& exactly how many [iCatalans fans[/i will be attending Magic Weekend [iMr John Flatcap Dozey ???[/i
I suggest that if they take 200 we will be blessed, this for an 'established' SL Club given preferential support for 6 years to become established.
You Sir talk absolute twaddle ! |

Well Chorley John could go, it's only across the M62. He may enjoy his first time watching them

I'm sure the stadium would've been available next weekend. Difference this year is that we're having another weekend of two games with teams playing on Friday and then the Bank Holiday Monday next weekend to prevent the season lasting a week longer with the World Cup coming up afterwards. Obviously can only do a double weekend on a Bank Holiday Monday so Magic Weekend had to move. That sole reason I think is why numbers will be down especially the Sunday. |

I didn't criticise Leigh fans, I simply quoted Super League executive director Roger Draper.
You are correct I will not be going to a Sunday night match that is 100 miles away. |

I bet Saints barely sell any tickets either. The attitude of the players has never been right, they've rarely tried due to the perception that it's unfair and I'll bet our record there is terrible. I wouldn't go for that reason alone. They should make it a 9's event.

So why not a thread title of
" Magic attendances down " rather than picking on one club ?
You don't share the intellect or the good grace your namesake possess's |

He didn't mention Leigh, you did. Hull KR have a great following, and they always play Hull FC at the magic weekend....so obviously they take a few thousand (it's a big city, didn't you know ?)
Cas might take more fans than usual, some clubs like Saints, Widnes, Huddersfield might take less than previously. Catalans will probably bring about 30 fans, so overall attendance over the 2 days might be lower than in previous years, but it's not because of Leigh Centurions !!

We will need binoculars, to see how many cataclysmic Catalan fans we can find.  |

But he didn't criticise Leigh or their fans, he simply said the loss of the Hull KR support had an effect.
That could mean he's having a go at Hull KR getting relegated, or at Salford for relegating them.
There was literally no point in bringing up Leigh's support. |

Hasn't the whole concept just gone way past its sell-by date? It adds an unnecessary extra fixture and should be dumped.

Disagree with that. I'd say that MW is the only thing as a sporting event is unique about rugby league.
