| Im a Doncaster fan so went as a neutral supporter. We also went up to Murrayfield last year and I thought it was better in the Millennium Stadium with the roof closed.Loads warmer than last year.
Had good views inside the ground on the unreserved bottom tier.I think they wanted the bottom tier to look as full as possible for the cameras though by cramming everyone in round one side though.
Has a great weekend all in all. The hotel near Newport was bang on and saw some great games. My only sore point was on the sunday. We watched the first 2 games with no bother at all with nice people around us all talking about the games and incidents in them etc. Then it changed when the Hull derby was about to start. It ended up in us and about 20 other people around us moving to other areas of the ground due to certain fans behaviour which i thought was a disgrace. Especially one classy 40 odd year old woman whose family must be so proud of her! The stewards on the gate didnt want to know either.
Apart from that it was a great time and I would go again but I will sit away from certain fans in the future.

Poor old flips, the poor mans dally. I'm actual warming to him like a lion warms to an injured antelope.

| Superb weekend, so many laughs with fans from all clubs and O'Neils on Saturday night was fantastic
although had to laugh at some Wire fans who took offence to barking noises we made!

Don't know why as we were making the noises ourselves. Especially when he scored our 1st try, and when it looked like he'd got a 2nd.

I won't be replying don't worry.
I realise it's not just me he tries to wind up and thought he would debate but he seems to just resort to slagging a place off and reverting to type so we get nowhere.
I'll leave everybody else to have their 'fun'. I'm bored of him and his games to be honest.

Nailed on to be Warringtons top try scorer this year.
It wouldn't surprise me at all to see him finish as top try scorer in the whole of superleague actually.

The group that complained were brilliant
1st time we did it, middle aged guy in front of us went to stewards and made a compliant of "obscene abuse", The steward had a word with us and when one of my mates explained the "doggy" story the steward couldn't stop laughing and laughed at the "numpty" Wire fans
2nd time we did it a guy (same group) asked If I had experianced a "dog", I replied no as I wasn't from Lancashire/Cheshire (sorry folks!)
3rd time a guy had a pop at a Saints poster on here (Ski) and didn't know understand Preston wasnt in St Helens

I thought he looked a bit shaky at times but he will do well
BJ-B could be a good bet

| 3rd Magic I've been to. Loved this one more then the previous 2 as I went for the weekend as opposed to just 1 day. Had a good laugh with a lot of different set of fans. Most people behaved really well considering masses of ale was consumed.
The only negative was travelling home feeling dog rough this morning.

Are you an Aussie who plays for Warrington by any chance?

With the amount I supped on Saturday, I wouldn't rule anything out.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

| Quote: PHIPPS "You could market RL as much as you want in South Wales and the locals won't want to know about it. Well certainly not enough to justify the outlay. '"
Arent the RFL paid a substantial amount by the Wales Tourist Board to bring the event to Cardiff, surely mitigating the outlay of attracting some new fans to the sport?
Quote: PHIPPS "As we know the populace of South Wales failed to embrace the Celtic Crusaders- thats despite them being put almost straight into Super league. And how many bona fide South Walians attended Millennium Magic? '"
is your argument here that marketing the Magic weekend would be pointless because no one from S. Wales came this time around? seems like the most obvious solution to attracting more fans would be to market/promote the weekend better.
Quote: PHIPPS "So if I live in the far north of Scotland or somewhere miles away and I'm forking out £40+ a month for my SkySports package to watch Rugby League yet the only games of the magic weekend I could have watched were Hull FC v Hull KR and St Helens v Wigan am I going to be impressed?
2 games out of 7 available ones for me to watch on Sky does not represent good value for money. '"
As opposed to every other round of Super League?
Quote: PHIPPS "You havent thought your ideas through have you? '"
i dont think youve thought your trolling through have you?
