But that is only one game over the weekend, the magic weekend gives you 7.
It`s not just a weekend it is a festival of Rugby League.

In a stadium with a roof???

The stadiums are not even half full, we seen an average of 60K over 2 days, that's 30K a day and some of those (me included) have been double counted as I tend to do both days. Yes I have enjoyed myself, but the package as not taken off, and the festival of RL needs to be more affordable, more closer to the heartlands if the RL wants to promote the game.

Crikey we see Wembley not even half full for an England v Australia game yes Football gets 82K for a friendly, the same can be said in the heartlands RL is a minority sport, lets get more people interested, how many people watch other sports along the M62 corridor than RL.

All we seem to be doing is diluting the product not enhancing what we have in the heartlands, simples.

I bet you we see far more people attending in Manchester, and I bet those that do go will fully enjoy the experience, it'll be a lot lighter on the pocket too.

The problem was not the Stadium it`s getting there and back. And the snow we have experienced over the last 2 winters really put me off attempting it.
