Would be great

I'll try harder to get mates along next time!

I think we have been well represented at Newcastle in the past.

I agree. The point is, every person is 100% income for the club.

We do OK. We could do better.

That's entirely new news - it wouldn't harm to publicise that; I don't think I'm the only person who had no idea that it was arranged like that. Might even persuade a few more to attend.

Personally, I don't like it as a concept; the whole extra round thing, with contrived 'derbies,' has handed easy points to teams who really didn't need them; and whilst I can see the appeal for some people, I just have no desire to sit in a massive stadium all day, supping ale and watching other teams.

Good point but this is RL.

For all of you who are thinking of going to magic in Newcastle you need to book your hotel's asap before their increase the price's. link on VT Thread.

Booked my hotel a few days ago after reading prediction of place and dates on here.

I hoped some would take advantage before the rush

We did, thank you.

Speculation is that it would be Wakefield v Hull KR, if they use the same formula as last year for fixture compilation. How do you guys feel about that?

I'd be happy with that, should make us a mid afternoon game (depending on other fixtures) rather than first on Sunday.
