I think it is our duty to look upon these weekends as missionary work and need to use our time wisely to convert the uneducated to the powers of Rugby League . Spent all weekend trying to explain the finer points to Rugby Union fans . Newcastle and the stadium were great . I would move the fan zone to Northumberland Street and get the kids of the Saturday/Sunday shoppers involved in the fun and show the people of Newcastle what a fun time being a Rugby League fan really is .

Thought the stewarding inside the stadium was a bit over zealous at times (to start with) but once the stewards realised we were not football fans and there for a party they bought into it big time .

Regards , EW

Quote: Edinburgh Warrior "While i will be the first to admit that the Edinburgh Magic Weekends were probably the worst of the weekends so far (with the exception of Cardiff in February. Who ever thought of that one wants shooting) i cant understand the people who use the excuse that the stadium location as an excuse . Its as close to the city centre in Edinburgh as the Etihad is to Manchester .

AND its only 400.75 yards from my house
But for Manchester the majority were there for the day I'd have thought and many will go straight to the stadium.

It wasn't a disaster but the feel just wasn't as good although I appreciate its a quick roll home for yourself icon_biggrin.gif

I've journeyed in the frozen wastes, I'll have you know!

I well remember the time I rode home from Inverness to Wiltshire on my motorbike in a day. That's 600+ miles. Been up to Cape Wrath, too.

well, if we're trading frozen wastes trump cards, I was on Hermaness on Friday & the northernmost human in the UK (for about 30 minutes).

(and Antarctica is pretty cool too)

Quote: NickyKiss "Can't argue with much of that. We certainly don't need any additional fixtures so to cut it back by one would be a shout.

The only thing I can't go for is a nine comp. I think it works in the NRL because it already has a decent profile compared to over here. I don't think we'd get enough casual viewers to make it work and I think a lot of magic regulars may turn away from the event. I don't in all honesty think it would be for me but you never know. I'm a cricket fan as well and even with it's huge profile I've never been able to see T20 as more then a laugh and even the world cup feels like friendlies to me with Test matches being the 'main event'. I suppose what that does show though is these things can work because T20 is huge and appeals to the every day man in the street but again I'd g back to the fact the game has a big profile already from which to build when compared to league.'"


Tbh I'm glad we're only debating where it could be and what the format of it should be. When it was first announced as Newcastle I thought there was a real possibility we could now be talking about scrapping it.

Whatever format they use and wherever it is, I would definitely look to move it slightly later into the summer and bring the CCF forward to May/June. We know how much the CCF can affect league form and there's no way it should be slap bang in the middle of the Super 8's stage (not that it is going to affect us this year icon_lol.gif)

May: Challenge Cup Final
July: Magic Weekend
October: Grand Final

I love the thought that anybody could be "wildly ambivalent"!
I think a venue in the South West would be good for next year.
