sides
My reference to Valentine's Weekend was that hotels up their prices, it happens every year whether you celebrate it or not! |
