Does anybody know the Magic Weekend Fixtures and more importantly, who do we play and when?

I seem to recall when the fixtures came out, they said the Magic Weekend fixtures would be announced a month later, but I cannot find anything online and there is nothing on the club website.

If the fixtures haven't been announced, anybody any idea when they will be announced?

For information, No, I haven't called the club shop.

Cheers,



John.

Not been announced who's playing who yet but it'll be May 17 & 18. Dunno what the delay is, I seem to remember them announcing the Magic fixtures at the same time as the rest of them in previous years. Having said that it's probably not the RFL's most pressing concern seeing as we don't even know what the league structure for this year will be even though kick off is only a month away...

It says on the RFL website that tickets go on sale this month.so must assume the fixtures will be announced at same time.

May 17th is FA Cup Final day so if like last year it kicks off at 5:15 ish could have an effect on the Magic games attendance.

I'm guessing at Wigan v Wire and Saints v Leeds as the two headline games.

I'm thinking we'll be playing Wigan an all. It's usually Deby/big rival games. We got Widnes, then saints. Logically it should be Wire Vs Wigan. Two of the biggest teams with two of the best sets of fans who always turn out in numbers.

That's what folk said for years about 'the grand final everyone wanted'

Wasn't a bad turn out for the GF was it? For some reason we just had a massive rectangle empty in the lower stand. Still don't know why that was.

Not as many neutrals want to show up when we're in a game, they don't like us due to past reputation, and no one likes Wigan except Wigan.

I find it ridiculous that we as supporters don't know the date or our opponents for Magic Weekend. I work regular shifts including weekends, so I need to book time off in advance.

Overall I think the RFL do a good job in promoting what is to the Media a minority sport, but on this matter they have got it wrong.

Being announced today at 2pm

Were playing Saints in the last game of the event.

Saturday May 17th
12.30 - London Broncos v Catalan Dragons
2.45 - Widnes Vikings v Salford Red Devils
5.00 - Hull Kingston Rovers v Hull FC
7.15 - Wigan Warriors v Leeds Rhinos

Sunday May 18th
12.30 - Wakefield Trinity Wildcats v Castleford Tigers
2.45 - Huddersfield Giants v Bradford Bulls
5.00 - Warrington Wolves v St Helens

London v Catalan, thats just a guaranteed 2pts for Cats, how are these fixtures decided?
It should be Us v Wigan, Hudds v Cats, Saints v Leeds, Bradford v Wakefield & Cas v London

Cats get a gimme
Widnes get a rinsing
Giants get a gimme
and I'm bored of Saints already

Saints don't want us and we don't want them.

With the season actually meaning something it should have been 

Wire-Wigan
Saints-Leeds
Hudds-Salford
FC-KR
Wakey-London
Cats-Widnes
Bradford-Cas

the sunday looks really unappealing.

The whole thing is starting to look unappealing as far as I'm concerned although it is handy in Manchester for me and I've enjoyed it so far but its old hat now and is it really fair when a cull is coming?

I have to agree with various posters that have suggested a CC round might fit the bill for a two day jamboree, not sure if there's an appetite for 9's or how this can be resolved with our TV paymasters?
