What would you consider Normal price and 'not over the odds'? Also surely the Train is much quicker than 6 hour coach journey. |

Just got my tickets for Magic Weekend. Six games for just £20 if you are a season ticket holder and a tenner for concessions. Practically giving them away. Where else could you get such value?
Personally I'm happy it's Leeds. A clash of the two best supported teams in the league, if the game is as good as the last two at Citeh, then the other games are a bonus.
Can't wait.

Nice to hear somebody not bag the fixture list. I have no issue with any of them. The games on our day this year were all superb and here's hoping for more of the same next time.
If that Leeds game is anywhere near as good as this time we're in for a treat. |

All I could remember from this years game was Gelling's try and the biff just before half time. The rest was just a big blur the morning after. |

Whitley Bay is a s--t hole, think Morecambe but 10 times worse. Luckily Tynemouth is just 2 miles down the coast. |

Train from Wigan is about 3 1/2hrs including changes (2 min) there and back so would be quicker on coach.
There are no hotels available in Newcastle centre when I checked so its a taxi drive to hotel at end of the night and considering not spending much time in the hotel makes it a costly trip, so I think the coach is the best option for me. |

Thinking about the fixture list. We do seem hung up on the fairness of it all. In the NRL they play 24 games and in a 16 team league that means they play 9 teams twice and 6 teams just the once. Home advantage seems to count for little.
Very few teams play at just the one home ground. I find this odd, but NZW play at about 4 different grounds. The Bulldogs play on the road quite a lot, even playing one home game in Perth. The ANZ stadium seems to be home ground to at least 3 teams. Heaven knows how they sell season passes.
Also it's much harder to travel away. I don't expect many Gold Coast fans travel to Melbourne for example.
