I like the ldea of magic it's the only one of its kind, why not start the season with it?
Towards the backend of the season teams are more focused on OT and the GF so make Wembley the focus point at the beginning of the season.

The thing is, we already get bumper crowds for first games, do we really want to throw these away? I went to that magic weekend and had a good time but summer ones are miles better. |

| Quote RAB-2411="RAB-2411"Love the idea of all 4 QF's in the same stadium on the same day, knock out games are quality.'"
some Magic days have had 4 games in the past. Its more then possible, certainly if done in the north.
Games could kick off at Noon, then 2.30pm, 5pm and 7.30pm
Get a couple of bands to play a 15 min set between each game, pass-out style access so if you wanted to dip out of one of the game you can get back in. With the exception of a couple of teams who would travel in larger numbers, ticket allocation could be between 4k-8k. Etihad would be perfect for it |

| Quote Grimmy="Grimmy"I'd move the Challenge Cup Final back to one of the May bank holidays. Games can be then less spaced out, and the Cup will be the major focus early in the season as it was previously. I'd keep it at Wembley as long as it is financially viable, I think it's a big part of the romance of the cup and a regular event people go to. It also means there is more time in between the two major finals, so we aren't squeezing people's pockets as hard.
Magic Weekend could be the first round of the Super 8s, this would level up the fixture list. I like the idea about having the round of 16 as magic but it doesn't fit with my suggestion above, as the weather would likely be rubbish.'"
Would have to be the beginning of May as the end of May bank hols will often clash with the football play off finals |

The new Wembley cant hold a candle to the old one imo so if they move it i don't have an issue.
Cardiff finals were great.superb rugby stadium, ideal capacity of about 70k i would go back there no problem.

I think they could move the Cup forward a few weeks so it's between Round 23 and Week 1 of the Super 8's. They need a week inbetween the end of the regular season and the start of the 8's because it takes a few days to organise the 8's schedule and they currently have that but with the Semi Finals played instead.
The final currently halfway through the Super 8's really doesn't really help the cup or the 8's.

| Quote JEAN CAPDOUZE="JEAN CAPDOUZE"We need a Wembley Cup Final to attract the thousands of southern English fans who never go to a game otherwise.
It is utterly daft to move it to Cardiff, Wales. The Welsh people are not interested.
Also we need to have international matches played at Wembley for the same reason'"
Welsh people not interested in rugby....hmmmm.
Surprised you didn't mention moving games to your adopted country of France.
Then again, they dont give a toss there do they |

Well that's insightful and thought provoking..........only if you like the sad decline of what should be a prestigious event. |
