It's a horrible accent that I find infectious. I'd come back sounding like Noddy Holder after a weekend.

You're assuming that the RFL would hold MW in Birmingham in tandem with a cohesive strategy to engage locals and leave a legacy in it's wake, which won't happen because they're fkn useless.

THey ought to engage Perez at Toronto, he seems far more media savvy than any of our lot

Barcelona hands down. My 2nd choice would be Dublin. Surprised it's not on the list.

Personally I don't care. I will still go. It's a great event no matter where. Fans from all clubs coming together

Don't know why there's this obsession with a bigger ground, when has any of the stadia used being to capacity on any given game, there hasn't. Many fans are mickying it up outside.
this is why coventry will work, supply and demand so not having to give tickets away as is the norm and in an area with an up and coming club that isn't too far for all to attend.
Barcelona, just lol, Rl fans don't even want to dip in their pockets to fork out for a full priced match ticket or whine about the cost of a CC game/International ticket and you want to suggest having the MW in Barcelona is a viable option, utterly ridiculous!

Three things wrong with Coventry

1) Its a e city
2) it's a e stadium
3) hardly anyone wants to go there

I'm with you on Dublin, it would be a great shout. Although Barcelona would be a good weekend for those who can afford to go I don't see how it would benefit RL.

The concept of the Magic weekend relies on the stadium. It needs to have spare capacity to allow for the unreserved seating and it needs to have the space around it for all the extras that go with it. The Ethiad is perfect for tha, the Olympic stadium in London would also be a good fit.

Tell it how it is Willzay! I can't disagree though, who would want to spend a weekend there?!

Totally agree James

Dublin Great shout BUT very expensive all round i've been told.
Coventry =Nahhhhhhhhhh
London =Bigger Nahhhh
Anfield =YES nice place plenty places to explore.
Etithad = Yes We've all been there know what to expect, Plus Salford Quays is a great place to stop.
Cardiff = YES Just like Newcastle ground & Pubs/Shops are Central.
Newcastle = Big YES just like Cardiff but better there have a Chinatown.

As for having a smaller Stadium then we'll end up with fans complaining that they're been shoved in a corner of the ground due to the so-called big clubs having more fans to accommodate a certain section of the ground, I suppose the RFL can't win

some pics popped up on my timehop on facebook this morning, from 2012 at the etihad,the years we were there is was sunny and fun, and i've got nothing but happy memories of being there, it was brilliant, with newcastle, it felt like i was going to a place to watch something, and be seperated out.

Maybe its the factor of a bowled stadium versus a traditional one which has been built up and in sections, the first year i felt totally seperated from the other wire fans, last year was a bit better, this year i(and our 6/7 away day party) didn't bother going, we didn't want to. And its not just distance either as we all went to cardiff and edinburgh(scotland being next best venue for mine)

I have gone for Leeds ...... shock horror !

I hear it is a good night out & you would certainly get bigger crowds than Cardiff or Newcastle.
Time to let the Yorkies have a share of the spoils I think.

Great shout.

Nice and local plenty of room for the fans although parking may be a bit awkward.

Why would Estadi Cornellà-El Prat not be the option for Barcelona rather than the old Olympic Stadium?
