Q: What did the five fingers say to the face? A: SLAP!!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_50913.jpg



It hasnt been a great advert has it? although I am sure those who travelled enjoyed it icon_biggrin.gifRUNK:
I dont want to knock the event because in principle it is an excellent concept but we never seem to get it quite right in order to showcase our great game do we?

I went to the first year in Edinburgh and thought it was just ok to be honest. The stadium was too far away from the main streets and the weather was freezing (which can't be controlled).

I definitely think the derby matches are more of an attraction but the half empty stadiums we keep seeing are not good. I understand the will to promote the game elsewhere but we've done Edinburgh and Cardiff now.

Perhaps a smaller stadium and a better location travel-wise might be an idea. Maybe one half in Lancashire and the other half of games in Yorkshire!? This is where you'll find most fans who are willing to go and watch.

It's a tough one though and they're never going to be able to please everybody 100% of the time. I just think it's expensive for people to travel/stay over when the pennies are tight.

Trouble is, having it in the heartlands detracts from having a 'weekend'. Might as well just scrap it altogether if you do that and that would detract from the point of it.

We don't have enough showcase events in rugby league - we need to increase these and so the MM HAS to stay.

we have been to the last 3 magic weekends, 2 in edinburgh and the last one in Cardiff. I thought that Cardiff was by far the better venue - the stadium was better placed and due to having a good choice of places to eat and drink the prices weren't too bad. Edinburgh just seemed like a license to print money for the locals due to the stadium being out of the centre of town, there weren't too many places to choose from to eat and and drink unless you wanted to travel back into town.

I love the concept of a weekend where we can all get together but think it should be mid season when we have the chance to better weather and i would happily go back to Cardiff

Just a thought,
Could it be made the last game of the season with your opponents named the week before based on league placing.
ie, 1 v 2
3 v 4 etc giving most teams something to play for and players at there peek

Couldn't be named the week before as it would be very late to book things as you wouldn't know the time and day of your game.

Rather than that, the actual last game of the season. Everyone would know their opponents?

Should try Newcastle - it's not too far to travel and it is a development area also.

The saying 'bent as a 9 bob note' has now been dropped.....corrected phrase is 'bent as the RFL!':d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_45047.jpg



A few notes from over the weekend by our TV pundits.

Clarkey - reversal from saying it is what the fans wanted....to now saying Jamie Peacock and a few other players wanted it this opening event.

Eddie - Over 60,000 people went.

Clarkey - Cardiff was chosen as it was one of the few that could give us a playable surface for 7 games in 2 days.

"I'm sorry, but I would hope that we would beat Cas with a 1 day turnaround." An arrogant Wigan fan a few days before we stuffed them 18-4 at the JJB.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_42181.jpg



I loved every minute of it.
