No campsites open (how many of us stayed at Trecco Bay last time?), Valentine's Weekend, places guaranteed to up prices (take my word for it it's my wedding anniversary and it happens every year) and a normal weekend when everyone has to be back at work/school on the Monday. Imagine having that last game on the Sunday and then having to drive home and get up for work the next day. Had it been a week later it would have been half term and I'm sure more people with kids would have gone if they didn't have to have the kids back at school on Monday. All this is without taking the weather into consideration, we had heavy snow around that time this year, could affect travel arrangements for everyone.
Well there's zero chance of me staying in a tent, camping it up? Much more likely.
They'll hike the prices anyway, and as for Monday work, forget it!
It won't snow, I can feel it, it'll be lovely, al fresco boozing in between games, get in!
I do realise that I'm in a fortunate postition to be able to afford to go and have the flexibility take more or less when I like off.
Maybe the week after would have been better but then The RFL would be facing fixture pile ups at the other end of the season in the run up to the Four Nations or whatever we're having that year.
I'm already 99% certain that I'm going.
