Have you never been to a local park on a Sunday morning, they use the bogs, backs of cars etc. If the will is there, we can make it happen

All teams to remain inside their Stobart Truck/Trailer until their name is drawn , that'd get them focussed on the match

The trailers would just be reversed up to entrances at each end , and the players would just run out into the sunshine to meet their opponents

Are you suggesting that the weather is sentient and deliberately makes itself worse if it knows there is a bank holiday?

For what it's worth, the weather has been really nice on that weekend in Manchester for 5 years. It's the one weekend I can speak with certainty about as it was a mate's daughter's 5th Birthday on Saturday, and every year I've had to go to help out at a party at a local cricket club and then we've ended up basking in the sun afterwards.

can you guarentee decent weather for the next 3 years!? bank holiday weather is usually known to be a damp squid in this country

...thought they were last weekend...at least until they'd shipped too many points.

I think they should just get rid of it. The crowd is hardly much better than it was in Cardiff and that's with it being on the doorstep of most clubs. You have to ask what its purpose is really?

And yes, I didn't go, but that was as I had prior plans on the Sunday, and my team was playing on the Sunday, so I didn't want to go and not watch my team.
