I like the idea of MM, i haven't gone this year, but have been to Cardiff both times, it allows fans to have a fun day out and watch teams play eachother that we would never normally be able to watch live, without playing against your own team. 30k, oh well.

| Quote: chapster "with official attendance less than 30k in rugby unions scottish home, i think we need a serious debate about the pr value of the magic weekend.
1 its bloody embarrasing
2. it shows our sport in a bad light
3. the games are played in a weird atmos
4. kick and clap mob wet themselves
5 real fans miss out to local cheapies / freebies due to expense of travel etc
6 fixtures are random surely whole sport need one home and one away game against each team?
7. im sorry expansionists but it didnt work in wales so why will it work in scotland?
8. and most importantly... i hate it!'"
Go watch moronball.
Your braincell may just about cope with that! |

total garbage
1 how much did murrayfield cost?
2 how much was actually paid to attend today, i mean paid with money, not freebies.
3 did this make it a profit or loss for the clubs?
4. ooh 1/3 full rugby union stadium, oh boy that makes us look good doesnt it? especially when we had 6 teams loyal fans in there!
5. it does not actually expand anything, no scottish team could get 8k minimum sl franchise amount, as no welsh team has. cumbria maybe, scotland no!
merely dealing in economics and cash, it does not work ful stop.

thats not a debate its an insult!
i never watch moron ball, but i have a degree in economics and i work as an accountant!

Twickenham would be more likely. |

ok my personal fav is newcastle, and is play a weekend of challenge cup games there, say the last 16 over 2 days.
reasons
1.near enough to cumbrian heartland,a nd would include all rl not just sl
2.real expansion possibilities
3. would be real top day out for all rl fans!
thoughts?
