Even though it is close for us, Liverpool is still worth an overnight stay.

Not when the cheapest hotel is £97, and Premier Inn are wanting £199.

Unless you want to be in a room with 6 people then you can get somewhere for £26.

Don't go in your car , you'll come back without any hub caps.

I think 10,000 is VERY optimistic!!

Do cars still have hub caps these days?

The 1980’s have just been on the phone. They want their joke back

They've got plenty spare in St Helens anyway. Not a lot else though that wasn't gifted to them for years.

I was talking to an ex safety officer yesterday who still has friends associated with different clubs. Some of them had a safety briefing related to the Magic Weekend games and were told that ticket sales were way down on previous years. I think he said that less than 20,000 had been sold in total.

That’s an awful amount

To be honest, I can’t see the Yorkshire clubs bringing as many as usual to Magic. There is no Hull derby, Leeds are playing London etc
Obviously Wire and Saints will take the most I would expect, being local and playing well. Wigan, due to their current form, maybe a little less.

Local Newcastle folk interest was thought to be upwards of 10 to 20% of the gate I heard a radio journalists once say.

I think we'd be lucky to get up to 2% of the scouse community at Liverpool...however I would expect up to 2-3k more team support from St Helens and 1-2k more Wire fans..and perhaps 500-1k more from Wigan that'll off set the local shortfall.

2% of the scouse community at Liverpool should boost the crowd by 44,000.
