NCL voted with SL apparently

Two of those three don't get to vote on it

Erm...they don't need to, they won on Saturday 😉

Unsure to be honest

Yep..... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._J._Giltinan_Shield

I think a bit was made of it a few years ago (2015, I think) when the final fell on the 120th anniversary of the split

Might be worth reading the article then....England, not English

So, to address these problems, what are the reasons YOU didn't go? Genuine question...

And if you want to go, the finalists wont be an issue....FFS I'm an Oldham fan! 😱

And to be fair, that is completely your choice that you are choosing option 1. However, we know a year in advance when the CC Final is, so pre-booking and taking the so-called hassle out is easily achievable

I genuinely think the holiday reason is a bit of a red herring, as parents especially will be unlikely to be on holiday, due to costs soaring during school holidays, and particularly due to August being the hottest month in most of Europe. There are gigs events on most weekends, so difficult to compete at any time. Same for football, and the wedding 'season' runs pretty much early April to late September, sports pretty taught avoid that too.

People will still provide excuses as to why any new/rearranged date is unsuitable for them....

Well, why would you if you are going from York? 😉

Due to unforeseen circumstances, Ive got two spares on the 40m line, row 15. Only downside is you'd be sat next to me 🙂

I'm going, as usual....due to unforeseen circumstances, got two spares if anyone is interested? On the 40m line, row 15
