Quote: Standee "I think the RFL are more concerned about the fact the competition hasn't got a sponsor yet, May is a long time away, we're not talking a CC Semi-Final here, we're talking London v FC, it affects about 8,000 people maximum, hardly an urgent issue.'"
Yes, understand it isn't a CC Semi-final, but its not your average '2 hour max travelling' game up the road either is it? (from Hull anyway). Even I live in Portsmouth but I want to go relax, have a drink, enjoy the match, and stay over for the night wherever the game is eventually held. Its not unreasonable to assume that the longer this decision is taken, the likelyhood that hotels/accomodation near by to the venue will be getting booked, thus raising the price of the remaining available accomodation. Just would have been nice to have booked our accom and train tickets at early rate prices.
Anyway, I e-mailed Gus Mackay, CEO at the London Broncos, and have received the following response,
Dear Paul,
Many thanks for your email and appreciate your concerns. We are in the process of finalising the venue a hope to announce the plan for the final on the road game before the end of the month. This will give fans almost 4 months to plan.
Kind regards
Gus
So, we will have to be patient for a few more weeks yet!!!!
