What I don't like about the first day is the big gaps inbetween games. I've got a day ticket but I will just be going to the last game as I don't fancy waiting for over an hour between games and Wire v Widnes does not really appeal to me that much. If it was a saints v wigan or leeds v bradford then it might make me think differently.

same here, don't think much consideration has been given to the fans much for the saturday game, if you wanted to watch all 3 matches, waiting 70 minutes between games is far too long, can you imagine the mad rush to mcds' or asda near the ground! we will watch the cas v wakey game then head into manchester city centre for few hours then get back for the fc kr match, providing you are allowed out and back in! |

Same as what we'll be doing. I have absolutely no interest in waiting around for an hour to watch Wire put 60 past Widnes, then wait another hour for the FC match. |

And thats me been very over optimistic.
Hull FC have sold the most @ 3.5k, not long left for any offers from clubs and most people that are looking to go have already made the decisions and planned.
I also think the RFL have brought it to the M62 at a last ditch attempt to make it work; i see this been the last of these magic weekends and something else thought up.'" ]
I think even those figures are very generous. Obviously some people will choose to make a weekend of it but the vast majority will just buy day tickets and go and watch their respective clubs, which in effect is just like travelling to a normal away match (something two thirds of the clubs in super league dont do very well). Also each match is televised which will inevitably affect numbers. I anticipate poor attendances on both days. |

| The format just doesn't interest me any more, but I am disillusioned with Super Lesgue as a whole at the moment. I don't expect to see high demand for a set of repetitive derby fixtures in a league format that is increasingly meaningless.
In fact, and I never thought I would say this, I'll probably be watching the Aviva Premiership Grand Final instead.  |

Think if there's one person on the VT who shouldn't be picking up on people's spelling it's you. |

Possibly.
There was some good attractions around Murrayfield for the two years the weekend was there.

You are well out on this as Huddersfield are currently the 4th highest in sales. So some of the clubs you mentioned have not sold well or alternatively |Giants fans have come out in huge numbers.
Just as an aside we have sold over 1000 tickets for the Ctaalan game in France this weekend. |
