Supporters attending the Magic Weekend in Edinburgh will benefit from three times the action this May as not only will they be able to watch seven games of engage Super League but they will also be able to listen to the referee or Sky match commentary during each game from the comfort of their Murrayfield stadium seat.

Special ‘In Stadia Radios’, retailing at £5 each, will be available to purchase on both days of the Magic Weekend (2/3May) via mobile sellers at Murrayfield giving supporters a unique insight into each of the seven games.

Phil Williams, RFL Marketing Manager, said: “We want our supporters to have a full and enjoyable experience at the Magic Weekend. That is why we’re adding to their entertainment by giving fans the opportunity to tune into the referee or listen to what Eddie and Stevo have to say during each game.

“The ‘In Stadio Radios’ are an excellent way of allowing supporters to experience all aspects of rugby league matches. They are easy to use and have volume controls so that you will be able to hear the commentary even if the crowd atmosphere is loud.”

It’s not just May’s Magic Weekend that will benefit from ‘In Stadia Radio’ this season. The RFL has agreed a partnership with Sound Decisions Ltd that will see radios available at August’s Carnegie Challenge Cup Final at Wembley and also October’s engage Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford.

Might get one and see if it works at the cricket. Usually £20 there.

I dont listen to them pillocks when i watch RL on sky so why would i want to listen to them at the game?

With 7 matches I guess it won't be Eddie & Stevo every game.

It might do. It's website states they have provided this for........

* nPower Ashes Test Cricket at the Oval
* Twenty20 Cricket at the Oval and the Rose Bowl
* International Cricket throughout the UK
* Ashes Cricket in Australia
* Australian Beach Cricket

..........aswell as other sports like Horse Racing, Darts, Snooker etc

£5

ermmmm Burger or The Hairpiece n slaphead ....... could i have sauce on that that please

Would they work during other super league games after the magic weekend?

Don't think so. Would be a good investment if they did.

Usually they only work for the specific event, i also got the impression they may well sell one for each day so 2 X £5 i hope im wrong

still got mine from c cup final 2 years ago i'll take it and give it a try .

I bought one of the "Ref's Call" radios for the test series a few years back, was still trying to find the frequency when Morley made his high shot on Kearns - missed the whole thing!

One for the entire weekend. What's different about this one is that it provides the choice of Sky commentary as well as the ref. Good for watching teams you ain't to familiar with.

Good idea but im sure they have tried this before maybe with a differant company and they didnt work due to the crowd noise, but with 35000 spaced out they may work better.
