Millennium Magic Saturday

[deluded pom?]

45,000 would far exceed any ESL supporter's wildest dreams in this country realistically. I don't expect that many people. 30,000 would be my expectation.

I know people heading down who plan to buy tickets at the gate. In the first year of this initiative, it doesn't have to be a sellout to be a success. I think 30-40,000 each day will be a good result, with hopefully a sizeable crowd for Celtic Crusaders at Bridgend on the Friday night.

My tickets arrived in the mail today - pity the poor fans who smoke and may not have realised Wales started their public spaces cigarette ban earlier than England's proposed July 1...

Have a great weekend, i'd love to be there for all 7 games.

 

[brendothejet]

enjoy the weekend guys and may it be the start of something truly great for Rl.

 

[S.S.T.I.D]

45,000 would be phenomenal. I'll be keepig my fingers crossed that the weekend accomplishes everything the RFL hopes it would.

At 10 pound a ticket for concessions for both days, there should be a big crowd. It costs more for a single SL game doesn't it?

I wish I wasn't in the middle of a university semester. I would of seriously contemplated heading over.

Ill be there in 2009 , how far is Cardiff from say London anyway?

 

[St.John]

45,000 expected on 1st day.

Where did this info come from?

That would be a fantastic opening day for the concept.

Just been looking at getting to Bridgend for Friday night's game - it's only a 20 minute train from Cardiff, so hopefully a lot of people who can make it down by Friday night will head across and give the Welsh club some boost from all this. They're hoping to break the record NL2 crowd of 3,224 held by York-Hunslet...

Not too knowledgable on concession costs, but that price bracket would be about the same if not a quid or two cheaper than concession entry for some club grounds.

Just over two hours by train. It's four-five hours train from the north - enough time for a decent snooze.

Heres a link to a great story and what RL means in the city of Hull, plus the impact of the Paul Cooke saga.

I wonder if that journalist has ever been to Hull. A very vague image of the city I live in. He wants to see some of the houses and districts in the west of the city that he describes as "posh".

 

[RLIF]

Meanwhile the RFL have confirmed that the roof of the Millennium Stadium will be closed at all times during the two day event which is on track to attract 50,000 supporters over the course of the weekend.

 

[RLIF]

Tickets continue to sell well for the six-match showpiece in the Welsh capital, with the RFL’s ticket office reporting a huge surge in demand this week.

thats not too bad at all kinda like from the blue mountains to sydney...

 

[RLIF]

32,384 for the first day

 

[Evil Homer]

Great atmosphere outside the stadium today. It's hard to go anywhere in Cardiff without seeing RL people. Superb event so far.

 

[brendothejet]

fantastic stuff guys. Enjoy the weekend and have a beer for me.

 

[langpark]

Seems like it was a great day of footy, with the highest winning margin being 14 points, and the other games only 4 points separated them. Great to see Hull KR still kicking, that's a huge result for them.
