| There are about 4 park and rides along the A720 or whatever it is.
Major improvements for me would be
Stadium bus specials from the city to the ground would have helped influence more supporters to watch more games IMO.
More choice in the foods and drinks on sale once in the ground. It'd be nicer if they were cheaper to but I understand that at "events" you get events prices. Though to be fair they allowed you to take food in.
We didn't take the kids as they wouldn't manage a full day at the rugby but it would've been nice to see stuff to do actually within the stadium grounds rather than at the back somewhere that we didn't even know existed.

| Quote: Sexual Deviant "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.......'"
I made a typo then, I meant the 2nd bank holiday weekend
and yes some people don't like having a derby on neutral ground, but I reckon a lot of that would have been due to the ridiculous schedule of having 4 derby's a year, so it felt like there was a derby every 6 weeks or so. I'd be happy with 3 derby's a year, even despite Hull's woeful record against Rovers!

| Are we now really that stupid that we think the general population of either the Rugby League fans or the poulation of Scotland give 2 hoots (Pardon the pun) about the English Championship Play Offs? So it could be moved for the far supierior weather 2/3 weeks later. (PS Scotland being a cold Rainy Place as compared to the tropical climes of either England or Wales is an absoloute myth)
There is no way on gods green earth either that yesterday was colder than any Grand Final ive been to and ive been to a few. But hey thank god the welsh can control the weather by shutting a roof, that must be one hell of a central heating system.
I remember when the Grand Final was touted by us the fans as a no go and that it would never sell out, well they now HAVE to use Old Trafford due to sales and i have never been to a half full Grand Final and i dont even agree with the premise of it.
People will always moan but i think you will find that the Majority of the moaners are those that travelled all that way to watch their team lose and the ones who loved it like myself came home victorious.

| Quote: loyalsince1904 "1) Warn supporters that the ground was very cold unless you were sat in the sun. By the 3rd game I was shivering
Just bring a light raincoat to keep you warm IF it gets cold
2) Standardise ticket prices at £20/£10- you could go anywhere with any ticket
The stewards were not stopping anybody from moving around the stadium this year
3) Maybe move it to the 2nd bank holiday in May? Weather may be a bit wamer
Maybe
4) The cost of food + drink was horrific- £6 for burger + chips. £3.50 for 330ml of cider- cheaper vans are required
This was the main gripe £3.50 for a pint when it was £2.50 in cardiff IF it had been cheaper & publicized then a lot of fans might have gone to the stadium earlier Hence stadium would have been fuller & better atmosphere
5) Start the sunday games at 11.30. Last train south was 8.45 from Haymarket/ 8pm if travelling back to Yorkshire/ Lancashire
If you book earlier enough for the weekend then theres nothing stopping you from getting your train fares cheap on the 12 weeks before option
6) The focus on the mascots was very OTT. They ran out before every game
This pis*ed me off big time the Mascots are part of the clubs PR & the Kids love them as we do with Daddy Cool but it seem all together rushed
I think it was a very enjoyable day out on the whole.'"
A special bus from the town to the stadium & back would have been nice
More going off outside the stadium ie fun & games for all fans like Its a knockout comp
And stick to the Derbys

Yeah actually i forgot to mention this and as such forgot that the whole weekend was a complete washout as such.
Due to the title of the thread we could always make MM better next year if the fans dont drink nor do they interact with each other in a way that offends the hollier than though mob.
Hull KR and Wire fans having a laugh together and FC fans enjoying themselves on a weekend away what is this bloody world coming to ????
Its a disgrace i tell thee!!!!

If you did a full circuit of the stadium you'd have found -
Burgers
Hot Dogs
Pies
Fish (burgers, sausage etc) & Chips
Doughnuts
Indian
Chinese
Mexican
Baguettes
BBQ
Steak Sandwiches
Sausage Sandwiches
Sweets
Coffee
Sweetcorn
What else do you want?
The only thins that i could think were missing were Hog Roast and Jacket Potatoes, Veggies could have been slightly better catered for but it kinda knocks Cardiff's catering into a cocked hat...

Now you are talking tripe greame, i remember quite clearly paying £3.50 for a slice (Yes one slice) of pizza inside the millenium stadium now thats value.
Funny how i dont remember any other catering other than the ice cream vendor outside at Cardiff but i had been on a two day bender throwing Wire midgets down a hill. And laughing at Hull FC Fans dressed as clowns.

3) Would put MM in school half-term. Possibly a good idea. Worth checking compettition from other sports. Apparently may day saw a big run in Edinburgh, so compettition over accomodation.
5) Makes sence, though possibly have 4 games on saturday and finish with a game that KO at 8pm or so.

Thats fair enough then. We didn't walk all the way round the stadium but stayed up at the south stand end. The only outlets we saw there were the burger/ hotdog/ steak sandwich and drink stalls.
As for the Hog roast we got that in Edinburgh on the sunday
