magic weekend my ars e its f*cking

good result today though lads

I like the weekend but I strongly disagree with moving it to Scotland.

wembley anyone????

Nah, too big.

Twickenham would be more likely.

ok my personal fav is newcastle, and is play a weekend of challenge cup games there, say the last 16 over 2 days.

reasons
1.near enough to cumbrian heartland,a nd would include all rl not just sl
2.real expansion possibilities
3. would be real top day out for all rl fans!

thoughts?

and finally


whats everyones estimate of sundays attendance?

Just been watching the BBC 9Pm news

... amazingly the Munster /Leinster RU Game gets coverage

(excuse me if I'm wrong but neither are , as far as I'm aware, neither are in Great Britain but the republic )

but the Murryfield weekend gets sod all...

Somethings wrong somewhere ....................



.

but as eddie said "it has brought in 10million to the local economy"

what about our local economies???????? in a f ing recession,were spending all our cash in scotland

exactly, welcome to the real world!

whers that from?
lets say 50, ooo travelling fans over weekend ohh hes right if they all spenny

As I've said on another thread, the point of of MM is to expand the game. But the RFL only seems to market the game to exsisting fans. I'm not saying they shouldn't but given that we're only getting about 30k a day each year that's not going to fill the stadiums that are being picked for these events.

I went last year and had a great time in cardif. However, I don't think I saw anyone inside the stadium from cardif who wasnt serving food or drink (not that I actually went round and asked each person individually where they were from)

Now, this to me seems wrong. We KNOW we're not going to fill the stadium so why not get a few key players from each club and send them into local schools. It's no different from what most clubs do already. A school assembly in 2 parts. First part about fitness and healthy living etc etc and the 2nd part about RL and the MM weekend. And at the end you hand out a junior ticket which requires a full price adult. So you get local people going to the game, so that's a boost on the gate and additional revinue from food & drink and other concession stands. And if you get these people interested in the game then that's a boost which at the end of the day is the whole point of the weekend right?
