| Quote ="Mable_Syrup"I loved it being away, I saw it as an event, something to plan and look forward to and went for the whole weekend, now its in Manchester I'll only go for the one day. The trouble with RL in general is that we NEVER stick with a concept for 10yrs or so to make it work. IMO it would have eventually taken off in Cardiff if it had been paced in this slot from Day 1 rather than the 1st BH or 1st game of the season. It is invairably warmer than early May, kids dont have to be in school on Monday and as someone alluded to the atmosphere was brilliant. If it becomes a success in Manchester i'd hazard that these reasons all contributed rather than it being in Manchester.'"
You're right about one thing, the RL never ever stick with anything.
I'll start the list with... War of the Roses

| I don't mind the venue - I do have an issue with the concept though; the manufactured 'derby' games don't work and give some teams an unfair opportunity to pick up 2 easy points.
There are numerous ways to produce some interesting draws for the weekend, but I'd prefer 1 v 2, 3 v 4 etc etc; given that it's something of a showcase event for the sport, one would assume that tough, competitive games between close league rivals would be an attractive proposition.

Doesn't work - the games would be as close or one-sided as they are for the derbies. Teams change in performance from week to week, month to month - never mind year to year. Besides, who better to beat than Cas!

| Loved Cardiff & Edinbrugh. Manchester just doesn't have the same appeal for me. Fingers crossed for Catalans during the summer

| Really loved it last year in manchester, although Caridff was good also.
Sun shining, beers aplenty, and beating Cas.
Cant think of a better day.

You mist the Wakey v Cas game when we put 50 pluss points past them then, the atmoshphere was great, we had the second largest following that year mate, its the atmoshphere round the ground and in the pubs that does it for me, Manchester is just a day out and not the weekend.

| it's just not the wembley weekend. Which cannot be beaten. I've been to Cardiff, enjoyed it, but is a damp squib compared to Wembley and 2 nights out in central London. BRILLIANT!

| As much as the idea of the weekend is potentially a good one, sitting in a 3/4 empty stadium with no atmosphere takes everything away from the experience for me.
