| Having it earlier in the season and closer to the heartlands so to speak provides logistical complications as the only stadiums that are really equipped to hold a 20-30k crowd that is all seater is a football stadium and am not so sure any football team would be happy having 7 rugby league matches played on it in feb or march. So the only real idea could be to use one of the national stadiums around the UK that is not being used or have it around this time of year when the football season is coming to an end and stadiums begin to be stopped being used.

| Quote: Blue Sock "The idea of using the event to kick off the super league season is the best imo. And have it closer to the heartlands too. I do like the idea of having all the games together in one stadium as a one off but why in scotland I don't know. I can see why he would think it was a success though by attracting fifty odd thousand fans all that way, but if it was closer to the heartlands imagine how many more would've gone.'"
50K over the two days is not good really, it looked bad on the TV, come on these games would attract the average attendance over the two days at least if not more if played as normal games so yes its a long way to go but the loyal fans will go so as not to miss one of their teams games.

| If you take the average home attendances for the teams taking part in the magic weekend you will see a dramatic drop in figures. So not so much a succesful weekend at all in numbers. Obviously these figures don't reflect the number of non regular watches of rugby league but i can't think it's in the thousands.
Total Magic Weekend Attendance 2010 : 52,043
Home Teams Total of Average Attendance 2010 : 75,861
If you look at just the worst average attendances in Super League (Quins, Salford, Wakefield, Cas, Crusaders, Catalans, Hudds) and add them up it isn't much better. Total of Averages 2010 : 43,208.
The Top 7 attendances in Super League Average Total 2010 : 84,831
Current Averages in Super League are as follows:
1. Leeds - 15,100 (6 Games)
2. Wigan - 14,894 (7 Games)
3. Hull - 13,599 (6 Games)
4. St. Helens - 12,902 (6 Games)
5. Warrington - 11,151 (7 Games)
6. Bradford - 8,611 (6 Games)
7. Hull KR - 8,574 (6 Games)
8. Hudds - 8,327 (6 Games)
9. Catalans - 7,652 (5 Games)
10. Crusaders - 6,844 (4 Games)
11. Cas - 6,686 (6 Games)
12. Wakefield - 6,454 (6 Games)
13. Salford - 4,069 (6 Games)
14. Quins - 3,176 (6 Games)
