Celebrating 25 years service to the Rugby League Community! |
| Quote: Alan "There is - at Blackpool!! Encompassing the NR Cup Final, and NR Nines!'" And a better 'cheaper' weekend away that 'over priced' Edinburgh No better place for RL than Blackpool in the sunshine (or equally Leigh in any weather conditions )

the magic idea has lost its novelty value, and now people can't be bothered going all that way for a normal league game.
| ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Don't see the point of it anymore. Just play the 26 league games and have an extra week free for internationals or start the season a bit later, or reduce the easter programme to one match instead of two.

Quote: Alexs Dad "Folk can use all sorts of numbers, all I saw was a mostly empty stadium all day which is embarrassing for the game.'" We can always try the alternative strategy of holding games at a small stadium in Yorkshire/Lancashire, we can all stand around and stare shiftily at outsiders who we suspect might have not watched the game before At a time when Union are holding big games at large stadiums and trying to make an event of it, the RFL have quite correctly deduced that we need to do something similar to try and generate more interest. Yet there's almost a palpable sense of glee at the thought of just packing it all in, forgetting about more media exposure and just returning to the heartlands so we can accept the status quo.

Would probably be better to play some BIG games elsewhere as the extra match. Say over 3 weekends in the year play a big game like Wigan v Saints or Leeds v Bradford somewhere with another game as the curtain raiser like Wakefield V Salford or Castleford V Catalans.
