I reckon this is a great idea. Ive just had my stag do in Cardiff as i loved it down there for the challenge cup finals. Had a great weekend and the pubs, people and atmosphere of the place is sheer rugby. I happen to dislike rugby union a lot but I must admit it was great to be somewhere and not be blasted with premiership football from every angle. Itwas also a nice surprise to see Celtic kits feature very prominently in the sports shops as well as a few aussie club shirts.

If they do play the semis at the millenium, i'll be there. (as long as Leigh make it!)

hyma biggun who sticks up for a little un:



Quote: Birstalltiger "Cardif whats the point they could not even half fill the Stadium with 12 teams there 4 going to be worse stupid idea an idea with is own intrest at hart.
If it is a 2 yorkshire team which it will it should played in yorkshire and if it is 2 Lancs or Cheshire team should play over there.
And if it is either Catalan Celtic or Quins they should play at a park feild then they might fill it.'"


I have to say that you are totally wrong to say that the MS and the neutrals could not fill the stadium for MM. The 12 SL teams could not fill the stadium. Blame the fans for not travelling if you want someone to put the fault on. I would like to know if you actually went to the game or are one of these people who blames everyone but himself.

Quote: sogspurs "I think the biggest hurdle this idea has it getting the BBC to show 2 games of RL in one day, not impossible but unlikely.

I reckon we would have a much better chance of getting them on board if the CC Semi Finals were a week before any soccer season started. As it is 8th/9th of August will be the first weekend in either the English Premier League or The SPL and the English Football Leagues.

We have to avoid these to have any hope of taking up most of a sporting saturday afternoon.

As for the location, it shouldn't matter that its not on the M62 somewhere. It should help to spread the game.

Though saying that for this event I think City of Manchester Stadium would be ideal. Promote the game more in Manchester, and put a plug in for Salford as the Reds hardly sell out every week, even if it just helped get a few more on there gates each season it would be helpful for them. and the reason I say help them is because Manchester is still up north enough to make it easy for the majority of RL supporters to attend, and could still use some help getting hooked on the greatest game.

*Also the size of the stadium seems ideal'"

Have a lok at the television guide for the 4th round and you will see that the BBC are showing a double header

This is Poorhouse Lane. And this is Neil, the rovers supporter who leads an exciting double life. For when Neil sponsors RLFANS an amazing transformation occurs. [color=#80BF40:1y1okols]Neil is Cabbageman[/color:1y1okols]. Ever alert for the call no injury too small! [url:1y1okols]http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Cabbage%20Man[/url:1y1okols]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_19862.jpg



The key for the double header at the semi's is that you get to see the team your club will face if they get to the final so it would have a lot more draw to it then MM where there are just 2 league points on offer. I like the Idea of the COM perhaps Bramall Lane could be could be big enough, I feel Cardiff maybe just out of reach unless some very creative marketing was on offer for passholders (2 tickets for £20) or something. Again these deals then help clubs marketing season tickets each year.
