Were you there? If not shut yer gob. I live in cardiff so travel and accommodation was not an issue. Work committments meant i could only attend sunday. I thought the organisational side was spot on, the stadium is as great as ever (i always reccomend the 2nd tier for the best view of the games), food and drink prices were not a complete rip off, the fans were the usual friendly boisterous peeps, enjoyed it and will definitely be back next year. |

| Quote chubbs1981="chubbs1981"I didn't attend cos I'm skint I live just outside cardiff and my gripe Is lack Of Marketing. Ok I'm sure they push it to the rl crowd but surely the point of Magic in Cardiff is too entice locals and those from the SW to watch live rugby so how come I saw nothing on local tv. Nothing in local rag and zero billboards. The only advertising I saw were lampost flags (small ones) on the road to the bay.
I spoke on Friday to a guy at the ice rink in Cardiff who had no idea magic was on!'"
Overall i agree on the marketing chubs but there was an 8 page pull out in the wednesday echo. Awful rag though it is. |

| Quote Established1865="Established1865"Those that say it's rubbish need to think about the 60,000 fans that have been and enjoyed themselves as well as those that have enjoyed watching the event on telly.
It needs a few tweaks but overall it's a great weekend.
We stayed in Swansea again where the nightlife is first class. Cardiff is much better than Edinburg as a venue.
Only criticism was having the Hull derby as the last game given the distance we have to travel. Some fans won't be getting home until about 1am.'"
Yeah i thought that was a bit harsh really. Felt sorry for people during my 10 min walk home  |

Wednesdays is cutting it fine It should have been pushed right after Xmas! What good is it 3 days before people would have plans you cant say oh this weekend there is rugby all weekend, and expect a massive uptake. People need time to plan and arrange things. Bands at the millenium or cia have posters and stuff
Up months in advance. Also having it In the middle of 6 nations might have stopped some people going who were interested in checking it out. I.e the whole I'm going to watch Wales on the tv or the mrs says we have to have a family day as I went to the home game last week issue.

They did. The "RL Community" consists of about 30,000 hardcore supporters who are happy to travel long distances to watch as much rugby as they can + 200-300,000 fans of varying degrees of enthusiasm and commitment. The event was aimed at the hardcore fans as a live event and the rest as a televised event. |

I think I would still prefer to live in East Hull.
Cardiff has to be one of the worst cities I have ever had the misfortune to go to. It has a yearly average of 364 days of torrential rain, relieved only by one day of light drizzle. |

Actually I might just concede defeat with that one.
Well played sir. |

It was a good weekend of rugby. We watched all but Quins/Cats on the saturday and missed the Crusaders/Salford game on the sunday. Nice to mingle with lots of fans from different teams and even though you are not a fan of the other teams playing you know the underdog will get the majority of the crowd cheering for them.
Considering it was February, it was warmer than it was in Edinburgh last year. Plenty of pubs in close vicinity to the ground and we spotted no trouble in any of them. The fact it was the season openers made it more enjoyable as well for me.
