Quote: Rogues Gallery "From what I have heard the season is starting a week earlier to accommodate BOTH the Magic Weekend and the Exiles game, so no players doubling up.
As posted above, I would to have loved the Magic Weekend to have been in Newcastle on the Spring Bank Holiday weekend.'"
That would have been my choice, and not because I only live 40 miles from Newcastle. My idea was to have a Gateshead game at the International Stadium on the FRiday night with just £5 admission, followed by 2 days of SL at St James Park. It would have been a real boost to the game in the area.
Having said that, Manchester is a good choice. We should get close to a sellout for both days.
