Doesn't surprise me that Kells are leading, most of the clubhouse used to support Wigan and then changed to support Leeds around two years ago (not a coincidence I'm sure) so it makes sense for them to want to see the two sides play each other.

I have found that Cumbrians, because they dont have a SL club, tend to show loyalty to a local player of another SL club. At MM in 2007 for example a Wigan fan sat next to me started following Wigan when they signed Craig Murdoch but also had a soft spot for the Quins as Purdham was playing for them.

That's not the first instance i've found that happening.

The RFL should be doing something similar for the magic weekend, maybe going beyond the club houses, and targeting University teams etc.
