Copa Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 It’s a great idea. The game belongs to everyone and the GF should move around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MattSantos Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 If you've the stadia and the demand from those governments with said stadia, then yes, move it around. Why not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crashmon Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 all sports are going to maximise income, not just the NRL.... I can see the Champions League final played in Saudi \ UAE \ Qatar at some stage in next 5-10 year. RFL should be looking at this approach, not just "are you within 25 miles of the M62" when looking at grounds for events 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I hope the RFL don’t get wind of this, it’ll be at LSV every year. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whippet13 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I think the SLGF location would be hard to sell as due to (current) Sky TV scheduling on a Saturday evening it needs to be close to the heartlands, but the CCF location could more easily be put out for tendering.

This shows us just how low the RFL and RL is in that if you take the game outside the M62 you will struggle to get any interest. So you have to have it in M62 area to get a crowd, but then you limit how much broadcasters will pay for it as it has such a small demographic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wembley has the contract until 2027. But, after that, who knows? Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.

Number 16 Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Knowing the RFL, any town that can put a couple of posters on the side of the municipal garbage trucks is in with a chance of hosting the CCF. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
