Quote: Mike1970 "I can totally understand the frustration with the way the fixtures are generated.
However, for us a large part of going to matches is the social aspect. We always have a fantastic weekend in Newcastle.
Although I’m massively in favour of expansion I firmly believe it should be done in small steps.
Places like Newcastle, York and Coventry should be given a good crack. So events like the Magic Weekend help to raise the profile of the sport in those areas.
This includes the fans. Every single place I’ve been to I’ve had a conversation with locals and they never fail to be astounded that rival fans can mingle without there being trouble.'"
Hi Mike, thanks for the interesting post, do post more
York would be a wonderful venue if the new stadium can cope, I don't know the capacity nor the current crowd interest in Magic, or the demand if York was used......
Not sure Coventry would be a pull, but if Coventry RL had a significant and serious ambition for Superleague then fair enough, but I can't see it when they are up against Wasps, albeit we took a major International there.
