Whitley Bay for me and the missis!!Gunna get Mortall!!!





They have obviously had the heads up in Newcastle,as nearly everywhere is already booked up,or... you are paying £200 for 2 nights.

Booked yesterday - Hotel Indigo in the city centre.

Let's see who we face come November.....

I'm not going and I don't support the concept; with the return of P&R, it's wholly unfair to include an extra money-spinning round, where the opponents are chosen by the RFL based on some stupid 'derby' concept - which doesn't actually exist outside of Hull and Wakefield.

Bar humbug! I've been to every one do far. The event itself is fantastic. I've never had a bad experience apart from the arctic coldness when in the shade in Edinburgh. Magic Weekend brings out the best in all supporters who go for a great weekend it's very much like challenge cup weekend where the atmosphere is super friendly rather than grand final where it's aggressive and ed.

I don't doubt that - but the 2 points that some teams will be gifted take on new relevance when P&R is back in effect; for that reason, I don't think it fits with the new structure.

Maybe it would be better suited to a CC round or just a normal weekly round of SL, but for an arbitrary set of fixtures designed by the RFL, it's not fair.

Would you support if it was done on Easter weekend rather than have 2 games in 4 days? Only issue for me would be the weather at that time of year

It's tosh and it's outgrown it's original inclusion. It's x factor in sport and you can keep it. It's the extra fixture I have always objected to and with pro and relegation points become more valuable. If it must be played make it part of the regular season .

Agree about the unfairness of having to play an extra round against teams that may not be well matched, for example if Bradford had been relegated by 1 point and they had lost to Hudds in their Magic fixture while Salford only had to beat Widnes.

BUT - it's still not enough to stop me going to every one, such a great day for RL and always welcome the opportunity to see some of the big boys live and the Hull derby is always a spectacle.

I have no interest in it at all. I watch our match on TV and that's all.

Also been to everyone so far and have to admit a soft spot for Cardiff!

Let's see what the Geordies can offer!

I love the weekend personally, banter and a chance to 'get away from it all!'

First round of the spilt is where it should be played. 3 home, 3 away 1 neutral.

I like the concept and have been to Cardiff, Murrayfield and Manchester but I actually agree with Bren2K. Even this seasons fixtures are unfair, for example, if Cas pip Sts for the LLS. As a result of having the extra game against us when we were woeful that's unfair on Sts who had to play Wigan. Next year when Relegation is back the consequences of earning or losing points because of a RFL contrived extra fixture are massive.

Make it part of the regular rounds with teams giving away home advantage on a rotational basis. Also make it a heritage round with retro shirts being worn.

When this years Magic fixtures were released I cannot remember anyone envisaging WTW were going to be woeful for the first 3 months of the season. Fixtures usually come out before christmas when we all knew Tigers and Wildcats squads were evenly matched.

Really?

After our squad was ripped apart, we skirted with Administration, almost blinked out of existence, the club cut it's resources back by 90%, we were still trying to recruit front rowers and halfbacks 6 games into the season and we were begging for loan players!

Really, No one envisaged that we would be pretty woeful?
It begs the question as to why every pundit, commentator and fans poll had us finishing in the bottom two.

Not to mention the bookies.

Didn't everyone have Tigers to finish in the bottom four ?

I'll bet Boxy had faith in you, why else would he have bust a gut to make sure you got a new SL ground

Because he is a Cas fan ?

Edited for accuracy.

Aye them too!

Every pundit, commentator, fans poll AND the bookies!
