because the cround will be smaller for the earlier games, knowing Wigan bring most fans, play there game last, so they are there for all the games durning the day. making the att look bigger.

Well spotted and it needs to look bigger. Last years "success" had an aggregate crowd of about 58,000 I think.

If you played a weekend of derby games like that at home grounds instead you could add 20,000 to that figure.

If the RFL get similar crowds again I am sure they will again point to the aggregate crowd and say its a success but now the novelty has worn off I'd expect a few critical comments from the journos start to creep in.

Of course it could be a big success with an increased crowd but somehow I don't think this will ever match the crowd you would get for the same matches played at home grounds.

I'd also like to know if this means we play Saints four times again because if so the sooner MM is scrapped the better.

If trhey go off league positions again, then yes, we will. Our extra fixtures look like being Saints, Bradford, Huddersfield, Warrington, Quins and HKR.

Mind you, I'd be as worried if we were playing HKR 4 times...
