About 8 0f us going, first one i've been to but was impressed with millenium stadium for the cup final great location plenty of pubs around etc

, only problem will be getting everyone out of the pub to watch the other games!

Thats part of the beauty of the weekend, you can decide to go watch in the ground or stay at the pub and watch there



Agenda for me

Saturday

Hudd v Wire - Watch in the ground
Cats v Quins - Pub
Cas v Wakey - Ground
Saints v Wigan - Ground

Sunday
Salford V Crusaders - Not sure on this one, will probably start in the ground and if it is dull wander off for a livener


Leeds v Bradford - Ground
Hull v Dobbins - Ground

Followed by celebrating on the coach on the way home or drowning my sorrows

Todays League Express quotes RFL as being 27% up on sales compared to last year

you might struggle there mind as its union 6 nations weekend and wales are away in scotland on the saturday. I know from experience most cardiff pubs will be full of welshmen cheering on the boyos. your best bet would be in walkabout bar as they usually have different channels on at the same time

We are only going up for the sunday, driving up in the morning and staying over to go out on the lash after the match, will probably go into the ground to watch the leeds bradford game first and i hope plenty of they're fans stay back to watch ours but a lot will probably leave to start the journey home i would imagine.

To be honest i misread the first post entirely when he said 5000 i thought he meant for the weekend

But still reckon there will be more than that who stay to watch our game. The biggest derby of them all should entice a few extra to stay at least for the beginning.

That claim about being 27% up on last season is interesting indeed and countered by the RL extending the discount deadlines, sending 'reminders' to supporters organisations across the north and tonight financing a big advert in northern ITV's fourth most expensive commercial break the 7-15 spot!

Folks are finding things a bit tough I think!

Or just not interested in this stupid event.

anyone else see the mellenium magic trailer on tv earlier dont know what channel or owt but good work from the rfl on trying to advertise it hopefully people will turn out to what should be a great occasion to kick start the season off. got told that ticket sales are 27% up on last year, anyone going this year

-1 here, the boss has put her foot down

Along the lines of 'you cant be trusted on away days'

A stadium that holds 80,000, i reckon you will be lucky to see 10,000 still hanging around for our game, 2-3K from Hull prob around the same from the Dobbins.
Time this event was knocked on the head imo

I couldn't care less tbh... as long as i'm there, FC are there and Rovers are there (along with Willie Mason and the Match Officials) so the match goes ahead, i'm happy. A few nice beverages then back on the bus to come home!!

I honestly don't care how many Warrington fans etc... stick around!!

I agree mate,cant wait

I hope the weekend draws a total of sub 10k, it deserves nowt else

pathetic raping of our wallets again

Personally, i like it and enjoy it quite alot. What i don't like is the blatant robbery that the hotel companies seem to be 'legally' allowed to do!!

Except the one i booked,as i booked it in nov



The price i managed to get is great considering ive got a all you can eat breckie inc on both mornings

Sounds like the dieting days are over Wolfie.

continental for me mate

Disagree, im another that cant wait, £170 for 4 adults for a full day out on the sunday.

That works out at £14.16 each per game on the sunday with free travel. Or £20 travel and £22.50 for the 1st derby game of 2011 at a great venue. Either way i wouldnt say my wallet has been raped.

Only things that would make this better is- us not been the last game of the weekend, and the fact it is 6 nations time and horrid weather in feb.

It sounds spot on mate and i can't wait. Just, given the choice, i would've like to have been in Cardiff ctr!!

once you have been round swansea city ctr mate u may just change your mind,its a great night out,plus you would of paid a lot more then you have now

Been round Swansea at 6 nations time before, it's mental! Gutted I can't make the 1st round, just too much money for me.

I don't doubt it one bit matey and like i say, the costs are waaaay to high this year for Cardiff... But it's the atmosphere around the MS during the day that i love!!

Anyone else just had an email advertising MM from Rugby League Tickets (The RFL)??

Have a look at the games listed......you couldn't make it up!
