No trees were harmed during the creation of this post.
However, a number of electrons were mildly inconvenienced.

2) MM will not be additional fixtures. They will be the 1st round of SL'"
Which is a 27-round league, meaning that they ARE in fact additional fixtures.
Otherwise, either Wigan or Saints would have to pass up a 14k (Saints) or 25k (Wigan) crowd, for a 1/6 share of the takings from a crowd of around 30k (most paying vastly reduced ticket prices anyway - e.g £15 for 3 matches = £5 per match).
Don't kid yourself - These are an extra round of fixtures that mean that our league can NEVER be a fair fight. |

Why don't they wait till the weekend before fixture is over, then play 1st v 2nd, 3rd v 4th and so on.

The only fair fixtures are based on this seasons final table, 1 v 2, 3 v 4 etc

It's the RFL, they're not interested in fair, they just want to get as many attending as they possibly can, in a vain attempt to justify its existence. |

Great weekend away to start the season BUT a pointless weekend to promote the game.
England v Wales in the 6 nations, Cardiff v Swansea both on the same weekend.

Stay away. Vote with your hard earned cash, and dont buy the tickets. the RL need a kick up the arris from the fans. We are treated like we mean and bring nothing to the game. We are a minor afterthought in decision making by the powers that be. The RL will carry on treating fans like this if we do not say enough is enough. We do not need this weekend, most fans i've spoken to dont want it anymore, especially on a non Bank Holiday weekend in the middle of winter.
Take off your i wont have seen any RL specks for four months, and ask yourselves why do we need this event, that in the last few years was failing anyway.
I love this game, but will not be taken for granted by the n0bs who run it.
If you are desperate for a weekend on the ale save your MM money and go to Catalans instead, a place where the locals do actually support and appreciate the game.

You could always decide not to go yourself. Why are you discouraging other people from going who will enjoy it?
Trying to get something cancelled that other people enjoy strikes me as a dour and miserable attitude. Lighten up. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

We've made the decision not to go. We've been to all the other four and enjoyed them, but I won't sit and watch all the games over the two day period, freeze my gonads off and get fleeced for hotel prices.
We may sod off to Tenerife and watch it at my mates bar. Failing that we'll put the money aside and have a couple of extra days away for the Catalan game.

Everyone has their own opinion and mine is slightly different to yours:
Do we need the MM weekend? No
Will I be desperate for a fix by then? Most definatley
Do I want a weekend on the ale? Why the hell not
Will I go to Catalans instead? Erm no I'll go aswell, becasue whereever my team play I want to be there and think you'll find many feel the same.
I fully understand your comments about the RFL don't listen to what the fans want but it will not and never will deter me from going to a weekend that I know I will thoroughly enjoy.
Unfortunatley we live in a country where the round ball is the national sport and try as we may this will never change.
Everyone has their own opinion but please don't try and force it on others

Same... Ive been to all 4 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will be giving this one a miss due to the reasons above.
For me they need to move the cup final forward to any weekend in July / August and have the MM on the bank holiday weekend in August that would be perfect. That way you have the weather and no other sporting event to compete with. |
