Moving a bit closer to home....... news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/rugby_l ... 819616.stm

I think we may well get more supporters per day, but less going to both days. I'll only go to the day WTW are playing as,for me, it's not an event now that I don't go away for the whole weekend, which is a shame as I loved a weekend in Cardiff/Edinburgh.

what date will it be?

it will be after the football has finished i imagine. otherwise the pitches would get ripped up

2nd/3rd june we booked room at holiday inn near ground £46

Would of preferred it to be further away as its normally a really good weekend away. But I reckon it'l do the job the rfl want it to do now its closer to home.

more people will go though in fairness. i will go hopefully if i can. only the day we play though

Depends when Jamie Peacock wants it.

My birthday - good excuse to bugger off for the weekend.

Big mistake by the RFL if confirmed, but will be portrayed as a success for attracting a bigger aggregate crowd than Cardiff or Edinburgh (conveniently ignoring the fact it's in the "heartlands" so an easy day trip for all except Catalans).

It'll still be too far to travel for the Fartowners.

Aye, Halifax was too far for most and Galpharm is too far for many

Anyone fancy cycling there from BV for some appropriate charitable cause?

We could even go via Dewsbury, Batley, Hudds, Rochdale and Oldham, picking up other RL bicyclists on the way and arriving at the stadium en-masse; a load of middle-aged fat blokes in lycra would be a cracking showcase for the new, modern image of RL.

Makes sense but its sort of admitting defeat to the theory of expanding the game though isnt it.

Its now on the M62 corridor along with all its existing fan base.
