So have they officially ditched just about the only good thing Championship Rugby had going for it?

Apart from Wembley, all the alternative suggestions were pants.

WE COULD STILL ALL GO TO BLACKPOOL AND TRAVEL FROM THERE TO THE FINAL

Just shows how the memory goes - back in those days we was a well supported team on the road (still are now but I suppose its relative) , must admit I cant even remember the Salford final !
I remember the Keighley game at Keighleys ground (probably the first sign Leigh was coming out of the doldrums after some really poor bottom of the league years) and the Hull KR match (we must have really outnumbered them as I can only remember circa 2-300 Hull KR fans in the left hand stand - some fighting amongst themselves !).
With whats going on we may see a record gate for the NRC as if Leeds or Warrington's reserves get their I'm sure they'll pack whatever ground they play it in

I do Jenky. Stu Littler made a right nuisance of himself and played a blinder for Salford both scoring and winding up the Leigh team.

Quite agree with theh sentiments on the whole threed - sad days.

The only way of getting Blackpool FC to reduce the costs is to get some compertion into bidding for the event. With Scarbourgh gone the only places on the east coast would be Newcastle, Gateshead or Cleethorpes (AKA Grimsby).

Need to get someone to bid agaist Blackpool so as to get them to reduce their costs. anyone up for a weekend away at the big market & quayside?

It would have to be at Gateshead Athletics ground as it would be like a ghost ground holding it at the whatever they call it now ground.

Apparently confirmed that the NRC final will be hosted by Halifax.

Confirmed where? Its not even got 4 sides

rlHererl. Think you're being generous on counting the Skircoat Stand as a third side!

Bloody Norah !!!!!

Sad to say Blackpool FC charged too much to stage the Final.

This has mean't the Finalists made a loss on the Final.

To have the Final back in Blackpool the footie club could always reduce their charge maybe this is a game off bluff and the ball is in their court now.

The ground doesn't have that cup final feel about it ,it should be a ground that we don't normally play at to make it special .This is pants !!!

Fair enough.

Either Widnes or Warrington imo.

Shouldn't be the LSV for obvious reasons we have to be fair to our opponents.

I agree with those venues.

This has just taken the shine off the final ,thanks to all concerned ,you have succeeded in demeaning the Championship a bit more .

The clubs chairmen actually voted for this Im told
