Bang on.
IF Newcastle wee on the brink of SL, it would be a useful event to promote the game there but, they should keep the event on the move.
Not sure about the logistics and getting back after the later Sunday games would be a pain but, somewhere like Dublin would be something different and with the world cup looming, it may have helped generate some wider interest in the game.
Newcastle has little appeal and the event loses some of its draw by keeping it more "local".
THe Magic weekend really stood out when it was up in Murrayfield or down in Cardiff
If we're not using it to try and expand the game, then, why not use Sheffield or try and break new ground in Stoke or Nottingham ?

Unfortunatley we have to encounter this trip to the North East courtesy of previous SL Clubs supporting the venture whose fans we now see showing apprehension towards it.
You all seem to change the tune when the going gets tough..'"
It's not animosity it's exasperation - you or a section of you have brought it on yourselves.
Frankly there is no SL club I want to see relegated at present - however Leigh are rapidly becoming the exception, it's sad really but I've never come across a set of fans quite as cocky as you lot but with absolutely nothing to back it up.
It chokes me to say it but I'm quite chuffed for Cas. I'd be just as chuffed for Leigh to stay up if there fans would just shut up - some Cas fans may be getting a bit carried away but then they are producing it on the field so I get the boasting. You lot I just don't get.

I agree though I have enjoyed Newcastle. London would have been the obvious one years ago but that ship has sailed or even the South of France (Toulouse maybe).

| Wakey must be doing well to sell out the initial allocation. If they had the same amount as us (Tigers) that's 3,500.

Looks like your post is not drawing support..Possibly switch to plan B..Or even point your hatred of Leigh fans in another direction.It does belittle your intelligence.

Wakefields allocation appears to be 900 according to their website.

They have a bit of work to do to catch up with Leigh then.
Not surprised with those figures though. AFAIK the initial allocation of tickets is based of average attendances for the current SL season :-
Leigh 6470
Wakey 4909
The secondary allocation is simply a request to supply demand.

Don't miss a chance do you - obsessed
I'll believe Cas have sold 3500 when I see it - that's about three times as many as any previous magic - still the power of the glory seekers so fair play to you.

Can't seem to find that figure, can you post a link. You may well be right but I'd like to see it thanks.

Cas' official facebook page posted yesterday we had sold over 3500. We have less than 200 tickets remaining in what is our last batch. I think we will just about reach 4k with those being sold and anyone who bought through the RFL.
