Decided by the controversial Ganson decisions. Why always magic weekend?

Enjoyed the weekend but Wolves do have an advantage under the present "derby games" format. Imagine if a team was to be denied anything by Wolves either on points scored difference or points in the table all due to the Magic fixture?

Re the Hull KR "try" Ganson looked at the flag waver before signalling for a try. So, he can't be held responsible for that one. He was guilty of inconsistancy when binning Dobson but then being lenient there after for laying on.

Halibut penalised us to death but hey - Magsys five were far better and probably counted for more than the dog shaggers five. Ah Van wasn't d in the first half.

It will be interesting to see who else besides those sent off yesterday will be appearing at Red Hall tomorrow. McIlloram is a certanty for me. Having been sent off should Hock have been allowed back into the stands or onto the field of play after the final whistle for his lap of honour whilst Saints players were still there?

IMO this weekend has run its course, lets get back to a 26 game season and keep the weekend free for the Exiles game.

Can anyone save me the effort of looking it up and tell me how many people turned up?

It at least seemed to produce some exciting finishes to matches. I've only seen highlights, as I was both out of the country and working, so I couldn't even watch on telly (even if I found somewhere in Latvia that shows RL).

Probably wouldn't have gone anyway like. Just saying.

I think the aggregate was a record breaking 63k, which from memory doesn't break the record by much, and is disappointing considering how close to home most games were.

I think a lot of people were seeing how it would go, hopefully might get more next year. It seemed to me to both look and sound far better than other Magic Weekends so hopefully is something that can be built on in future years.

Enjoyed the weekend, even if I did have too much sun on the Saturday!
Was in a pretty bad way for most of Sunday.
No sun cream = Sun burn!!

I honestly thought there was a lot more in attendance on Sunday over Saturday.
They said it was 30k Saturday and 32k Sunday, never in a million years!
Sunday compared to Saturday was packed!!

I do hope they do it again BUT they need to change the current format.
Derby games are getting boring now.

How does the magic weekend aggregate crowd compare with the aggregrate crowds for the previous few rounds of SL (again, I could work this out myself, but I'm a lazy, lazy man)?

Well 63k works out at 9k a team, so probably not much more than average.

The fact is that the revenue generated is probably less than 7 games combined, but if this is an extra game then you could count it as profit

9k a match is what I meant

OK, boredom and curiosity prevail. My study is limited by the fact that there is only one magic weekend a year, which is really far too small a sample to draw inferences from, and is considerably smaller than the 28-round control group. I have weakened the trial further by only using 3 cases from the control group, nad not selecting these at random, which introduces bias. Comparisons also assume that the number of people attending more than one match in the normal weekly rounds is not large enough to be significant. Nevertheless, my findings are as follows:

The previous round of SL fixtures (18-21 May) attracted 56,704. So far so good. The previous round (4-7 May) was pretty close to the magic weekend with 68,856 punters. So, pretty close really to the Magic Weekend.

Further, I had the luxury of having a direct compariosn with a round (Maundy Thursday and Good Friday) when the same set of fixtures was played. THese games attracted 88,455 spectators.

I will grant you there are problems with my study, and it is so weak that any attempt to interpret it will be rightly labelled as over-interpretation, but meh, initial findings suggest that the magic weekend does not result in significantly more people attending top-flight Rugby League games.

If this were proper research I would be treating this as a small pilot with a view to securing fundings for a more rigorous trial.

But it isn't, so I'm not.

You have to take into account that this is an extra fixture, and allow for the fact a high percentage of RL supporters are season ticket holders.

If you compare this round to others where season tickets aren't a factor (particularly Challenge Cup), I suspect the figures are much more favourable.
