I enjoyed it next time i'm going to pick a hotel a bit closer dunfermline was a bit far away, hotel was ace though town was brill lots of little bars, I thought the stadium was a bit steep to get to your seat, I nearly fell back down the stairs twice, and when the game started from where i was sat the stadium looked empty, (west 20) thought chegggers was a tit where was the entertainment, all i saw was a couple of dancers at the begining and some idiot doing back flips, and when the fire works went off I nearly crapped my self god they were high, overall it was ok really I wont be getting seats in the west stand next year and I will be getting a hotel in edinburgh it seems I missed out on a lot of stuff, although I have been to edinburgh a few times in the past, but I did go in the pub before the match outside the stadium, the one with the barby and the bagpipe player, the beer was very expensive just like in the stadium , but the atmosfear was great, looking forward to next year will make a weekend of it next time and bring the familiy.

That is possibly because Salford fans have other interests in their lives than RL


We dont take many away anyway so Edinburgh was definitely a step too far. As for enjoyment we got beat,it was a half empty stadium, it was probably expensive should I carry on ?

Your joking aren't you I avoid most of them

OK, Prestwich Red, you've convinced me ...Salford should not be in Super League.

Happy now.

I think its a crap idea you think it isn't.
Where the notion I thought we should not be in Super League came into it I do not know

To be fair it seems strange that you will pay £1000 for a football season ticket (including cup games) and £40+ for away games to be 'surrounded by corporates' yet will complain at £7.50 to watch Salford in Edinburgh.

Each to their own though.

I say it was ok considering they dont have RL, I think it will be better next year and can't wait, have just looked for hotels and already they have started to get booked up for next year if that doesn't show you how much of a sucess it was then what will,

Fair enough. For what it's worth despite having a good trip I'm not particularly in favour of the magic weekend either so we agree on something.

It did yes, but for some reason some of you are finding any other reason for 'the event' not to be held. FWIW I too think its a rubbish idea, I didn't go to Cardiff as I thought the same then, however some of the excuses for not going are far too fetched. Some people believe the Champions League is in a similar vein but it goes from strength to strength (not comparable with RL, however, opinions are divided). Face facts its now on the RL calandar for the considerable future and whinging about it isn't going to change that its already been and gone this year................Was it a success?, no maybe not for the whole of RL but some clubs picked up an extra two points so I suppose they beleive that they had some success on the field, the media coverage is better than none atall, success there then?, and the place where it was staged was a major success in terms of somewhere to visit. Depends really on how you define success I guess?

isn't wining the game and claiming two points success on the field, If your team don't win then no, but it was a success in bringing all the teams and supporters together in one place to have a good time, I didn't see one argument between fans you can't say that about football

As I have said before the success was for the Scottish Tourist Board.
It is a extra game we just do not need.
Lets get the Sky money, stadium charges, steward costs and everything else involved with the Magic Weekend to be spent on the grass roots. Get kids into the sport so we may one day in my life time win a series against Australia.
That is what I would call a success.

I never said you can't have an opinion it's just that in my opinion your opinion doesn't hold as much weight as mine

But people got cheap transport up on a par with a normal away game. Also a day saver ticket there was just £3. Thats not alot now is it.

Hotel prices were'nt that bad you could camp for £15 theres a YHA in Edinburgh which I bet is also cheap. You just need to use a bit of foward planning

Nope no body has actually said that fancy dress is a plus point, but people having fun is.
