I don't think we should scrap these weekends!!! We need to give Cardiff a second chance and then those people who keep banging on about not going Edinburgh because it's not as good as Cardiff can go!!! I think Cardiff has everything including the right location.

Go back to Cardiff bring back derbies or make the games big ones!! E.g. Leeds v St's Us v Wigan Hull v Hull kr etc etc

I'll just go wherever it is, whether it's a start of season weekend in Manchester/Newcastle/London, or whether it's as it is now. The only place I probably wouldn't go is Dublin, and that's only because you have to take out a mortgage every time you buy a beer.

Sums it up perfectly, I have been to the other 3, not going this year as I wasn't impressed with it in Edinburgh last year. If it was moved back to Cardiff I would be there in a flash but I am in no rush to go back to it as it stands.

Carlsberg don't do bad ideas, but if they did they'd be as bad a this one....

I would have put the following games;

Saturday
Bradford vs Wakefield
Catalans vs Harlequins
Hull KR vs Hull FC
Warrington vs Wigan

Sunday
Crusaders vs Salford
Castleford vs Huddersfield
Leeds vs Saints



A mix of big games and derbies

Apparently the clubs voted against derbies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Weekend

The Magic weekend should be scrapped and 1 extra team should be added to super league.
A heartland team not a part of the country that has no interest like London or wales or Scotland or Ireland and not another froggie team either

Quote Wires71="Wires71"Apparently the clubs voted against derbies. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Weekend'" I've not even read your link but it's pretty obvious why. In fact I was about to make a post while reading this thread suggesting the teams would prefer random fixtures, well, most teams.

Noo,
the magic weekend should be kept as the last 16 of the cup, THEN add one more team, probably from the heartlands i.e. Widnes

Well I shall be going this weekend and am really looking forward to it. I've never been to a magic weekend before so fortunately will not have anything to compare it with. For me its not just about the rugby it's the banter with the other fans and having the opportunity of watching the teams we love to hate but that we secretly admire too.

Im extremely happy playing Salford, much better chance of getting the two points and moving top, rather than playing, say, Wigan and losing and them increasing the lead. Go back to derbys. Wigan Vs Sts, Wire Vs Salford

Possible places to play
[u
Newcastle[/u (good night out)
[uEmirates[/u (Islington Angel decent night out, good stadium helps bring it to Landon and the media types)
[uMillennium Stadium [/u(Cardiff and Wales like their rugby, plus bad weather aversion with the roof)
[uDublin[/u (personally don't see the point)
[uTwickenham[/u (waits for abuse) could help out Quins
[uEdinburgh[/u (nice city but no one seems to be interested)
Not Wembley or Old Trafford for obvious reasons
[uVilla Park[/u (whose to say the midlands wouldn't be a good idea)
[uParis[/u (If Ireland is being talked about why not the capital of a country that actually have teams playing in our comp)

Thoughts ?
