I hope this happens. Been calling for Eastlands to host the Magic Weekend for a while. Enjoyed Cardiff, but I think they should take it to an area central to most clubs and you can't go wrong with Manchester. Only problem with having at a ground which is home to a soccer club is its hard to find a slot where they'll let you use it, as others have pointed out.

I know the Magic Weekend is about expanding the game and taking Rugby League to new areas, but to that, the event needs to be marketed a whole lot better than it has been. Its all good taking it to new areas, but if you're not really bringing the new comers in, then its not benefiting the sport.

I felt quite cold on both days at Cardiff and if it was on in February 2012 I question whether I would go again, however it wasn't half as cold as being in the 'Gulag' that is Murrayfield in 2010. Murrayfield was a mistake, I certainly wouldn't go again (the DJ throwing a bottle at us on the Saturday night didn't help).

I like the idea of it, but it just puts a slant on the league when you then have teams playing uneven fixtures.

How they can justify (for example) Wire (a title contender) playing Widnes, and two other top sides in Saints + Wigan playing each other?

I'd do something like what they are doing at Wembley with the double header international game, but throw in the final of 7's tournament or some other club based tournaments to appeal to the people who aren't bothered about international games.

I'm all for it being in Manchester though if it's going to happen, cost of going to Wales (and staying overnight) has put me off in the past.

If it is the same concept as last year and at the Millennium, then the season may be starting a week earlier as already being talked about. According to the 'Events' section of the Millennium Stadium website, Wales play Scotland in an international union match on Sun Feb 12th 2012 which is the weekend the Magic weekend took place last year!

whereever it is i wont be going if its end of may as im away but manchester would be ideal and makes sence

And the cheapest ticket is £70 !!
