Quote: MarginMeter "If you need a Magic Weekend why not have it as the first round of games after the split, so that each team in that split stage can play 3 home and 3 away games, and one game at a neutral venue. It would need to be done a bit differently and wouldn't be able to be in May, but it would even things out a bit and the games should all be more competitive.'"
This is a very good idea, the only reason it isn't happening like this is presumably it would be around August time and close to the Challenge Cup final.
We also need it to be decided whether these 'Super 8' fixtures will be included in season tickets or not. If they are, we might see a hike in prices that speccys might not like.
Finally, can we not go down the route of 'bonus points' for losing teams as might be the case. Don't reward a team for losing.
