for ease of access, the ricoh arena looks best, closer for all SL clubs and fans, with the inclusion of the coventry bears into the championship one next season, where better to attract new fans to our game!

...apart from the fact that coventry is a complete dump. I can think of no grimmer place to have a weekend away.

The stadium isn't even near the town centre.

Newcastle on the other hand is a great looking city with the stadium in the town centre itself and backed by a lot of nice bars and restaurants. Absolutely no contest - it's like comparing Withernsea with Monte Carlo !

Dont bregrudge anyone having a drink, Depends what the rfl want, a rugby weekend for families and fans or to look after the p!55 heads?

There's a lot for families in Newcastle to do and caters for all fans in my opinion, as said parking is the only issue but it's only a small inconvenience

If going for weekend Newcastle is great ,travelogue near Tyne bridge near par everthing

Surely the idea of this concocted weekend (apart from a Sky w@@@ fest) is to get all supporters together for a rugby feast. Why the need for "family attractions" the games take up most if not all for families, of the day. No further time for trips to amusement parks and theme parks. Or am I missing the point entirely?
As for pubs the same applies.
I hope it's more Coventry way as I might just make it. Newcastle is way out of the question for me. But that's simply a selfish personal point of view.
Given the Bears are entering the league I would say that's a better option. Equally given all the grief with the Ricoh stadium of late I bet its dirt cheap to hire. It needs filling and using.

Time to bin it off. Only a copuple of years ago our "top" players were complaining of too many games, this was before the extended 2015 season

I know what you mean. Monte Carlo is a complete dump.

St James last week in May

Great news, hope we can get the locals to support a different kind of Black & White too!

You should have great support, it's virtually a home game for your lot!

Was up there last week , Great place to have Magic weekend .
