Well if Toronto and another Championship team are playing then the Super League final would have to be played first because you would want to save the better teams for the last game...just makes sense. Both games should probably be at Lamport....supporting expansion and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this talk of Old Trafford should confirm why the Championship final should be at a neutral venue it would be exactly the same as they do for the SL final at a neutral venue. So to keep in line and in time honoured tradition play the final at a neutral venue wherever that may be - in the UK - after all it is the showcase event for the division, playing it in the UK would allow supporters of other clubs the opportunity to attend, playing in Toronto would somewhat reduce that opportunity.

Wolford6 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Toulouse are wobbling and catchable so the RFL's nightmare scenario of an all-foreign final might be avoided. Assuming that Toronto will get there, they won't fetch many fans to an away game. I can't see how a game on a pitch marked out for multisports in Toronto would give the RFL any kudos or much money. Seriously, Odsal would be a good choice for the final. RFL-owned; central location; decent corporate hospitality; 5000 seats; good playing surface, big carpark and right next to the motorway turnoff.

Until they spend about £20m bringing it into the 21st century, Odsal will remain a terrible choice.

I think Headingley would be the ideal location, followed by Doncaster, Leigh, Warrington. With respect, Odsal is an awful choice. It's falling to bits, looks terrible on TV and is not a pleasant place for the fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fairfolly Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Gav. I agree you did not say Bradford owned the ground,so who do you think should spend the £20 million to upgrade the ground or would you along with many others see Bradford go out of business because I can guarantee the Council will not pay the money out.So I would guess it would be up to the R.F.L. as they own the lease and should maintain the ground.If you rent a house and maintenance needs doing surely it is up to the Landlord to pay for the maintenance not you.

For Bradford, Odsal currently serves its purpose absolutely fine mate. My point was it shouldn't be hosting any kind of rep games or finals until it has been brought up to date by whoever is responsible for bringing it up to date. This year I'm happy for the Grand Final to go to Toronto (assuming they win the first semi). It gives 8 thousand or so brand new rugby league fans another big game to get excited about. Down the line I'd like to see the lower league finals day come back though, ideally at Headingley. @GavWilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulwalker71 Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 OK, can we NOT make it another threat about Odsal please.... ** yawn ** I think it's been stated already that it will be at the ground of the highest placed team, so the discussion is moot. But for a future year, I'd be in favour of a RFL finals day, with the Championship, League 1 and maybe something like the Women's Final or NCL final. But they need to get it announced early, promote it properly and make it a real occasion - something that the RFL seem particularly poor at doing. The venue matters less than having faith the RFL won't half-ass it. Anyone of Headingley, HJ or Keepmoat would be fine - but first we need a governing body who know how to put on an event.

Lamport Life Posted June 17, 2019 Share Posted June 17, 2019 Can someone please post proof of the numerous claims about the location? The RFL link only shows the format; it does not overtly indicate who hosts the final game. A couple of posters said it was in the League Express. If so please post a screenshot of the announcement. I have also asked on other sites and I have yet to see any verifiable proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
