Next "magic weekend" to be staged in London

Quote: gutterfax "Toughie this....but it could be done.
Second May Bank Holiday and either Wembley (maybe a bit too big to start with) or a 40k/50k wendyball stadium.
Late May gives the pitch plenty of time to recover before the ladies start kicking it around again....so no pitch problems there.
There are no shortage of cheaper hotel rooms at the wekends in London. Regardless of where you hold it, people will complain about the cost of a hotel room......you get what you pay for IMO!
Travelling from anywhere along the M62 to London has got to be easier than to Cardiff.
SELL THE BUGGERY OUT OF IT!
I agree with the earlier posters comments about the RFL not knowing how to promote their game properly, but If the Union Lot can fill Twickenham on boxing day or whenever for a single game of union (not a final, Not a double header, just a normal club game) then surely we can fill a 40 or 50k stadium in the capital.
Also, if it were to be played in London, maybe some of the 1,000,000 League fans that the RFL live there might roll up too.......just a thought.
Oh,,and free pies and strippers too
I agree with most of this. The only trouble with the May bank holidays in London are that the early one is still the football season and the late one is playy off finals season. Thus ruling out Wembley as I can't see the FA allowing 7 games on the first weekend just weeks before their finals programme which also includes the FA cup in the intrim period.
In terms of football stadiums which I assume you would be talking about as they are the only ones with suitable capacity. Early May is out due to football season still on. Arsenal's stadium would be my prefared choice. Its straight up from Euston, St Pancreas and Kings Cross on the tube. Also allows for overnight stays in cheaper and rural Hertfordshire if you don't want to stay in London. I just don't see an overly sensitive local community allowing for yet more disruption to their lives. I say this from knowledge having worked at the stadium and knowing what had to be done to placate the locals, as opposed to a random statement.
Spurs ground is not the best and only 35,000. Its not the best to travel to and does not have a great deal around it if you want to nip out in between games.
Upton Park, who knows what will happen to that now, but its got the same problems as the area around Spurs ground.
Chelsea's ground might be a starter, nice area reasonably good transport links, just very expensive area for accomodation and food and drink.
I can't see any other ground being suitable in London either in May or any other time of year, at least unil the Olympic stadium is built. Though lets face it with all this garbage about stadiums going under if the are multi purpose (Thats the talk from the Spurs camp and football journalists who have some fancyful blah about no atmosphere with an athletics track) the Olympic stadiummay just be an attractive concept. Though way out in East London it isn't going to help Quins in West London.

Has anyone thought about next years CC Final. Planned for the middle of the Olympics when Wembley is being used for football. Are we likely to have to go on the road ?
