I'm struggling to talk myself into going to ealing let alone go to liverpool

Not my favorite of the venues Magic has been played at. I would put it on a par with Murrayfield. Cardiff is the one I liked most of all. I cannot comment on Newcastle as I never went there. My friends say it was good though.

Still puzzled me why it went there, apart from the obvious link with a certain person.
Having experienced Anfield the thought of watching 3 games a day rammed in to those seats totally put me off.
I really hope they consider spurs but with CC final in London I suspect that will be enough to put them off.
At least this year London played at a decent time

The Cardiff MW's were the best, would be great if they could take it back there.

Problem with Cardiff is apparently lack of hotels and prices of hotels, where as it was a breeze getting somewhere to stay in liverpool last weekend!
I know some folk suggest giving it a few years! Reality is Anfield is not moving anytime soon, places to eat and drink outside the venue are not going to appear, overall it's just a poor venue for this type of event.
Man city ground was better option if you want to keep it in NW

It was not a breeze finding a hotel in Liverpool. Rooms were very expensive. Decent priced rooms were hard to find. What did not help was it was Liverpool marathon weekend. Prices were already high before Magic was announced.
I for one would not be bothered, if it was not held in the North West. Go back to Newcastle I think would be the best idea.
