Not been funny but i think the RLF should wake up and smell the coffie this event deas not work half full stadium freezing conditions and the worst thing for was 2000 drunks and not many family.From comming in the stadium at 1100 am there was very little to do apart from a few games in a feild.

Why didn't you use the Park and Ride?

UllFC is spot on with his derby quote.
I could not personally in this economic climate, two weeks after a jont to Quins and Catalans 8 weeks away justify paying out to go watch Hull KR play Warrington yet if it was FC we were playing this weekend i would still do Quins and Catalans but there would have been no option on MM i would have been there if i had to rob a bank.

This is going to make me sound really thick - but I saw the signs for the P&R but couldn't actually find it. I resorted to using a Tom Tom to get me to the ground and then went from there.

Ah right. The one we used was at the airport. They should have given the postcodes for P&R's on the info to let people find them easily.

Park n ride excellent, i'll be using it next year too

you would have driven right past it, over 1000 spaces at the airport (Ingleston) with a bus service right to the ground.

the fanzone area was ok but we was there for 10 hours and the fanzone area was nothing like enough to keep the kids entertained,a few inflatable games cant keep kids happy.

I must admit we were somewhat pi55ed off by the fact that we'd paid £50 for our tickets and once inside the ground they let people sit wherever they liked, so we ended up with people who'd paid for much lower grade tickets sitting where we were. Next year we'll be buying the cheapest possible tickets.

Others seemed to manage and there was far more there than Cardiff produced, you had a fair idea of how long you'd be in the ground, what did you do to keep them entertained?

Personally I think if you take kids somewhere for 10 hours then you should take a few things yourself to keep them amused. i didn't take mine, but the kid in front of us had a few games in his bag.

I don't think you can expect them to provide anything more than enough to keep them amused between/before games personally.

This also happened at Cardiff though, on the first year i won tickets from the local radio station and they ended up in the cheap seats but when i got there the stewards said that we could go join the majority of the rovers fans in the upper level as there was plenty of space.
So the second year we just bought the cheapest tickets and done the same.

Errrr, you said move it to the 2nd weekend in May. The play off finals are on the Bank Holiday weekend the end of this month. The play-off semi-finals start later this week, and all 12 (that's right, 12) games are live on Sky.

And i fail to see your point on the lack of derbies. How many people complained about having derbies on Magic weekend in the first place?

It seems a lot of people won't be happy until magic weekend is played in some sort of parallel universe, where everyone can walk through their wardrobe door straight into the full-to-capacity ground, pay 50p a pint, watch major international music acts provide the pre-match entertainment, and watch 80 minutes of quality, controversy-free rugby.

Come on Lewis, can't you see what the non-realists want? After all, you seem keen to try and pander to their every whim.......

Simple really , next year instead of going up to Edinburgh you could always go to the Championships ' Magic ' weekend at sunny Lytham St Annes
