FANS booking ahead for next season's Millennium Magic opening weekend in February are in for a shock.
Cardiff hotel rates have soared, with one hoisting prices from £75 a night for bed and breakfast to £180. Another is also demanding £180 - up from £60.


From the Sun Rugby League page

Yeah someone was telling me yesterday. To be honest I can't see why anyone would want to stay over. Personally it'll be a day trip for me I reckon. In and out with no interest in other games.

Looking at the League Express letters page it was 100% negativity. Think its the dropped bollock of all dropped b*llocks by the RFL this time.

Thats why i know a very good man who gets Very Good Deals

Some half decent hotel prices if booked through the Superleague Millenium Magic web site. www.millenniummagic.co.uk/

i took a gamble and booked mine three weeks ago for £60 a night [i(with cancellation upto midday if needed)[/i, i've just double checked and the same room is now £158

I did the same had hotels booked all over the country depending on the rumours i had heard . Got one in Cardiff for £70 / night B & B with the option of the Marriott @ £100 / Night B & B if i am feeling flush. Both can be cancelled at 24 hours notice .

Plenty of threads and posts asking to take Magic weekend back to Cardiff (easier access to pubs and stadim, better atmosphere etc). RFL apparently listen and move the event back to Millenium stadium and everyone is up in arms.
Plenty of threads and posts asking for there to be some kind of big event to start the season thus getting rid of the staggered start we've had in the past. Again the RFL apparently listen and announce that the opening round will be played on the same weekend at the same magnificent rugby stadium, yet people are still not happy.

Did anyone on those threads actually ask for Cardiff in feb?

Have a check yourself
I'd have loved a Magic style opening weekend somewhere like Eastlands or Anfield, but no football club is going to let us near their pitch in February.
The tickets will be cheap again, but I fear the hotel prices will put many off. I was going to fly in to Bristol, get the train up to Cardiff then fly back to Girona from Liverpool on the Monday, but if some of those hotel prices are true it will be too much for me.
