An increase of less than 500 compared to last year? Hardly the record-shattering event the RFL promised. I wonder if the RFL even make any money out of it?

Newcastle for me. The amateur game in the NE is building and this focus, long term, can only help it. A fantastic city and location of ground, only 2 hrs away from heartland RL. The whole weekend is an event. Going to Manchester makes it a day trip. I'd make it Newcastle for the next few years. Book early if you don't want sky high prices

While I agree the crowd increase was nothing to shout home about, as has been stated Newcastle pay to host the event, and it is an entire extra round of income for the game, so yes they do make money. It also does get the game more exposure, reports in the newspapers were much larger than usual this weekend, links to the live scores were on the BBC sport homepage etc things we don't usually get for a normal round of games.

Hotel prices are only expensive if you leave it late, if your organised and book early it's not expensive at all.

3 of us stayed at Newcastle central travelodge and for 3 nights it worked out at £62 each.

Not so true.. I looked at hotel prices a few hours after the magic weekend was announced and the nice city centre hotels had already jacked up the prices.

You do realise that cities pay millions of pounds to host this event? It's not just some whimsical idea from the RFL to give a minor boost to the local semi pro team.

BTW you don't even know what Newcastle (not Gateshead) Thunder's crowds are, do you? Even though it's ridiculous to expect there to be any type of increase or even try to measure any increase based on a single one-off event, they could've received a massive boost and you wouldn't even know, you don't even know what the team is called.


yes i know the rfl gets money from it, so will it got to the highest bidder.... seems that way.

they get about 500... sorry forgot it changed to newcastle thunder, maybe if i saw a few more of their shirts at the stadium would have reminded me
