Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing.
We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in.
But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg |

A classic case of people criticising for absolutely no reason. There is minimal crossover in direct support and, with only a couple of, albeit large, football games on rather than dozens, the games will arguably get more coverage. |

Do we know why it was moved away from the bank holiday weekend last year (and continued to this)? |

No, but as MJM aludes to the benefits of this weekend is there is only one major football game on, not dozens.
Perhaps the RFL had a rare moment of clarity and picked this weekend for precisely this reason! |

Exactly my thoughts.
In fact, I reckon the FA will move their game as soon as they realise for fear of the 35,000 at that days Magic weekend adversely influencing the blanket wall to wall coverage that their game will get compared to the half page report from the etihad  |

The regular season finishes on the weekend of 10th May so play-offs aside that is not really the case.
I see from the Wembley website that on the weekend 30th May England play a friendly against Peru. Would that not make more sense? |

The Magic Weekend is scheduled to suit SKY, it is one of the 'events' it uses to try and stop people cancelling SKY Sports after the Football season ends.
I don't think being up against the FA Cup is that big of a deal, its not the event it was.

Personally, as much as I wish Hull City well, I'm not that interested. If the rugby wasn't on then I would watch, but as it is I will be plumping for the rugby whilst keeping an eye on what is going on at Wembley. However attendances and viewing figures will be hit hard imo. There are plenty of people in Hull who follow a rugby team and City. Those people have a choice of watching City in their first ever FA cup final, or watching a derby that happens 4 times per year. Tough call. |

TBH I think the CC Final and the Magic Weekend should swap dates. It'd mean the Magic Weekend has a lot more riding on it as it'll be nearer to the play-offs so more build-up and the CC Final was always better in April/May.
