Waste of time having it in Manchester. On course for the lowest attendance yet.

Not sure on that logic. Not a great fan of the concept but it still may be the first one I go to due to proximity.

I'm pretty sure the Eithad Stadiums capacity is lower than the calculated "average" attendance of previous years.

But they'll do a 'calculated' average for the Eithad too. If they get 45,000 on Saturday and 30,000 on Sunday, they'll announce a 75,000 crowd.

I think you need to put your foot down and not let 'the partner' determine what you watch icon_smile.gif

Rugby league is pretty much non-existant in manchester.

Apart from a few towns in lancashire and yorkshire, we arent a majority sport , even in the M62 corridor.

It'll get the best crowds to date by a way IMO so don't get your thinking on the 2nd point.

As for a waste of time? Everyone's opinions will differ on that score but I'm happy enough. It'll bring in revenue and exposure to the sport that a normal round wouldn't and whilst I backed and attended every magic event a lot of people don't and 'say' that due to the cost of travel and accommodation so there's no excuse on that front anymore.

Good post. Going round the various sites on RLfans the reaction has been very positive so far.

In all honesty she's doing me a favour. Will i really want to watch Hudds/Wire & Cas/Wakey again like last year?
As I say, that was only due to travelling all that way & wanting my money's worth.
They've lost this spectator I'm afraid

I can imagine I'm one of many who will hopefully be able to make it now it's a bit closer to home. So it's not gained a new audience in Wales... there's no welsh team in superleague anymore so what would be the point?.. I enjoyed the first few trips to Cardiff in the days where I was "wealthy" enough to be able to afford this weekend, the challenge cup weekend, a weekend in France, trips to London etc all in one season, but now I have to pick and choose, and going to Manchester won't really be much of a problem. I don't know why people are so dead set against Manchester. It's a great city Just like Cardiff and Edinburgh, It has bars just like any other city, It's got good enough transport in and out...with the added bonus that you can either stay over just like anywhere else.. but also be close enough to home if that's easier/more affordable. People just seem to be upset that they don't have to travel 200 miles icon_confused.gif In all honesty I think people may be slowly giving up on the idea but I can't see the attendances being any worse than Cardiff or Edinburgh. But I do think this is the last chance the concept has, and if it doesn't catch on this year then maybe its about time they gave up.

One thing it will do is be a good indicator of how popular this event actually is and whether RL supporters have taken to the Magic weekend once and for all.

If the ticket take up is low, this event is dead on its backside.

maybe it'll attract fans like me who couldnt afford to travel hundreds of miles to watch a league game.

i'll definitely be going, and i doubt i'll be alone as a first time magic attendee.

the only ones who wont go are the bandwagoners who see it as a p!ss up event.
