Quote: Wellsy13 "Double Header at City of Manchester anyone?'"
Brilliant idea as long as the BBC would go along with it.
We should all email the RFL.

I thought about a double header but to me the City of Manchester is too big even if they make the tickets pretty cheap.

In a perfect world you'd be looking at a ground thats a decent distance from all 4 clubs that holds around 30,000.

The Reebok would seem a good option but somebody mentioned they have a freindly there on the Saturday so it'd have to be Sunday( if at all with it being so close to the start of the Premiership i can't see them wanting a rugby match on it).

That in itself rules out all possibility of any games at the Reebok, Eastlands etc etc. One at Widnes, one at Warrington.

10 weeks - should be enough time from Nobby to try 4 or 5 more half-back combinations and 2 or 3 more hookers!

I dont think it would be too big. We took like 14,000 to Warrington for the cup semi against Catalans so I am sure we could take a similar amount to Manchester. Saints and Wire would also take huges amounts with a good few thousand, you could easy fill the bottom 2 sections making it look full on tv and just having a few in the upper sections when the rest of the tickets run out.

Well the total attendance was only 10,218 for that game so where did the other 3,500 or so go?? icon_lol.gif

But the Widnes ground according to there web site only holds 13.500 so i dont think it would be big enough for us and Wire this time round plus its not that easy to get to

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

There were only around 10,000 at that game and Wigan probably took 9,000 of them.

10,218 was the crowd. 9,500 must have been Wiganers.

Sorry I just was pretty sure it was full, didn't look at the crowd, but still 9,500 Wigan fans is good.

If we have enough of those wanting to go ti the semi final against Wire theres going to be quite a few dissapointed people because Widnes won't be big enough.

Gunna be on the ball getting these tickets.
