How many fans would want to sit in a stadium for 8 hours in February.

That's why it has to be Cardiff. Some of us barely survived Edinburgh in May, February is a quite frankly frightening prospect.

It was.



Early 90's you say, I wonder which team won it?

I'd rather have another Test match TBH.

Most definately... it'd look a lot better on TV which would allow it some time to grow.. it should be the season opener for me...

I remember been there at Wigan I think, but can not remember who won. I didn't think it was Leeds, and would guess at Wigan. But really having a memory brain fart here.



I still liked the concept though and would like to see the game trumpet something similar. Headingley is the absolute perfect venue for a tournament like that.

Yup. Id agree with you there. On both counts.

I've always like the Idea of doing it in the North East, 1 day in Newcastle and 1 day in Sunderland, both good size stadiums, both good to go for the weekend (well Newcastle anyhow) and they are drivable in a day if you only want to go for the day.



Plus you get the whole area involved rather than just one city.



Just an Idea

Move the challenge cup final back to the start of May (rather than have it drag on all year) and have it on August bank holiday.



Or scrap it.

If it has to be played and you want a big crowd, it has to be the first match of the season, so that means it has to be enclosed, meaning Cardiff.



A nine tournament could then be shoved either in the middle or end of the season.

Being.

It was held at Wigan and like you I was there and like you I remember Leeds not winning it and probably Wigan being triumphant, just for a change.



Don't we already have a Nines event held annually at Headingley? I'm thinking Hull and Huddersfield were the winners in the last two seasons. There isn't much spectator interest in the event though so not sure if it's got much of a chance being expanded or remaining viable on the calendar. And that goes for the M-Magic weekend also.
