Have you self appointed yourself to speak on our behalf pyeman?

No just noting which posters were against one idea but for another, its not an absolute truth, which is why i added 'by and large'. Are you of the opinion that the same people who were against wales and scotland are generally the same ones opposed to manchester?

Exactly. Most people i have spoke to who have been to the others are still going for at least the day their team is playing on.

The point was not about who was going but about who was opposed to the location.

I dont have an opinion as you have made it for me. That said I will be in Manchester as I have been Scotland and Wales following this time, the Broncos. But thanks for thinking about me and the rest of us. I'm not privvy to the RFL strategy

Its just another city to have a weekend out in and enjoy 7 rugby games.

Ah i see you just wanted to make a smart a*sed remark without adding to the discussion, are you listers apprentice? I'll be sat in the pub getting drunk, instead of going to the magic weekend like i did in scotland and wales, and looking forward (if we havent already played them) to my away trip to catalans. Hope you have a good time.

So you wont be getting the train from Cas to Manchester for the day to see the Tigers plus a few other games and drink some beer due to principle-I see

shocker announcement about the magic weekend to be announced !!!!

thats all i can say , sorry

Oh go on, give us a little clue

Not at all, dont be deciding my opinion for me or east stander will be having a paddy.

Been a few years since i have been able to go to all of my teams away games for reasons of time and money, i have to pick and choose, i've gone to previous magic weekends because they have been in cities that i really like and nearly everyone stays over for the weekend which leads to a great party atmosphere. Having it in manchester means that it doesnt offer the things i like the most about it, so for me its just another away game and an expensive one at that,as i said earlier in the thread i will be spending the money on going to catalans away instead. Hopefully london too if i can get cheap enough flight to france as its been a couple of years since i visited.

sorry , dont normally do this , but will be announced in the next day
not long to wait, just felt i needed to say something if not much at all

would think so

Would much prefer Cardiff again to manchester. There's nothing anywere near the ground so all the weekenders would get be swallowed up by locals in pubs. Most pubs in city centre dont allow colours so there'll be no party atmosphere. Its better if your just going there and back for your game, but then it becomes just another game. Bad move imo but maybe its just me with great memories of Cardiff 05
