Keep it in Newcastle for me, great stadium, bars close to the ground, locals who are intrigued about the game and can easily become converts with a bit more of a marketing push.

Never going to happen and would be too much money to expect people to shell out BUT how good would a weekend in France be for a magic weekend

The only problem is that Newcastle United are in the Championship next season. Could the Play-offs be an issue? Would depend on what date the Magic weekend is on.

Its funny you suggest another country actually cos I was thinking of Ireland the other day and go to Aviva Stadium, holds about same as Newcastle and is a really modern ground; not far to go in terms of another country and another way to try to tap into a new market. As you say though, foreign countries are never going to happen but just a thought I had.

No, for me stay in Newcastle, easy to get to for people not driving with it being close to the centre of town and the train station and a nice atmosphere city and modern ground plus we have set weekend attendance records two years in a row now so seemingly gaining some momentum up there.

Elland road??? no thanks, seats so cramped together your knees are tucked upto your chin! plus its hardly a neutral venue (unless the whinos get relegated)

newcastle is perfect, ticks off the vast majority of things needed for fans

Please not Elland Road. It's an awful ground, I'm only short yet I struggled to sit in the seats for the International a few years ago. Also, it isn't that close to the City Centre and certainly not within the walking distance that St James's Park is.

How about Nottinghams city ground, prefer Manchester to Newcastle, sick off trying to ram RL down citys that aint interested. I only suggest Notts because that would be handy for me. Would be nice to have a magic weekend in a city that would actually get behind it, lets face it 70,000 over 2 days, is still pretty poor

Newcastle will do for me. The Etihad is a fantastic stadium but it isn't as close to the facilities as SJP. I hope we can get the bank holiday weekend next year too.

One other plus - they seems to have relaxed the stupid "no food if you haven't bought it in the stadium" thing as well

Yeh agree about location off the Etihad , and also the bank holiday would be much better

Nottingham would be perfect, great transportation links and within the city itself, central so for folks further South it's not so much of a journey and actually closer than Newcastle for everyone in the heartland areas with about 1.5 hours by car from Hull and to the furthest West St.helens plus just over an hour from central Leeds. By comparison newcastle is an extra hours drive.
BUT, it only has a capacity of just over 30k

Aggregate attendances only went up by 400 on last years total and 68,000 for 6 games is not that great considering the average attendances for the games in regular season. Making it easier/shorter distance for ALL fans from all parts of the country to get to the stadium should be high on the list of priorities.
There was actually a co-offer of the Kcom/KC lightstream being used next year as part of the 2017 CoC but it was deemed not sufficient for the numbers attending on any one day.

My choice would be Hillsborough, still central and still closer for all fans from all clubs plus closer for fans in the Southern parts too.
