I was sat a few behind you, we moved after the Leeds game to get abused and threatened by the HKR fans.....great stuff.

The only other place I can think of is Newcastle.

but that is a final between 2 teams not the whole league which makes it more marketable and the press don't like stepping out the M25 if they can help it so im sure they'd put a bit more effort into it only downside is it can only start after football season is over

| The various "Ghost Tours" in Edinburgh are good. Didn't do one this weekend, but did last time we went in December, very entertaining. Generally they go through a walk round of the city, going through the history, then go underground into the vaults, with more history of it, then stories of the ghosts and legends and stuff.

Its alright Arsenal's season is usually over by April anyway.
I think its a good idea and could raise awareness of Rugby League within London, hopefully meaning an increase in support for the Harlequins. Plus there's about 500,000 aussies in London, surely a good few thousand would attend if the event was well publicised.

Anywhere in London could well mean not seeing another RL fan anywhere other than inside, or immediately outside the stadium. I've never been, but as many have mentioned Newcastle is there anything there other than pubs and the stadium? I'm not aware of any stadia in the South West that would be suitable.
Other than Cardiff or Edinburgh, the only viable alternatives that I can see are Paris or Dublin (as my sister lives there, Dublin would be my favourite).

Mille or Lyon would make more sense in France due to the South being more into rugby league than the north (irony or what)

I forgot you'd said you were going to be near us and didn't see you - you should have said hello.

With you on that, both Cardiff & Edinburgh have now proved successful. Even though the capacity is way over sized for us, it gives people the opportunity to wander around as they please.
Would be good publicity to push the event more around the London area, but can’t see it making as much impact as the previous two venues. Plus the whole occasion wouldn’t seem as big in a city the size of London. Whilst in Cardiff & Edinburgh, it had the feeling of something ‘going on’ and everywhere you looked had various other RL followers about. Maybe the event could switch to & fro from Cardiff to Edinburgh, gives people the opportunity to go back to what they enjoyed (or not so, in some cases
Did many of you go for the reserved seat option or not? Seemed like the east stand seemed to be the best place for the sun on both days (we had to wait quite a while for it to come round to us in the south).

A few rows in front mate, tried to get your attention...you were looking well considering you'd just ran 10k.
