Thanks to @welshmagpie for the excellent report. I was there too. I set off from Wrexham at 1:30pm and parked my motorhome directly across from the Gnoll in a small car park as I couldn't find anywhere else for a local stop over. I decided to risk staying there rather than having to move after the game and trying to find somewhere else in the dark and wet! I last went to the Gnoll in 2013 for a South Wales Scorpions vs North Wales Crusaders game....not a lot has changed...maybe the stand had a coat of black paint but agree with John Kear - its a proper rugby stadium with a list of captains many rugby clubs would die for. The only thing magpie didn't mention was the food truck - they did an excellent special - beef, onions and hot sauce on chips. Lovely!

I was at the game too 1,299 was the announcement at the stadium but I thought it looked a few more than that. Good effort by Neath and the WRL to get the game advertised and attract a decent crowd on a Tuesday evening in awful conditions. The game itself turned into a knock-on-athon; only to be expected when the ball was like a bar of soap. Brilliant to see Wales playing again - the last game was 2 years ago in World Cup 2022. Lets hope we get back to regular European games each autumn again.

Probably only 3 teams near the M62 in League 1 - Rochdale, Hunslet and Goole...I suppose Keighley is next nearest then Dewsbury ....and Swinton could come down but that would mean Keighley or Hunslet would be promoted. All other teams are a fair distance away. It must be daunting (and costly) for Cornwall to have to travel to Newcastle, Workington, Goole and Whitehaven for 4 of their away games in 2025!
