Whitley Bay for me and the missis!!Gunna get Mortall!!!





They have obviously had the heads up in Newcastle,as nearly everywhere is already booked up,or... you are paying £200 for 2 nights.

Booked yesterday - Hotel Indigo in the city centre.

Let's see who we face come November.....

I'm not going and I don't support the concept; with the return of P&R, it's wholly unfair to include an extra money-spinning round, where the opponents are chosen by the RFL based on some stupid 'derby' concept - which doesn't actually exist outside of Hull and Wakefield.

Bar humbug! I've been to every one do far. The event itself is fantastic. I've never had a bad experience apart from the arctic coldness when in the shade in Edinburgh. Magic Weekend brings out the best in all supporters who go for a great weekend it's very much like challenge cup weekend where the atmosphere is super friendly rather than grand final where it's aggressive and ed.

I don't doubt that - but the 2 points that some teams will be gifted take on new relevance when P&R is back in effect; for that reason, I don't think it fits with the new structure.

Maybe it would be better suited to a CC round or just a normal weekly round of SL, but for an arbitrary set of fixtures designed by the RFL, it's not fair.

Would you support if it was done on Easter weekend rather than have 2 games in 4 days? Only issue for me would be the weather at that time of year

It's tosh and it's outgrown it's original inclusion. It's x factor in sport and you can keep it. It's the extra fixture I have always objected to and with pro and relegation points become more valuable. If it must be played make it part of the regular season .

Agree about the unfairness of having to play an extra round against teams that may not be well matched, for example if Bradford had been relegated by 1 point and they had lost to Hudds in their Magic fixture while Salford only had to beat Widnes.

BUT - it's still not enough to stop me going to every one, such a great day for RL and always welcome the opportunity to see some of the big boys live and the Hull derby is always a spectacle.

I have no interest in it at all. I watch our match on TV and that's all.
