As has been said by quite a few not a patch on Cardiff but i'll still go and make the best of the weekend that I can.



Crusaders getting off to a winning start would help.

hoping to go myself

anone know of any cheap ticket deals for locals, trying to convince a few friends from scotland to go and a reduced ticket may sweeten the deal

Don't see the attraction and need for RL to be taken to Newcastle myself. There's a presence closeby in Gateshead, which has never really taken off. Rugby Union in the city isn't popular, and it's arguably the most religious football city in the UK.



I'd be very intrigued if it was taken to Dublin or Paris, however...



I suppose the big stumbling blocks on Magic weekends being held in these cities would be extortionate costs for fans.

Agreed.



Dublin Croke Park would be very interesting!



IMO with some serious, well-planned marketing the RFL and the local council in whichever city it chooses to host the weekend, it can be made into a fantastic weekend. Poor marketing will cost MM dearly IMHO. I didn't even know it was next month and I follow RL religiously.



I think this weekend is like the Titanic, fantastic idea, and according to the RFL cannot be beaten for entertainment. However when it comes to it, poor marketing will drive this idea into an iceberg.

You seriously didn't know it was next month?



There are adverts on this site, all the club's sites, the SuperLeague site, the RFL site, the RFL Mailshot, the events guide, etc.



Too many RL fans would prefer to moan about the RFL marketing rather than get behind things. This doesn't happen in many other sports. It's like the All Golds game. Everyone was moaning that the promotion was poor, yet everyone knew about the game.



FWIW, I loved Edinburgh last year and will be going again. I thought the 2nd year in Cardiff was very tired tbh, and I just hope this 2nd year doesn't feel the same this year.

If I wanted to travel for hrs to sit in a half empty stadium in a city where they hate any non local and is constantly plauged by awful weather I'd go to hull

It should be in Cardiff and left there. So everyone can get some sort of routine going!

Edinburgh will be a better place without the likes of you boring farts!





Scots are very welcoming and there is loads to do in Edinburgh. Plus it's great to get together and have a drink with fans of other clubs. I am looking forward to the weekend.

Sssshhhh how dare you speak like that here











We'll try this in words you can understand...



No premiership or even championship club will [size=200EVER[/size allow us to play six or seven games on one pitch in two days.







Indeed, but your average RL fan will always find something to moan about, it amazes me sometimes to think the games has lasted so long with attitudes like that.

The issue is cost. I got Mrs D to agree to go for w/e but when I looked into it there are no cheap flights, driving is 6 hours plus each way so that's not feasible unless we stay another night or two. Hotels in Edinburgh have doubled their prices, so I'd stay in Glasgow and have the hassle of travelling. Taking two kids the whole thing would end up costing ca. £1,000. Quite frankly it just ain't worth it for me, especially as I don't have a close attachment to any of the teams. Daft thing is if they'd had it somewhere more accesible we'd have bought the GF and CC deal tickets too. It's a great deal on the tickets its just that Edinburgh is sadly out for us.

If you had been quick of the mark you would have got a cheap hotel (but even now they are not double the rack rate) and cheap train tickets, don't blame the event for you not being on the ball.
