40% up on last year Lewis has stated

Guess your not going then??? Each to their own but it seems the fans are picking up tickets late as their appetite for live RL gets the better of them.

As for no classic games for the first game of the season, i seem to remember our opener last season was a cracking game.... what we could see of it of course.

from whats been in the press recently its looking good with ticket sales ect but lets just see what the turnout is and i just hope that people get themself down there for what should be a great weekend and a great set of games

Tried everything to get to go, but just didn't work out! So I'm stuck watching it on TV.

Hope everybody that is going has a fantasic time, I've throughly enjoyed it in the past.

I am told they are going to play the KR anthem "Advance Australia Fair" before our kick off

could you not get on the day trip coach through WELTON VILLAGER?

with the exception of that game, of course

Everybody ready!?? After what feels like the longest offseason ever the greatest game is back! Starting at 8.30 with the NRL All Star game! Woooooo!

theres lots of talk wether the magic weekend is a good or bad concept for me its an absoulote craking concept that brings this great game together but the only problem is the crowd 30k on each day with 15-20k in at any time dosent look great when your playing in a 70-80k stadium and dosent give the sport much credibility. my suggestion is start the season with the derbies and as a heritage week so teams play in old kits ect with maybe double headers with every game on sky for example hull vs rovers and leeds vs bradford and cas vs huddersfield at elland road with saints vs wigan warrington vs widnes and crusaders vs salford at anfield with good promotion and cheap tickets with lots of marketing there no reason why these 2 days wont sell out resulting in 70-80k people for the opening round of super league then mid season you could hold the so called magic weekend in nottingham with the 7 games split at the city ground and pride park both grounds very close to each other and both hold around the 30k so the stadium would look full and would lead to an good atmosphere also has the expansion feel to it thoughts

Had a good weekend, but like you say the stadium is too big (or the crowds too small) - but I can't see where else they could play, the soccer teams won't want 7 games played on their pitches.

I love the idea of it all, and the weather could have been a lot worse, but I do prefer the May Bank Holiday, maybe try the last Bank Holiday in May rather than the first.
