those were the prices quoted at the time the deal was signed, i thought it was common knowledge tbh

why would fans bother to pay to stay in a hotel when they are (for the most part) an hours drive from home? and yes it costs less, and because it costs less, less money goes into the local economy, the less money that goes in, the less the worth it has to the local businesses

Would love to, but like a lot of people I have limited cash to spend and this was the wrong time for me money wise.

As crazy as it may sound but for me it has to be far away to make it a bit special. Who wants to spend a weekend in Manchester? I go there all the time. Boring.

Ive just come back from Edinburgh and enjoyed it thought it was a little nicer than Cardiff as a city and thought Murrayfield was just as good The Millenuim Stadium.

Just got back from Edinburgh for the 2nd year and thought it was a fabulous weekend. Great City, transport links and stadium. Cheap Accomm & Train tickets. Loved the atmosphere in the bars during the day, pre and post match and loved the night life.

Cracking weekend and well done to all those who supported it!

Next year i'd like a return to the derbies and for SkySports to only show one game to encourage fans to make the journey. Maybe there should be a blanket price which includes both days but isn't too expensive.

Loved it and hope it goes back there next year

As much as I love the weekend, Murrayfield is the coldest place on earth! Watching all the games is a real endurance test.

Agree with you but £4 per game is not really expensive, is it?

no excuse tickets went on sale months ago and also cheap hotels could have been booked ages ago,all you needed was money to get there,sure most clubs had coaches going up for the day

Just got back- Long drive back to the Smoke but another weekend enjoyed.

That has to be the coldest stadium around-yesterday was a test of endurance!!!

I would like to see the derby's come back.

It wasn't much warmer at the Kettering Sevens down here in the Midlands!

I really enjoy the Magic Weekend, I went in 2007 and 2009 and really enjoyed every bit, sadly, i only went for the day and i'd really love to go for the weekend. But it needs a new coat of paint, because this season i watched 3 games on TV, didnt bother with the rest.

1.Derbies or Competitive games at least, each team has a chance of winning or appealing to public e.g. Wigan Vs. Leeds, Saints Vs. Wire, Wakey Vs. Cas.
2.Needs a new venue, Edinburgh is a nice place, but there isn't enough to do, simple as, Edinburgh castle only gets you so far, Cardiff was ideal.

3.Needs to be rammed down peoples throats, advertise whereever whenever, in public papers, in the 'areas' where it is e.g. Cardiff, in the cardiff, Swansea, Wrexham, Bristol, Bath areas, if you get 3,000 extra from that, you make up the money from it as it is.

4.Make incentives, I haven't got that many friends who are interested in RL, get them involved,offer incentives like buy 4 get a 5th free or something.

5. Offer tickets to local kids, after all, whos gonna take the reign when older people pass away, get kids in and you get support for teams like Crusaders.

6. Close to City Centre, people can take families for shopping and rugby, perfect mix, close to pubs, so fans can watch games, leave at half time, have a pint, be back for second half!

Charlety Stadium in Paris. Get the bigwigs in France curious.

I would hate to see derbies return, it was stupid and contrived.

You would seem to be in the minority though.

The only fair system though is the 1v2 3v4 5v6 concept

how is that fair? seems the most unfair way if im honest. The better you are the more difficult your extra game.

a random draw is the only 'fair' way
