| Cardiff and Edinburgh were great cities to host the day with both Cardiff great for the city centre location and Edinburgh with its space perfect for day-long events.
Twickenham would be good place for it too.
City of Manc is in the middle of nowhere which is a shame and its a soccer stadium so really only designed to get people in and out as quickly as possible.
Love magic weekend and love sitting there slightly hungover on day 2 sipping a beer and sitting in the sun watching footie
Perhaps have it as the 5th round of the challenge cup or something

Aye, Murrayfield was ideally located, miles outside of the city centre. And why would anyone voluntarily want to have a day/night out in Cardiff? There will be a tram to the Etihad by 2012 (albeit not in time for this years event), and its no further than a taxi ride from the city centre. No idea why that is the "middle of nowhere", I assume the JJB is in the middle of nowhere too? You are beginning to sound like one of those supporters you despise, moaning and making excuses.

1649_1338292262.jpg I have followed the LONDON CLUB since I was in my teensl even though born in St Helens and still live nearby and went to the first game at Fulham, also Big West Ham Supporter:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_1649.jpg |

Don't think any decisions made have been as a result of a concerted campaign from northern supporters about never going further south than billinge lump, it's a commercial decision'"
Errr - Well only 7,000 Saints fans were willing to travel a few miles down the road to Widnes this last season?
You have to respect the RFL in some ways they do not fall to the cries of those who hate anything outside of
the M62 corridor.
Ethihad is a good stadium and quite accessible but not that far from the City Centre.
Wonder if the RFL may announce a sponsor for Super League when the fixtures come out this Friday??

Area around murrayfield is perfect for a rugby festival. Loads of stalls and bars plus the space around the stadium is ideal for tailgating - flag footie tournie
Cardiff (and Manchester but the Gf is already there) is a great party town
Can't wait for magic weekend just some venues better suited than others
City's ground is great but better suited to football than a rugby festival.
What didn't you like about MM at Cardiff and Edinburgh that ethiad does better?

They were in Cardiff and Edinburgh, and the Etihad is in Manchester.
Tailgating is a horrible phenomeon that I hope never catches on here.

| What people haven't mentioned is the recession.
People don't want to spend hundreds to watch something they could see at home. Travel to Cardiff from all places Super League clubs are located is a bloody long distance to cover and will not be the cheapest coach/train journey. You have to then factor in hotels, match tickets and money to spend on whatever and its a massively expensive weekend for people whether they're from London or Wigan.
At least with Manchester, coach travel for 12/14 clubs will be cheap, its almost a home game for some teams and they can be back at home at a respectable hour and not spending out hundreds on hotels, booze and spending money. If there's a full house at the Stadium for both or even one day; it'll look far better for those watching on tele and will hopefull be a better experience for those at the ground.

I'm sure you would advocate including it in our average attendance, nobody will notice afterall.
