Summer Bash

[spanishknight]

July 30th/31st in Blackpool there's a chance it could be warm.

[spanishknight]

Who are you hoping we play at the Bash, I think we will get Fev, London v Eagles, Leigh v Widnes, Thunder v Barrow and Bulls v Fax.

It should go on league positions at the time would get more competitive games.

As a rule they first look at  local derby's then geographical location finally competitive games because in their eyes they will attract bumper crowds

so first it will be west yorks derby  B v P heavy woolen D v R 

geographical location the north yorks pair K v T 

Finally in their eyes competitive games  L v F  B v LB  W v S

For me the only thing that could change is if they think L v W is a local derby and F v S is  a yorks derby

too difficult to arrange , generally speaking people prefer local derbies , eg workington v whitehaven plus its the matches that produce the biggest crowds and a balance to keep as many speccies there most of each day

As George says difficult to organise, for example you would not know until the Sunday/Monday before whether you are playing Saturday or Sunday. Personally I would go with the league placings from the year before (this would give Leigh v Fev, Fax v Batley, Bulls v Whitehaven, etc.)

However assuming we go with local derbies/matches that produce the biggest crowds, then I think you have to start with Cumbria, where there are three teams to deal with needing a fourth with the logical choices being Widnes or Newcastle, so something like the following may work if looking at geography:

Whitehaven v Workington, Barrow v Newcastle, York v Fev, Batley v Dewsbury, Fax v Bulls, Sheffield v London and Leigh v Widnes. 

However if you want two big games / big crowds to end each day then this would possibly give:

Leigh v Fev, York v Bulls, Whitehaven v Workington, Barrow v Widnes, Batley v Dewsbury, Sheffield v London and Fax v Newcastle.

Anybody got a spare enigma machine handy

They'll be the usual complains with it been an extra game

Should be

1 vs 2

3 vs 4

5 vs 6

7 vs 8

9 vs 10

11 vs 12

13 vs 14

League places decided at close of play 2 weeks before the Blackpool Bash. 

Shame there's not a cup weekend before the bash then the tables wouldn't change

i was thinking newcastle , great city , plenty of accomodation but might look a bit silly with only 10k in a 60k stadium

[Stirlin]

Thing about Blackpool it was a neutral venue , cue moans and gripes if Newcastle got it.

[Fevrover]

It'll be Headingley.

Headingley would be a class venue to host it. Although I was hoping they would be hosting the Grand Final!

I like Headingley a lot but not for Summer Bash.

Benidorm, it's got plenty of hotels, hundreds of bars, cheap flights and lots of sun, what more do you need.

[DEANO]

Obviously it’s gonna be in Newquay
