I really think the RFL are missing a trick with this. I went a couple of years ago there was a decent crowd, but it was lost in the vast expanse of Headingley. It was a good night's entertainment, but needed developing and filling out a bit.
Tuesday evenings are OK for the qualifying rounds, but the finals should be on a weekend afternoon or bank holiday. It needs to be cheap an cheerful. It should be billed as a family festival gala and have lots of events directed at the kids, maybe youth/schools teams competing too. Someone with some marketing nous could make this a winner.

I definitely think a smaller ground may be the way forward, and yes the final would be better played on a weekend if poss.
