The Sun (I know!) thinks so.

Back where it belongs, no complaints when it was down here last.

Mmm yeah. Er ... yay

MM p i s s e d off from S Wales not long before CC p i s s e d off from S Wales.

You thought the grass was greener and the cash more plentiful and dropped us faster than an English Goalkeeper.

Thanks but no thanks. Surely there's a "heartlands" stadium that you would all prefer because it's within easy driving distance?

Stay away thanks. We can do without the £3.50 that hosting your massive festival of "rugby" would bring in.

Well the last MM was May 2008 if i remember and the Celtic Crusaders ceased last November, over a year later so I don't think the one had much bearing on the other directly.

The way the event is packaged and promoted to the 'heartlands' fans, interested locals such as me and those who might give it go on the day needs to be looked at though and targeted better than it has previously, I stumbled upon it myself in 2007 otherwise wouldn't have known, don't expect any favours from the WRU despite the hefty milstone they have to pay off on the place .

If he's who I suspect he is then no, just the voice of the Bridgend Blue Bulls, either way he gives mythical beasts a bad name, ignore him & he'll go away

I'm not surprised poor Grendel feels bitter towards the Crusaders.

He was always a big fan of the Celtic Crusaders in Bridgend... but sadly like so many other South Wales fans he got shafted when they upped sticks to Wrexham

DAIHAPPY,
No mate. I'm not Simon or wpfib, though I know them both.
I support no rugby side of any code any more since the most recent Great Betrayal (though I wish the South Wales Scorps well).
Now and again I just like to come on and poke old wounds.
Ignoring me does not make me go away. and I do not give mythical creatures a bad name because
1) I am not a mythical creature. This is just a messageboard username
2) Grendel was a mythical troll. Given messageboard parlance, do you fail to see the connection?

it would be good to see MM back in south wales! clearly brought more fans down here than up edinburgh. wembley got the Challenge cup and old trafford got SL grand final so why cant the Millennium stadium get the magic weekend? seems fair to me.

well i for 1 will be well pleased if its back. i spent 2 great weekends there for MM. great venue, great stadium and great atmos in the surrounding pubs, totally agree it should be marketed more - i camped at a rugby union club in cardiff and talking to there players in the clubhouse, they knew nothing about it till the campers arrived. now if you are going to market the weekend to the local, then surely the local rugby clubs should be high on the list,

Absolutely BRILLIANT news and MASTERFUL marketing putting on a minority (to the point of being miniscule now in S Wales) sport in the main stadium for RU in Britain IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 6 NATIONS. p i s s i n g myself with laughter right now.

No probs with RL. But the capriciousness of the RFL is worthy of comment and I think my feelings about the Crusaders' continued hypocritical efforts to pretend they still give an excrement about South Wales are reasonably well known.

MM shafted Wales like Crusaders shafted South Wales. I'll speak out for as long as it holds my interest. Ban me if you like. I've actually tried to delete my account before but there doesn't seem to be a procedure for doing so. I know that most messageboard "moderators" only support free speech insofar as it agrees with their prejudices. So prove me right. Bin me. Otherwise shut yer whining and learn to accept or counter dissenting views without "taking offence"

Bizarre rant aside, Cardiff was outbid by Edinburgh for the Magic Weekend. You cannot blame the RFL, if the Cardiff tourist board was no longer interested then they had no option but to look elsewhere. I don't think it was ever intended to be a Welsh-exclusive event, and it honestly baffles me that you can develop and hold these strange grudges.

I REALLY can't decide whether you're being thick or disingenuous (probably a bit of both).
Nobody is claiming anything is anti-Welsh you goon!
The RFL went money chasing to Scotland after bitching that the Millenium Stadium should have promoted the event better. The RFL didn't want to publicise their own event. Probably didn't want to pay any of the advertising budget for their own event then wondered why hardly any locals turned up.

The Crusaders, after mismanagement by Samuel and Turner, were meant to move to Newport but then p i s s e d off to Wrexham, treacherously abandoning new stadium plans in a desperate attempt to regain their underserved franchise on the cheap. They triumphantly trumpeted the "greater" fanbase. Novelty matches aside, the Great Betrayal netted them on average 600 extra attendees per match (probably the travel averse away fans that didn't attend in S Wales). THEN there is all the spin from Crusaders HQ that S Wales attendance was crap incomparison to Wrexham. Yeah 3 matches where the locals were curious, dismissed the sport as rubbish (wrongly IMO. It's just the club and the governing body that are rubbish) and never went again!

Spin it all you want Headhunter (it's obvious which little heads you hunt). You know you are playing to a tame audience that will vigorously agree with you. But deep down, under all the desperate denial, you KNOW I'm right.
