Really enjoyed it...despite Warrington being dire.

Had lots of chats with other fans in a good atmosphere...bumped into various natives including a very keen South Wales Scorpions fan

Only down sides were that various grumbling whiners did not attend...the food was not a patch on Murrayfield...and it was cold....

I enjoyed the masterclass in 'how to surrender a certain win' by the bulls

I enjoyed it , stopped in Bristol in a guest house just outside city centre and was excellent value for the money.
had some good banter with other fans with no hint of trouble in the ground or outside.

people who knock this event should actually come and try it one year cos its a great event and i hope it carries on for many years to come !!

It's not all about the attendance on the day. It's about media interest. Getting people talking about rugby league. Many fans dress the event as a success depending on how many fans are in the stadium. Surely it's about how many where in the stadium but also how many people watched the games around the country.

Loved it. As a London fan, 30,000 is a lot of people, not a few, and it was great to be enjoying games in such a friendly atmosphere. OK, some of the play wasn't great and I was lucky to enjoy the Quins game as a partisan rather than a neutral, but me and Master Sheen had a wondeful time. Roll on next year, and we'll bring some with us.

Those that say it's rubbish need to think about the 60,000 fans that have been and enjoyed themselves as well as those that have enjoyed watching the event on telly.

It needs a few tweaks but overall it's a great weekend.

We stayed in Swansea again where the nightlife is first class. Cardiff is much better than Edinburg as a venue.

Only criticism was having the Hull derby as the last game given the distance we have to travel. Some fans won't be getting home until about 1am.

It was decent, Stewards at the Stadium were bang on! Can't fault them. Enjoyed the banter with opposing fans outside the city arms on Saturday. Apart from some Welsh Rugby Union fan sat behind me moaning about virtually everything, talking over loudly so we could hear. What a Tos*er!

Another way to possibly increase the attendance is to make sure Championship, Amateur and Junior teams aren't playing on the same weekend.

CORRECT!

This is what i was saying last week but only Starbug was listening!

Its great its just a shame that people turn up for there own game and then go home or to the bars in town.

I had a cracking weekend. An hour away from Cardiff we got a call from the hotel saying they had overbooked & we'd been transfered to the 4 star Vale Resort with full use of all of the facilities, inlcluding gym, pool & sauna. Warrington, Leeds & Crusaders were all staying there, which made it even better.
Had a great night out in Cardiff & spoke to some great people.
Would like it to be a bit closer next time, maybe Manchester?

Despite suffering from a massive cold I had a great weekend.

Stayed in the Park Inn hotel which was only 10 mins in the taxi or bus so easily accessible. Hotel was spot on and the breakfast was superb.
In cardiff itself I thought the atmosphere was great. The stadium is a much better in both location and standard than up in scotland. Apart from handbags by some saints and wire supporters during the saints game there wasn't any trouble. I had plenty of good natured banter and chats with rival supporters.

Downsides for me were missing the wire v hudds game as it clashed with the derby and some of the lack of away support from the "bigger" teams.

As it was I got to watch 3 games of rugby on Sat followed by the first 2 on the sunday for free as the ticket price was included with our season ticket. Even if it hadn't we'd have still gone for the full weekend at was is a bargain price for an event of it's nature.

It's just a shame that the RL community can't embrace it that little bit more. If they did it would be a truely awesome event

I had a great time.

7 games with an average of over 8,500 for each game.

It is just sad that our game is hampered by Victor Meldrew clones that have the inability to travel outside of a 15 mile radius of their home.

People have mentioned having it up North at Old Trafford, Anfield or St James' park. I very much doubt those football clubs would let 7 games over two days on their beloved pitch and if it rains with no roof it would make it worse.

Also people say that it was empty and looks terrible. It could be played at a sold out venue but this would not change the fact the vast majority of fans only watch their matches alone and don't hang about for any of the others. Would Old Trafford not look bad with less than 20,000 in for most games by the time the tickets have been split 14 ways?

I prefer to look at the positives. 14 sets of fans mixing in Cardiff over one weekend and most having a good time. The one move I would make is moving it back to the bank holiday weekend. As far as I can see there is nothing wrong with the concept but the fans that can come and choose to stay at home because it isn't down the road need to look at themselves. A supporter supports. Choosing to stay away means you're doing as much as any football or rugby union fan in this situation, absolutely nothing.

Just a thought for those that want to move the weekend to a ground with no roof. If it rained as it did Sunday, but at Murrayfield or anywhere else without a roof, Rob Burrow would have been waist deep in the brown stuff come the second half of Leeds v. Bulls. Millennium Stadium is the only decent option as far as I can see and with our weather the only one where the pitch will be guaranteed to hold up.

If anything I'd say it'd be worse. So close to home people would be even more likely to just disappear after their game, or only turn up ready for their team to kick off.

I went for the first time this year, thoroughly enjoyed it and will make sure I take more newcomers along with me next time.
