Why should events cater for everyone? Why not have a range of events that people can pick and choose from?
These events are not compulsory, if they don't appeal or you can't afford then don't go. |

They're not compulsory, but a lot of fans do want to follow their team week in week out. It doesnt seem unreasonable to me to arrange magic weekend so that say one year in three they can go to that |

I'm not aware of any blocks on people travelling within the UK.
Or do you mean "a lot of fans do want to follow their team week in, week out, as long as it doesn't cost more than a tenner or involve traveling more than an hour".

I was thinking of people like my 14 year old nephew who hasnt been to any of the MM magic weekends. Cant afford it and his parents will not let him stay overnight. But he's already saying that he and a couple of mates will be catching a train to Manchester for one of the days.
And my neighbours who are fairly regular rugby watchers but haven't been to MM because they dont want to travel a huge distance with their 6 and 9 year olds and find that that they're bored after their team's match. But are happy to take them to Manchester, watch their teams match and stay on until the kids have had enough. |

It seems all of your examples dont actually seem to want to go to or an MM event, they just want to go to a match in their local area. They can do that every week of the season. |

So much for 'expansion'. What a load of s*ite. Red Hall seem to do their best to make Sepp Blatter look credible

Don't see the point in this.
I thought the whole idea of Magic WEEKEND was to promote the game away from the heartlands by showing the product both on and off the field.
By off the field of course I mean the behaviour of the fans who turn up for the weekend and drink and mingle together despite supporting rival clubs. Who in their right mind is going to travel from Wigan to Manchester for the f*cking weekend (a reason why I prefer the Wembley cup final to the GF)????? You'll go to watch your teams day and that's probably it (imo).

So let me get this straight....
MM in Cardiff = "Clueless RFL. Cardiff is too far... it's too expensive... hotels cost a fortune... petrol costs... Welsh don't like RL anyway... Should be in Manchester... Where's me wippet?"
MM in Edinburgh= "Clueless RFL. Cardiff is too far... it's too expensive... Scotland is too cold... petrol costs... Too far out of city centre... Scots don't like RL anyway... Should be in Manchester... Where's me wippet?"
MM in Manchester= "Clueless RFL. Who's going to have a weekend in Manchester?... Defeats the point... Not good for expansion... Should be in Cardiff / Edinburgh..."
