I love your posts DM - they're always so positive and full of broad minded, open, forward thinking. I bet the nights fly by in your house!

Personally, I think it's worth giving it a go in Manchester, see if the public goes for it more than at Cardiff. Ive really enjoyed these weekends, particularly the various derby atmospheres. As Teeside says, it's great value for money and a pity that more people don't give it a try.

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 !!
