Bullmania Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Gutted this ainβt in Blackpool always look forward to the weekend away in a neutral venue. Can see why not all York fans be happy thatβs what itβs meant to be a weekend away. wonder also the reason why itβs been moved from Blackpool I get it season just gone fixtures moved forward and Blackpool was playing at home that weekend but this year they shouldnβt have a fixture.

DEANO Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Pointless round of fixtures at the home of one of the teams taking part whilst York races is on.

Blackpool fc doesn't want RL thats pretty obvious, York was second best choice, simple if unfair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB Knight Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Iβm sure once the dust settles people will enjoy the day/weekend here, I think it will be a success if the club (and council) plan it properly. Some of the comments have been ridiculous though - Iβve read some people say it shouldβve been taken to Fleetwood (2672 seats) or Morecambe (2173 seats). A lot seem to think the LNER is miles away from the city centre, itβs 2.5 miles away, not a bad walk with pubs along the way and thereβs buses every 10 minutes. I even read one Castleford fan say thereβs nothing for kids to do around the ground! Thereβs lots of parking, which Iβm sure can be pre booked or plenty of free spaces in the local area. Yes, York isnβt cheap and itβs race weekend so rooms will be snapped up but thereβs lots of accommodation in the wider area.Β Β What were the alternatives apart from scrapping it which wasnβt really going to happen - Iβve seen people suggest it being tied in with Magic weekend and played at Manchester City with the SL teams playing at the main ground and championship teams at the reserve/womenβs ground (1.9 miles from Manchester centre) or the same setup at Newcastle with championship teams playing out of Kingston Park (about 5 miles from the centre).Β 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand you wanting to big up your ground's connection to York city centre but a Metro system with trains capable of seating 100+ people plus 500 standing beats a park and ride shuttle bus any day of the week. Having said that, your kind offer of a helicopter service for the Bash is noted and appreciated Edited November 17, 2022 by Dave W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fax Machine Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Don't know what the general feeling is amongst Championship fans but so far the feedback in Halifax seems to be split between just going to the Fax v Batley game or giving it a miss all together.

If all they do is put some games on and hope people come, then I don't expect it'll be any sort of success. If they put on a proper RL festival with other entertainment & facilities that makes it worth attending, then it could be great. 4 http://www.alldesignandprint.co.uk Printing & Graphic Design with Nationwide Service Programmes |Β Leaflets |Β Cards |Β Banners & FlagsΒ |Β Letterheads |Β Tickets |Β Magazines |Β Folders | Brand Identity plus much more Official Matchday Programme Print & Design Partner to York City Knights, Heworth ARLFC, York Acorn RLFCΒ & Hunslet RLFC Official Player Sponsor of Marcus Stock for the 2020 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely the RFL have rented the ground from the council/stadium Co for the weekend? Edited November 17, 2022 by Les Tonks Sidestep 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
