Does anyone know if this is still the cards and still at Cardiff next year? If it is I presume it will again be a local derby and, if so, the pre-season friendly with the Thundersharks will again be cancelled as per this year?

in this mornings press the sun states the rugby league are looking at putting the magic weekend at man citys ground in may

Nice ground, but a dodgy area.

That would be insane, in a good way. The ground would be full for the most part, probably why they selected it as a choice, I'd welcome that. Been to watch city a fair few times, know my way around those parts.

You cross through a 'rough' area to get to it but it's based in and around industrial units, there's a cemetery close by too. Barely as frightening as, say, walking from train station to the KC.

I'd welcome this move, shuttle distance too.

Take it to Geordieland I say

I'd hate nothing more, plus, it'd be a home game for FC then.

Is there anything around Eastlands?

A little river thingy, a cemetery and some industrial units, some shops and 'local' pubs a small walk and a 2for1 style family pub 5 mins out. There's loads of space for the millennium style mobile bars and stalls around the ground.

by a fair few do you mean once or twice

We went to all home games and most away games for 2 years in order to collect enough points on our access card to have priority purchase for the Manchester derby.

Thanks for your interest.

my apologies i thought you meant hull city who have played there twice,so you are a noisy neighbour in two sports then

Eastlands would be worse than Edinburgh.

Keep it at Cardiff, rubbish pubs right next to to the ground for spanners like divoz to go in, leaving all the good pubs which are a five minute walk away for all the brilliant people like me.

Must admit if it's anywhere Cardiff is the best location even if it's not in the RL heartland, really enjoyed last year (the result helped of course)

Having been there for Take That concert I'd say nowt compared to Cardiff!
