Nah. I'm going to stay at home. Saints usually don't bother with it, so I gave up a long time ago. Should be a nines event. |

My thoughts exactly, even though my team will probably get stuffed, I always enjoy the banter with other fans.
Ive said before Newcastle is a great venue. |

Great to see the local media is getting behind the weekend, over 7 positive articles in the Newcastle Chronicle alone this week [urlhttp://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/all-about/magic-weekend[/url

I don't think there *has* been much negativity about the MW. A few people have said that accommodation problems have meant they won't be going to this one, one or two others, like myself, have discounted it on the grounds of the travelling distance involved. I don't recall many being opposed to the concept of Magic Weekend; certainly I've enjoyed all the others I've been to.

| Considering rugby league crowds can be questionnable , would 60,000 turn up for a 9s weekend? I like magic weekend a lot, looking forward to seeing how the toon embraces the event.  with a beer too. |

Could it be both? Or is that overkill?
Theres plenty of time available before and inbetween the games that a 9's tournament could run. Plus, it may help encourage those who only watch their game then leave, to stay a little longer.
Obviously, it'd be fielded by predominantly youth players, and perhaps Championship clubs if room could be made in their fixture lists. I used to really enjoy the floodlit 9's.

Got to say, as an RL fan and Newcastle resident: the Magic Weekend has been very poorly advertised up here. Other than people who are involved in amateur RL I haven't come across anyone who knew the event was on. When I've talked to people about it, they thought I was referring to the Rugby World Cup which has some matches at SJP in the Autumn. That said the RFU have put a huge 'Rugby World Cup Host City' sign on the side of the Tyne Bridge.

I know someone who lives up there who said the promotion has been really good in recent weeks and their kids got to meet some Widnes players. They also have succeeded 60,000 sold tickets despite having a game fewer than usual. |
