| Quote: Beverley red "Back in Newcastle (which I don't mind) But is it just me who see this the RFL/super league/SKY just tacking the pee out of supporters. why have we to have a third derby game again (queue 6 easy points from the dark side) with the possibility of two or three more if we do well & draw them in the cup. Apart from the fact it puts the league out of true it takes away the interest in derby games as they are becoming common place. I am not against the concept but why can't they just say that that day is the last 16 of the cup? that still gives 8 games over 2 days & won't affect the home away rotation of super league. A bonus is that lower division gets a chance gets of a shot at the big day.'"
With the friendly it will be 4 derby games which is 2 many |

Not only that but with the emotion involved on both sides it is detrimental to both in the following game

| Quote: Marcus's Bicycle "Absolutely agree. I posted much the same on the Hull forum. I'm all for expanding the game but this concept is dying death and the format has to be changed or gotten rid of.
They have chosen the Hull derby as they know both Clubs probably bring the most fans. On that basis why aren't Wigan Playing Saints? Speak to any of their fans and they will tell you it's the biggest Derby in Super League.'"
The fact that Wigan and Saints finished the 'regular' season in 6th and 7th makes the decision for them not to play each other all the more baffling. |

Hull KR the pride of East Hull.: |
|
|
According to league express. Rovers specifically asked the rfl that they did not play Hull.
Partly because of the growing dissatisfaction of the over saturation of the Derby. Which is being voiced byou both sets of fans. But the RFL turned it down.

Why wouldn't they, I suppose? MW makes the RFL a load of money.
It's a shame really, as MW or "On the Road" games, if done correctly could be great for the game. But to do that, the RFL need to invest in local marketing & development officers, ensuring that the event is attended by as many locals as possible, and some sort of lasting legacy is left behind at grassroots level.
But, Magic Weekend's sole purpose now is to make money for the RFL, nothing more. They've literally created an extra round of fixtures to fill their pockets.
Regards to the Derby, I fully agree with Rovers' view on it. |

Agree. I personally would like to see instead of it all being held at one place. A weekend we're games are held at different non RL grounds. (I expect Cas v Leeds in Middlesbrough etc). Which as you say if done rightly can attract big crowds promote the sport and hopefully get young kids playing it.
In my opinion Magic Weekend has pretty much had its day now. And as you say is now all about money for the rfl. As is international rugby nowadays.
Craven park sorry if its old news. I don't live in Hull, so don't get the Hull daily Mail. |

Occasionally, very slowely. Sometimes we even get same day stories
But even if it did run properly, The Hull Daily Mail website would be one of the last I'd read. It was crap when I lived in Hull. Can't see it improving since I left.

If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

Amazingly, using the web site has actually made the experience worse.
I true triumph of ineptitude.

Just for clarification......Rovers keep the entire proceeds of all Magic Weekend ticket sales made through the club.
As do all the clubs. The decision to go again with the Hull derby was not made for the financial gain of the RFL.
Hull FC did not request that there should be no Hull derby so you can't please everyone.
Hull KR v Widnes? Not going to excite too many people surely.
