Only problem with that is who's "home game" does it count as

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.

Will Shakira be there?

I was freezing in Ediburgh so I put my pyjamas under my clothes on the second day. That was July! How cold is it going to be sitting through 4 matches in February.

They can't make it part of the regular fixtures because Wigan would miss out on a 20,000 gate and large receipts or Saints would miss out on a good gate at Anfield, possibly.

Scrap it, its a horrible, cringeworthy money making disaster. Half empty stadium for every game, no atmosphere and too expensive. Rubbish.

It is the 27th game. A game that's not needed nor wanted.
Scrap the whole idea! Back to derbies too, another failed idea that's being flogged to death.
Cardiff in February? Snow, fog, torrential rain, it will really be fun for those who go there.
After this it won't be too long before they cancel it!

As much as you all keep harping on about it being in feb, come the crunch youll still be there.

Ill be there if they played it on new yaers eve at 2330

That would mean one of the "derby" teams giving up a home game once every two years. Can't see any of the SL chairmen agreeing to losing one of their biggest gate receipts of the season

Thats what i mean. Fans that will go watch there team no matter when. Ill agree with you there, id go also

Who would drink lager in Dublin? You've never tasted Guinness stout until you have drank it in Dublin.

Cardiff in Feb, no thanks, been to Cardiff twice, the first Murrayfield but not this year, expensive, cold, no atmosphere in stadium, stadium too far out, scrap it.

Love the stuff !!!
