Obviously not, but I can confirm that the last four late May bank holiday weekends which apparently are known to be a damp squid (whatever one of those is) have actually been glorious; added to this year's non-bank holiday on the same weekend - just offering facts rather than wives tales. It's not a bad run of weather. The point remains that the weather doesn't actually take a turn for the worse just becasue a day is designated a bank holiday.

Have you ever been?

Yeah went to the first two Cardiff ones.

At first I thought it was a great initiative, but it hasn't really moved on in 6 or so years, even moving it closer to the heartlands attendances haven't improved. My opinion of it has changed, I just don't see what its point is anymore. The overall attendance is lower than a normal SL round, I don't see how that is classed as a success.

The attendances haven't grown because in usual RFL fashion they've chopped and changed its location, time of year and format. Hopefully it'll stick in Manchester for a while now and be allowed to grow.

I dont have the facts but I would have guessed that far more people will have a stayed for the weekend in Cardiff than Manchester meaning that a greater number of individuals will have attended this year.

Its a great concept in my opinion and I cant understand why more people dont go. A similar event in rugby union would no doubt get 60k a day rather than for a weekend.

People have ago at the RFL and they have got a few things wrong in the past but this is something that they have got right although it could be better advertised.

From a Bulls perspective:

1 - The contrived extra fixture, between the team that finished 10th last year and the champions (is that fair?) gave us no points; our closest rivals for that 8th play-off place both picked up two points. Will that be the difference between a play-off spot and not at the end of the season?

2 - The game cost us 4 long-term injuries and a heart attack - that is five players unlikely to figure much if at all again this season, as well as a near-fatality.

I have always been bitterly opposed to contrived extra fixtures. This year, given the extremely precarious financial situation, this contrived extra fixture might just mean the end of our club. I detest the whole sodding thing.

Nothing to do with my post or the thread subject. Everything to do with showing what a nasty little piece of work you are.

Did I sink your Battleship

1-0 to Conroy.

And that is game set and match I think.

Basically what I was going to say. Where's the logic in "our club is skint, Magic could put us out of business" despite the fact that clubs make money from it?

May I also add that, in terms of the table, Leeds finished 5th. They were below you before the game, and you've already beaten them.

All in all, a completely unjustified whinge. Have you ever been?

One issue that they do need to address is how they deal with the situation where a club is unable to fulfill its fixtures, as is still a possibilty with the Bulls.
