great news... will create alot more intrest and ticket sales too.. cant wait!

super league 2011 to start with a bang

What did i tell you about a month ago

Ridiculous time of year to stage it. If it had been this year we would not have been able to go due to loads of snow all over the country.
It will be the first magic weekend I will miss, I have enjoyed all 4 so far, but not planning a weekend away for February.
The weather is far too unpredictable to plan a weekend away in February, and what an advert for the game on TV with even less in the stadium than there have been in May.
I believe the RFL have shot themselves in the foot with this one.

I am really annoyed about this - been to all the Magic Weekends so far but will not be going to this.How the RFL can possibly say that they have listened to the fans and this is what they want I have no idea. Big deal - they are going to close the roof to keep fans 'warm' -are they having a laugh, what about the temperature outside the stadium and if this year is anything to go by and we get the snow again then what?? If you look around the boards there doesn't seem to be much enthusiasm, I can see just another embarassing so called 'spectacle' on TV. What idiocy, I despair of those at Red Hall I really do..

I for one are happy about this, i think its the best move the RFL could have made. Think about it a lot of people go to the first game of the season wether it be home or away, this mixed with a cheap ticket and the chance to watch other teams and look at new signings etc under a closed roof so the weather does not effect the game. I think more people will go down the cardiff than ever before. However one thing is needed to make this a massive success, only let sky have 2 games or none. If they put every game on it will damage the crowd.

I think this is a good idea. It will give the competition a proper start to the season. As for complaining about the cold it is in a sheltered , roofed stadium. With a thermal vest and a hoodie it will be fine.

I cannot wait to go. Much better than Murrayfield.

An excellent idea - if it had been a lot closer to home so that fans could travel each day.

A lot of people have camped for the event. Not so now.

For me this is crazy timimg.

The school holidays start the weekend after. This makes it a difficult one for families to attend. The weather in February can also be awful.

If this had been at Old Trafford or one of the main footy grounds in the North then fine but in Wales, crazy.

It will be good for Giants though as it appears that local Derbies are coming back in. If so then it's back to playing Crusaders instead of Wigan !
