Cant see it being in manchester , as it rules out the purpose off it promoting rugby league accross the u.k. Would love to see it back in cardiff or even a 'Wembley Weekend' The thing about if it was in manchester is fans may just go and watch there team and there team only and once there game has finished go home

The majority of the fans do that anyway.

I believe this season is starting early so that next season can start even earlier to accomodate the world cup at the end of that season.

It's this kind of attitude from RL fans that mean the RFL just cannot win, and we may as well just stay in our own own towns in the North of England.

It is 1 mile from Murrayfield to Haymarket (basically the start of Edinburgh City Centre).

It is just a further half a mile to Princes Street, one of the main streets in Edinburgh.

There are plenty of pubs right outside Murrayfield, and you can either take a 20-25minute walk into town afterwards, or jump on a bus for £1.30.

I went to a 6Nations game at Murrayfield earlier this year, and whilst the sport was dire, it was enjoyable to spend time with Welsh and Scottish fans who were happy to have a drink, walk the dreaded 1.5miles to the ground, watch the match and then walk back. Tens of thousands of them did it without moaning, and in extremely good spirits. It was possibly the most enjoyable part of the occasion if I'm perfectly honest!

Manchester or cardiff would be fine as long as it in summer when it is warm enough that you freeze to death like cardiff in february

Pointless having it a Wembley as it is too big a groung like cardiff and defeats the point of the challenge cup part of the challenge cup is earning the right to play at Wembley

there is a maccd and a big Asda opposite the stadium if you want to do the weekly shop

and next to the asda is the national cycling veledrome if you fancy a little bike ride

That would have been my choice, and not because I only live 40 miles from Newcastle. My idea was to have a Gateshead game at the International Stadium on the FRiday night with just £5 admission, followed by 2 days of SL at St James Park. It would have been a real boost to the game in the area.
Having said that, Manchester is a good choice. We should get close to a sellout for both days.

Should be Cardiff in Febuary again!! so i can have my Stag weekend at the same time!!!

Very selfish i know, but would be an amazing stag weekend!!!

Any chance they'd have it in Magaluf about June time next year? That would be my stag.

sure do!
