Salford is the same postcode!

One game in a blue moon does feck all to promote 'the game' in London, Manchester or Timbuktu. Feck all. FFS, most of the population of Manchester doesn't even know the Grand Final is at OT and it's held there every year among (allegedly) great fanfare.


Most of the population support United and therefore know the Grand Final is going on at Old Trafford. Espeicially when i keep going on about it!

(PS. the 'Manchester is full of City fans' is a load of nonsense. I work there and it isn't true)

Disagree. I'm a United fan and unless I attend OT I see very, very little promoting the GF. There's no reason why the average United fan would even know the GF exists and it certainly does very little to promote 'the game' in non-RL areas.
Manchester is overwhelmingly a football city. Areas around Salford, Swinton, Oldham and Rochdale have a small RL scene, but other than that rugby normally means Sale Sharks.

So explain if its so difficult for parking, how did Cas manage to get 100 coaches around it then when Jungle subsidised the trip.



A Premiership side will not allow a game to be played on the pitch if it really doesn't have to



Yes, and take it away from the major population of Aussies and Kiwis living here :roll:

Am I correct in thinking these venues have been announced earlier in the year than has been the RL custom in recent times?




And I thought I'd read that Craven Cottage can't host anything other than football now. Can the Quinze contingent clarify?

Private hire coaches were allowed to use part of the Dome carpark, you are not trying to equate private hire coaches with public transport are you?

Never heard anything about that. I would have thought that if the owner of the ground wanted to host morris dancing on the pitch they could.

you did also say: "forget about parking".

your latest post implies that there is sufficient parking, so which is it?
