Are they allowing it this year as even the most die hard fan will find it hard on the Sunday to stay watching 4 games of rugby league for that long.

I hope so.

The stadium is a fair way from anything tbh, they provide wristabands to go in and out with (or they did last year)

I was hoping the website would have had all this infirmation on it. It's a bit rubbish though.






Now The Wire.

Hopefully they have a smart event manager running the show...

If there is nothing around the stadium, surely temporary bars, food stalls and a general entertainment precinct has been set up?

The Roseburn & Murrayfield Bars plus several hotels are only 5mins walk from the stadium, so as long as they let us out it shouldn't be a problem.

Maybe it is all set up to keep fans in the stadium for most of the games unlike the last two years.

If they haven't got fan entertainment and I mean adult fan entertainment(pubs, food etc - just thought I'd point out what was meant :) ) then it is going to backfire big style as a lot will shoot off back to the centre after their match.

Hopefully all will be revealed before we head off to the land of the mince filled sheep stomach.

If they want to be pulling non fans to this event, they need more then just 7 games of rugby to gain the attention of the locals.

Sports fans may attend, but creating a real 'event' feel to the weekend will attract many more through the gates. I doubt they would have thought about this angle.

Yep, they confirmed a good while ago that they will be creating a fan village outside the stadium, including refreshment areas and an entertainment venue.

I agree, but this is the RFL mate.
