Play the Magic Weekend but change the format to a sevens or nines competition, making available a extra trophy to win each season. Make it that teams have to have at least 2/3 players from their academy setup and that would promote the junior English Players onto a Sky audience.

Why not just bring back the Charity Shield at a decent size football ground outside the heartland?

Make the package affordable to all fans to tempt a few neutrals and give out free tickets via local conference teams

Cardiff one year Newcastle the next and so on

it has been suggsted putting the whole of the starting round on at somewhere like Eastlands. But there's no way a Premiership team is going to allow half a dozen rugby matches to be played on their pitch in the middle of February

As the season stands now this is how the Magic Weekend should be

Wigan v Wire
Saints v Hull FC
Leeds v Huddersfield
Hull KR v Crusaders
Castleford v Wakefield
Bradford v Salford
Catalans v Quins

who can complain with that ?
1st game should be the bottom 2 clubs and work your way up
If it was to stay like that you could actually know who you are playing and on what day(Sat or Sun) and time before they even released the fixture.

Yeh I think playing the fixtures based on the previous seasons final league positions is the best/fairest way to do it. However I wouldnt play them in order from bottom up as this would make the first day extremely poor.

Now confirmed for February

Madness?
