| I've been to every one apart from this year. Edinburgh isn't a bloody patch on Cardiff. Bet I'm not the only one (although still thinking I might just nip up for Saturday lol).

"South Wales" in itself didnt work. The weekend was a success for two reasons that Murrayfiled doesnt have..... 1. Albeit the wrong code, there is a rugby base in the valleys....2. To all intense and purposes the games were being played at what was effectivly the national stadium (home of the FA cup).
For the events to be a REAL success it needs to stay easily accessable to the heartland of the supporters.

Good idea. Or Elland Road, you would really get a huge crowd for any of them three IMO.'"
Yeah i agree , but i just wonder what the fans reaction would be if as a one off next year they put it at Wembley then brought it to say liverpool ,leeds or manchester after that .. I would certainly go.. and i'm sure you would get a good turnout from fans that are unlikely to get there with there team for the challenge cup final .

I'd definatley go and it would without a doubt rise the attendances up.

| Instead off moving from A to B all the time why not just come up with a different concept. Just for one weekend say if you score over 40 points you get a extra point,so if you win and score over 40 you get 3 points instead off two.Even if lose but still score 40 you get a point.If the Rfl are adamant in moving around the British Isle then and Football grounds would need to be used when the football season has finished.You see manure letting a rugby league team use they pitch then the week later they have a title decided,which if they lose we all know who Fergie would blame it on.

| Moving from Cardiff to Edinburgh.. Error
Stopping the derbies... Error
Edinburgh is a trek and not that great a city IMO. Like many people though, I've been saying I'm not going for the last 12 months, but I know come Friday, plans will be in place to go one way or another.

When they said the weekend was being played in Scotland, I was hoping it might have been Glasgow. Prefer it there than in Edinburgh and Hampden is a tremendous stadium.

Never been to Glasgow, but it's still a trek either way. I really like the concept too.. really like it. The single biggest mistake though was the fixture changes. Granted Wire v Salford still exists but the juicy games like Wigan-Saints, Leeds-Bulls, Hull-KR were worth making an effort for.
Now..
Wakefield v Saints
Hull v Quins
Castleford v Catalans Dragons
Damp squid. Wet fart, call it what you will. It's hardly "must see".

I agree, the bet place was Cardiff, ideal situation for access to the ground, (not got that horrendous trek to the stadium in the middle of nowhere) It's easy to come in and out between the game if you want to, every thing you need is around the ground, and would be great to get the derbies back. All told that would attract the crowds back. I know the supporters I knock about with and other supporters I talk to all prefer Cardiff.

Much easier to get to from this side of the pennines though!
