Keep the idea, but change the venue and go back to derbies.

in my opinion if we want to promote our game it needs to be where some kind of interest is there for the oval ball sport , twickenham for me with ticket deals for all union season ticket holders

Move it to Eire for a couple of years and that way you can kill it off once and for all.

Looking at the crowds (sic) I would say its becoming an embarrassment, the people who support the sport week in and week out are clearly now avoiding the weekend. Its time to ditch it and come up with having one or two games on the road in say the midlands or North east, nothing massive just an odd couple of games. Clubs involved could be offered extra cash for having games on the road, some clubs may like/or prefer this.

Maybe we could give it a couple of years in say Dublin and if it still isn't making huge strides just go back to the 'on the road' games we used to have, but have say 2 games in the same ground

ok radical thought

ditch it for SL but take all the cup quarter finals to somewhere, or even both the semis, guaranteed bigger crowds and a more excitement for neutrals?

What is wrong with holding the two semi's as a double header as well? That lind of event would make a great road trip to take to some of the places people have mentioned.

What about trying for St James' Park?

Slightly smaller ground and nearer to the heartlands so easier to fill and Newcastle is a good night out.

Let Gateshead play a home game to make it 4 on each day and help to promote the game in a non heartland area where there's a stuggling semi-pro club with a big catchment area.

I usually run coach trips for these sort of events but couldn't gain interest this year because it was Edinburgh. Last year we had a lot of problems getting into the pubs in the area. Even Danny Houghtons 75 year old grandmother was refused entry for no apparent reason.

I've just spoken to Wolfie who's there now and he tells me its exactly the same this year. Last night was so bad they ended up just going back to the Hostels early and watching TV.

I know from people that come on my trips that if the event was moved back to Cardiff id fill a coach within 5 minutes.

Take it back to Cardiff and move it to later in the summer months ie August. Play the games on a 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th basis decided just a week before.

This event still has a place in our game. Promote the game better and earlier and give each club a target of tickets to sell with no sales available on the day.

Just bear in mind looking at the current poll results that many of people up for these events will still be at the event and not have voted on this poll.

Keep it, just move it further South closer to all the clubs. As already suggested, East Anglia or as an alternative, how about Midlands Magic?

2 at the Ricoh Arena, 2 at Walkers Stadium, 2 at St Andrews and 1 at Molineux?

People wouldn't have to worry about accommodation as it's near enough to the Heartlands but also within driving distance for more fans from Wales, more fans from London and also probably easier for Catalans fans to get to?

Just got back, but I only went to the saturday games and didnt stay in Edinburgh
It was a fantastic day, atmosphere great, banter with different clubs fans and there wasnt a gap in the entertainment for over eight hours, amazed at how few attended
all that for £15 - excellent!
