| Quote Wire2000="Wire2000"Murrayfield stadium I was impressed with, but its in the middle of nowhere, I mean pubs, resteraunts etc and also as much as Edinburgh is a nice city it lacks decent places where you can get a meal.'"
It's ok peple being fo the opinion that they don't want to go back to Edinburgh, but to claim there aren't any decent places to eat is going too far.
The city has more decent bars and restaurants than anywhere else I know (outside London).
Personally I'd be over the moon if it were to be at Murrayfield again, but I expect the whole concept will be shelved.

| Quote Fatbelly="Fatbelly"St James Park at Newcastle would be a great venue.
A great stadium which would not look stupidly empty because it only holds 51k, plus the town of Newcastle is a great place to visit.
Manchester would not be good the City of Manchester stadium is about five miles out so getting 20,000 people from the centre of Manchester to the ground would be a problem.
London, no way keep that for the Challenge cup.
Dublin, would be a great venue but getting there would be a real pain.
Birmingham at Villa Park same problem as Manchester.
Cardiff, a lot of people like Cardiff but it doesn't do it for me.
So a trip to Newcastle would be my choice, it would have to be done on the Bank Holiday at the end of May so it would clash with the football.'"
Eastlands is about 5 miles out of the city centre ........ give or take 3 1/2 miles or so. Doh.

| Thing is there's no football club with an ounce of sense that will let us play 7 games on their pitch. Plus the venue has to have a roof. Plus someone has to fund the cost of the hire of the ground & staff. Now who apart from Murrayfield would accept those conditions.

so that leaves only the other suggestion of newcastle which everyone seems to pick.'"
Cardiff is only about half an hour further by car. Unless you go via A49, which is long but has the undoubted pleasure of the Ludlow Food Centre (and some beautiful scenery).

Steve. Nobody at Newcastle United has an ounce of sense. They've proved it year after year. If we could play it there it would be great. There's plenty of pubs around the ground and an additional plus would be for Gatehead to play a\game on the Friday night to give them a bit of a lift.

| Now that Newcastle will be in the Premiership next season i'd be very suprised if they agreed to letting us stage the Magic weekend there.
As said before Elland Road could be a good shout.
I also think places like Portman or Carrow Road could be a good shout, a nice weekend in East Anglia.

I've been to Carrow Road, it's a great ground IMO and would meet the requirements.

| Noting magic about this weekend for me, unless there were 30,000 people wearing invisibility cloaks inside Murrayfield on both days.
Maybe it's time to scrap the idea...
