Quote: Sir Kevin Sinfield "Leigh replacing Hull kr has been blamed for the poor sales at this years magic weekend.
"I think there's a few reasons (for the dip). It's the third year of Newcastle and we no longer have Hull KR, who are now taking 2.500 fans to the Summer Bash. If they were coming here, they would have the third highest attendance." Super League executive director Roger Draper.
Personally I'm not going as Leeds are the last game on the Sunday night and I have work the next day. I think magic should be on a bank holiday weekend as I'm sure I'm not the only person in this position. If the stadium isn't available on the bank holiday, find another one that is and move elsewhere.'"
Actually we'd sold over 3000 tickets over a month ago, but it's unfair for anyone to blame Leigh or any club, for poor ticket sales though.
