Is there anything to do around Coventrys ground?
I'd be happy with Newcastle tbh. It's a good night out and the stadium is ideally located. It would certainly be a good weekend.

The depressing whine of the Midlands meeting the unrelenting moaning of RL fans?
Thanks but no thanks.

Newcastle is the ideal choice, slap bang in the middle of one of the biggest party city's, and not far up from the M62.
also as the ground has several tiers, it'd be quite easy to sell the bottom tiers first and make it look full.

If it has to be before the split then going to a town with an expansionist Championship club makes sense, so Coventry and Newcastle both make sense
Ideally they should make it a three day event after the leagues split (a day each for SL1, SL2 and the Championship). It would give us another club rugby free week in the year and take away the imbalance in home and away fixture after the split.

I've been banging that drum since the split leagues idea was first proposed, but the RFL seem adament that the MW will be an additional, 23rd pre-split fixture. The one potential downside of a post-split MW is the fixtures couldn't be sorted until the last minute, but I think that's better than an extra fixture which could play an important role in deciding relegation places. |

Newcastle is a bit of a trek for the lanc clubs but still the best option by far, and a hell of a good night out!

The Hull clubs have had to trek to Cardiff for a few years, so its only fair we get something closer to home. With Rovers having links with Gateshead and HullFC ahem having Geordie err heritage it'll be like a home from home! |

Surely it has to be Coventry, Newcastle might be good for a up but Coventry has the better stadium for what we want as RL fans and is centrally located for pretty much all the teams and is accessible by road extremely easily.

Well you may throw your rock and hide your hand
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_67329.jpg |
