Wolfette Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 As this is the 2nd year at Murrayfield I am sure the RFL are already looking at venues for next year. I loved Cardiff, but am not too keen on Edinburgh. But where would you like it to be next year. I wouldn't mind a trip to Dublin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teessidewire Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 I'd hold it on the Whit Bank Holiday, charge ?10 per day and use the City of Manchester Stadium. We would easily fill it. The problem with Dublin is the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Ive a good idea lets do away with this badly supported farce for good. Having barely quarter filled stadiums miles away from RL heartland and then televising it aswell is a crock of the proverbial if you ask me. Expansionism sucks and will never work, lets get back to basics and make this great game as good as it can get in the heartlands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree with this, but the RFL will still go ahead with it next year I'm pretty sure...So on that basis I would love it to go to Dublin or even back to Cardiff. I know where your coming from Teesside it does get expensive, although we set up a little savings kitty which helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 It is well past its sell by date and is an expense that most fans can't afford. There is certainly no magic in the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gary Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Cantilever Park! If we can't host it maybe at Old Trafford just to upset Fergie! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oli30045 Posted April 27, 2010 Report Share Posted April 27, 2010 Going back to Cardiff would be good for me, I enjoyed it better, the location of the stadium is much better. Either that or somewhere down south, Twickenham maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 It is well past its sell by date and is an expense that most fans can't afford. Apparantly over 2,000 tickets were handed out free in Glasgow and Edinburgh in an attempt to increase the attendance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted May 2, 2010 Report Share Posted May 2, 2010 it's a gamble wherever it is staged , But London is a non starter as only Wembley would do and the CC final can't even get a full house. Now Dublin is a rugby loving city but very very expensive not just to get there, but once you are there as well. Manchester is easy to get to and prices are reasonable + no overnight costs but for our expansionista dictators will not fit the bill as an expansion target. So I think they will take the easy tried and tested Cardiff route which to me is not to bad an option just for now anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fat belly Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 St James Park at Newcastle would be a great venue. A great stadium which would not look stupidly empty because it only holds 51k, plus the town of Newcastle is a great place to visit. Manchester would not be good the City of Manchester stadium is about five miles out so getting 20,000 people from the centre of Manchester to the ground would be a problem. London, no way keep that for the Challenge cup. Dublin, would be a great venue but getting there would be a real pain. Birmingham at Villa Park same problem as Manchester. Cardiff, a lot of people like Cardiff but it doesn't do it for me. So a trip to Newcastle would be my choice, it would have to be done on the Bank Holiday at the end of May so it would clash with the football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latchford Locks Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 just been checking one of the most important details "beer prices" and have found that ............. http://www.pintprice.com/top10affordable.php well thats that Tadjikistan it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevo Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 I would love a one year visit to Dublin if not back to cardiff i went both times to murrayfield there was no atmosphere really most people i spoke to were of the same opinion. Cardiff certainly had the magic factor about it and a good mix of fans having banter Dublin is a fantastic and friendly city fair enough it is expensive but at ?4 a cheeseburger so was scotland. Newcastle would be a viable option aswell but they would have to move it to the end of may to avoid clashing with wendy ball and give the pitch time to recover Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfette Posted May 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Edinburgh was a very cold wash out for me too, bottles of beer ?4, food expensive.....I did enjoy myself but its what you make it I guess. I would not return to Edinburgh for another Magic weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
