Scrap it, its a horrible, cringeworthy money making disaster. Half empty stadium for every game, no atmosphere and too expensive. Rubbish.

It is the 27th game. A game that's not needed nor wanted.
Scrap the whole idea! Back to derbies too, another failed idea that's being flogged to death.
Cardiff in February? Snow, fog, torrential rain, it will really be fun for those who go there.
After this it won't be too long before they cancel it!

| Quote: bikerpie "If they make it a derbies weekend, then it ought to effectively be one of the regular 26 rounds, and scrap the 27th game. Evens up the fixtures so nobody gets a "free & easy" game, leaves an extra weekend for a meaningful warmup game for the internationals (whether that be roses game, SL v overseas or whatever). Everyone's a winner then (apart from us freezing our nuts off in Feb!)'"
That would mean one of the "derby" teams giving up a home game once every two years. Can't see any of the SL chairmen agreeing to losing one of their biggest gate receipts of the season |

[quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

Who would drink lager in Dublin? You've never tasted Guinness stout until you have drank it in Dublin.   |

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 |

I've been to all of the magic weekends and always enjoyed the occasion if not the results. However I will not sit for two days in Cardiff in February.
The clubs need to petition the RFL to top this stupid idea before it gets off the ground. It maybe an idea for us all to e-mail our clubs to tell them of our thoughts.
Surely the RFL must have e-mail addresses, post codes and / or telephone numbers of people who have bought tickets for big events before. Why have they not consulted the fans?
It's madness.

Totally Agree. I have been to them all and really enjoyed Cardiff and maybe not as much Edinburgh but there is no way I am going in Febuary.. It was cold enough in Edinburgh this year to dampen the atmosphere.. It will be even worse in Febuary. If they are going to do it in Febuary make it local.
How many people will have the money needed to finance a trip in Febuary so close after Xmas?
Not me thats for sure.
 RFL... what a crap organisation! |
