A wonderful tribute!

I know he supports Warrington but I think there’s a chance he’ll watch other games when possible.

The chances are that Adam Hills will be a regular attendee at matches and not just the big occasions.

I accept your point but Magic Weekend venues have generally involved a decent amount of travel eg Cardiff, Edinburgh and Newcastle. Tottenham is not that far from Wembley so the same problems re cost apply. I did say that “maybe the love affair with Wembley is over for fans”. I agree its quite possible that if the final moved to a northern venue a good number of people would not attend because it’s not Wembley. Either way it’s a problem that needs addressing.

Regarding yesterday’s attendance; maybe the love affair with Wembley is over for fans. I went yesterday with my wife and two grandchildren at a cost of over £400 pounds for the day. I’m sure others spent a lot more. The question is where is a suitable alternative? Man City’s ground holds 53,400 and Liverpool’s just over 61,000, for example, so if held at either of those stadiums the attendance would be less than yesterday but at 100% of capacity.

Sometimes the smallest men are the bravest. Rob Burrow encapsulated that in everything he did on the field in his wonderful career and off it in his battle against MND. A very special man has left us.

Receiving the ball after scoring.

I think it was brought through the suggestion of Greg McCallum, the Australian referee, who was Director of Referees in England in 1995. -
Greatest Players to Never Play at Wembley
Jinking Jimmy replied to Mumby Magic's topic in The General Rugby League Forum
Swinton had a tremendous side in the early to mid sixties but never made the CCF. In addition to Gowers at full back they had a threequarter line of John Speed, Bob Fleet, Alan Buckley and John Stopford, players who could have played in any team in that era. Their captain and loose forward was Albert Blan who was a match for anyone at the time. -
