Because it meant we were playing 4 in a season. With the league now a simple home and away structure an extra derby would be fine.
I was about to say that a draw is the only fair way to do it, but actually the only "fair" thing would be to not have them at all. As it will skew the league standings anyway they might aswell make them interesting games like the derbies and attract more fans to the event. |

Indeed I was just going to state the same thing re over doing it with 4 in a season.
However with the so called un-friendly derby next season it would mean once again overkill with 4 times in one year. I bet Huggies won't pull the plug on next years friendly either, like he did the other year over money. Think he'll have to take the meagre few quid Kath gives him and like it He'll just rake in what he can before they go to the wall KR Crusaders does have a ring to it

=#0000FFThere's a few pubs around the area, not on the scale of Cardiff though. They were packed last year with fans who were either; waiting for their game, or who had already seen their team and had snook out or left for a pint or two.
Also can you drink alcohol in the ground/at your seat etc ?
I=#0000FFn a word, 'Yes'

Totally different experience to Cardiff, not as good in my opinion but still a great weekend and afterall what you make it.
Pre-match all the drinking is in Edinburgh then a taxi ride (about£7) to the Stadium. You can drink inside the stadium and theres plenty of good old fashioned catering vans. Quite a carnival atmosphere as you go through the turnstiles with many staying there until their team was playing.
One bit of advice id give if youre anywhere near the top seats of the stadium take a warm jacket no matter how nice the weather is we were freezing!!!
If you're planning a boozy weekend aim for Princes St and not The Grassmarket! |

can't see this being well attended at all, recession, dull line up of games, novelty of Edinburgh wearing off means it'll be an empty ground IMO.
hope those who are going enjoy it...but I can't say the prospect of watching another Hull-Quins game makes me eager to go.

Salford vs Crusaders
Wakefield vs Castleford
Bradford vs Huddersfield
Hull FC vs Hull KR
Catalans vs Harlequins
Warrington vs Wigan
Leeds vs St Helens
Now that would have got the best turnout and also had the most evenly matched games.

Difficult to showcase and event when the locals dont even know it's on. The guys in Edinburgh that work in the bars near the stadium didnt even know it was on otherwise they'd have gone. |
