Journalists speculating is conjecture.
What chances has MCC been offered and turned down?

Queen Victoria had the right idea about Birmingham.

Whenever the royal train passed through it she had her servants draw the curtains on her carriage so she wouldnt have to look at the place.

Sadly things haven't moved on a lot in poor old Brum. Some nice little bars down by the NIA and the canal and Broad st is sort of reasonable (and they have a Walkabout!!) but thats as good as it gets.

The best thing about Birmingham is the M40.. heading south.


Cardiff is still the best place for the superleague to host these 'magic' weekends

A weekend in Birmingham would be dubbed the 'Tragic' weekend very quickly. Its not suitable for Rugby League.

Trust your old mate Barry McKenzie on this one.

God; you really do get worse with time, p1ss off! zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Having the games in seperate stadiums defeats the object IMO. You can't easily watch all the games if you want.

Keep it in Cardiff, give it some years to grow. Bring back derbies. Get the clubs to market the tickets to their own fans more. Include the championship teams and have their games on the RU pitch outside. This would easily get another 10-15k to the event.

Bordeaux Stadium would be great for 2012. Chaban Delmas stadium is 33400 seats.
4% (per cent) of the benefit (tickets) for the Council. Gary Hetherington was interested in 2006 (25/7/2006) for an away game. I was present with my camera...Be sure that Bordeaux is the best stadium for the next Magic Week End
