Seems like typical short-sighted decision (presumably Anfield/LFC bid the most) by the RFL. If you want to put it in RL heartland do it properly and put somewhere like Leeds or even back at the Council House (City) - that way it is easy for most fans to get to and you make no attempt to really grow the audience.

If you want to take a risk and try to grow the audience then why not London - perfect timing with Broncos being promoted back to SL - lots of ex-pat Aussies/Kiwis etc but needs a lot of promotion.

CC Final clashes with creamfields, that definitely impacts Warrington's ticket sales.

I’m sure that virtual any reasonable date will clash with something somewhere. In which case it becomes a question of where your priorities lie. Sometimes choices have to be made.

Very true, but there sometimes its a bit different when it's right on the bloody doorstep, in which this case it is.

You've obviously got too many interests, you should get out less.
