Magic Weekend set for record low crowd

[wall_of_voodoo]

"Magic" as it stand will end anyway next season as the Challenge Cup final moves to the end of May.

Hopefully these crappy repeating fixtures are kicked into touch and replaced with meaningful cup competitions such as the Lanc's Cup and Regal Trophy.

Something the fans can actually get excited about and see a reward for winning. Maybe place handicaps on SL teams in the regional trophy games to give junior players first team quality experience and also draw crowds to the smaller clubs hopeful of winning against "bigger" opponents

Something has to give and if we are to have reserve fixtures then fully utilize the playing pool of all the teams but not in meaningless fixtures

These loop fixtures just don’t work time for a rethink if we have to have the 29 game season,though into what I don’t know

I haven’t been to Magic since Edinburgh! We broke down coming back from Preston then found out my wife was pregnant! May have put me off somewhat and somehow

Why don’t we just promote Toulouse and Toronto then there is no need for repeat fixtures. Magic is yet another own goal for the powers that be who are running, or should I say ruining, our great sport. Why on earth would you take it to Anfield?

The magic weekend is going nowhere at least for a couple of years after Dacia re upped their sponsorship deal, lets just hope its not Anfield again next year.

If the Challenge Cup final is in May next season i think that rules out any football ground as i am pretty sure that no football club is going to allow 6 rugby matches to be played on their pitch during or close to the football season . I believe that Spurs can lift the football pitch very quickly to accommodate NFL games but is the pitch below not a AstroTurf one . I doubt many RL clubs would be happy with that given the number of clubs that rested players when the Widnes away fixture came calling .

Regarde EW

If I remember rightly the challenge cup final will be in July next season so not sure where this idea it’s in May has come from

Can’t find anything to say it’s moved to May at all

There can be no excuse for the low turn out other than Liverpool has no attraction.
