Avebulls won makes a very good point Cas v Bulls at 11.30 am to allow the bradford fan chance to get home and watch game.

Ah! Yes! The same RFL who organised a international match in the middle of a round of Super League at a ground with no railway station within 5 miles of it.

You're right

Atherton Railway station = 4 miles away
Daisy Hill Railway Station = 4 miles away
Newton Railway station = 4 miles away
all on major bus routes
can't see a problem myself?
realistically who would travel by rail anyway?

OK I'll give you the 5 miles away bit, but there are people like myself who don't drive who sometimes have to use public transport to get to away games.

Besides it's more fun than a car journey because you can have a few on the way.

Ouch!, rightly or wrongly you just quoted facts to stealth, the king of all facts, figures and statistics - god help you going forward pal cos you are going to need it, you have been warned!

The No Rail link was just a smokescreen for fans wanting any old excuse not to attend the International at LSV. With the exception of yourself, who by your own admission travels by public transport, I wonder how many others do this ? Not including derby matches but games with a reasonable distance to travel I`d hazard a guess around the 10/20% mark.
