Kids go to school on a Saturday/Sunday?

I will go to this but I am not happy about it being in Feb. It is gonna be damn freezing and I see no reason why the RFL couldnt hold it in Cardiff during May or June. I went murryfield this year and that was cold enough, I was planning to do two days next year instead of one but I am not sure if I can sit through all them games freezing my nuts off!



From my understanding, the stadium is has not got heating in the stands so even with the roof closed it will still be very cold!

People on here are going on about how its not hard to save, its not hard get time of work. Exactly how do you know everyones situation? It can be very hard to afford it for some and it can very hard to get time of for some. Many businesses have their holidays from april to april and many people may have already sorted their days off for that period.



As for cost, it is an expensive weekend, especially if your taking a family. It is 6 weeks after christmas and not everyone will be able to afford it. Whether you like it or this weekend is far from simple and imo the attendance will show this.



Have you considered that some fans just arent happy having to pay so much and take time of work for what is just a regular season game? Especially as Cardiff in feb is hardly appealling.



I can see why people will like it and I can see why people wouldnt. But some of you really need to look at it from other peoples point of view as it aint simple, not for all anyway.

I want the summer carnival feeling. Everyone walking about town with the teams colours on etc. Who wants to do that in freezing wet weather.



I really dont see how having the magic weekender in Feb is good for the fans?

That's pretty ignorant.

Some people only get a certain amount of days off work a year. As has already been said, April-April means most people will already have booked their holidays off by then. And some people only get set holidays, i.e. teachers. It's not as easy as "boss, can I swap shifts with someone next weekend?"





Driving's been covered. If we have another cold winter like this year, the roads will be frozen. Many won't fancy a 4-500 mile round trip in icy conditions.



And it's about £100 for a return ticket from the north to Cardiff. So on top of taking time off work (and losing money from that), you think it's easily affordable for the average RL fan?

think most people are annoyed because of accomodation, depending what day fc play, i'll be doing the day trip, just like the last time i went to cardiff for MM



as for the people who moan about being expensive, why don't they go a weekend without getting p!ssed up or buying fags!

Unfortunately it's a bit more expensive than "going a weekend without getting p*ssed". RL isn't everybody's life unfortunately. Like I say, I'll save for it. But many won't. It's not as big a deal as a final, and it's not as important to most RL fans as football is to most football fans (i.e. diehard, most go, sod the family and finances kind of thing).

Only if its approved, thought you would have known that.

Too funny.



You know very well that people are claiming its easy to book a Monday off but what about school?



There are lots of reasons people can't go and they shouldn't be vilified for it.



If i could go, i would (its my birthday on the Sunday after all!)

A SERIOUS question.



Who does the Magic Weekend benefit?



There HAS to be a primary beneficiary so who is it?



My view is SKY.

It benefits me. As I love it. It's a great event that gets us all together.
