Yet another genius move by the RFL. I'd love to know the logic behind that.

It's only a year, Cardiff and Edinburgh have been done.
It can't be Manchester as we use one for the final and the other is out of action.

Elland Road forget it, so you have options of

Ireland- wouldn't work.
London- Challenge cup final already there.
Birmingham- Only Villa Park is viable
and then we have
Newcastle

Ah yes, I'd forgotten about this. Hope it comes back though, enjoyed the last couple of years. Suppose it depends on how next year goes...if there are poorer attendances there's not many better places to hold it, so I would expect so.

I'm sure it's back in 2016, not to worry.

Newcastle is well known for being a party place, I would imagine the singles 18+ and those leaving the kids behind for the weekend will travel in numbers.
I'm sure there'll be enough do to for those travelling with kids.

What about Wigan or Bolton, just the right size in my opinion

Personally of cancel it altogether.

Rugby League supporters will moan no matter where they play games. Because they are negative moaning people.

I think it will be good up in Newcastle, Liverpool would have been good too.

Well I'm already going, just waiting for all the official stuff to come out.

I'd imagine Newcastle has been chosen as it's a popular place for 18-24's to go and get p*ssed since the rise of Geordie Shore and other related sh*t that's all over tele.

I'm sick of hearing people go on like it is being held in John O'Groats, how will this sport ever develop when people start hyperventilating if required to travel further than Leeds?

Manchester and Liverpool both have an hourly train direct to Newcastle, there are loads from Leeds for supporters from Yorkshire. The drive across the A66 is stunning with some great places to stop and eat.

It's hardly like crowds at Eastlands were a huge increase on Cardiff.
