It was my understanding the Magic Weekend was initiated to expand the game, that being the case whats to be gained from making fans drive half an hour to two hours max from their towns to tournament staged in the heartleands of the game?

What image will the game have is this too is a poorly attended tournament?

Its a joke when you consider there is nothing to do around the ground and its a good trek outside of the city centre, with poor transport links. Cardiff was great as the City Centre is on the doorstep of the ground and you can really make a weekend of it, rather than it being just ANOther game. At least if they'd had it at Old Trafford there are transport links to and from the ground and a number of pubs/restaurnats where fans could gather and make an atmosphere and weekend of it. Why do we always have to play St Helens? It's not really fair as we are just penalised year after year, while Warrington get an easy game. This extra game last Year (it could be argued) cost us the title!!!!!Would it not be a better idea for the RFL to move the Challenge Cup Final to say Old Trafford or Etihad to save the trip to Wembley and make the Magic Weekend.....well Magic again?

to be fair to him..... he did say it COULD be argued..... wouldn't be a very good argument though.
