Of course they'll spin it they couldn't get the ground etc well of course they couldn't get the ground because they moved the CC final to that date..

Yes the more I see IMGs paws over our game the more I'm sure they're going to ruin the sport.

Oh and it's not me being paranoid they've made it clear they don't want the magic weekend in the calender.

Spot on!

IMG don’t have any say on what goes on until 2025 I believe. So I’d say it’s more just a really poor decision by the rfl and superleague

I went to nearly every Premiership final at Old Trafford and, when they added the 2nd Division final, I'd arrive during the 2nd half.

As it's so near this year, I may go to watch Wigan and half of another game.

My abiding memory of us at Elland Road was Graeme West making a break down the left and passing to Gilly to score. Obviously early 80s, I'd guess a cup semi and think it was against Hull KR with Gavin Miller one of their players of that era who I remember.

[Just googled it - it was the 1985 cup semi final.]

If I'm thinking about the same incident, wasn't it David Stephenson that scored? We'd been under the pump and Westy broke from a 25 yard line tap. Hull KR were a dominant team then so I think it was the most excited I've ever been at a match - great memory!!

iMG signed a 12 year deal 2 years ago so yes they're very much involved in the sport but for the clubs digging their heels in the magic would be already gone ergo we read this this morning it's just a backdoor way of getting rid of the event

But carry on blindly blaming the clubs if you must do.
