I think Newcastle is ideal really. Though I’d like to see more concerted effort toward the Magic Weekend actively assisting and helping grow Newcastle Thunder. Otherwise what’s the point.

The entire event should be plastered with Newcastle marketing/advertising, presence of the Newcastle players, maybe Newcastle play during one of the days etc.

I’d also like to see a follow up England game put there.

We have good ideas in RL but rarely do we follow them up properly.

Cardiff was the best one in my opinion . Superb stadium with the benefit of closing the roof if need be . Great central location ( As Newcastle is ) , plenty of good bard a stones throw from the stadium , and the lovely Cardiff Bay with nice restaurants .
