I was speaking to someone before about the Magic Weekend and he mentioned it would be an idea to have a Magic Weekend for the Championship clubs.

Personally I don't know whether it would work but what do you guys reckon?

It would be a terrible failure. You Could hold it at Mount pleasant such would be the interest it would genrate.

Well at least your honest!

I agree , if you look at the MM weekend and accept that most clubs had their normal travelling support in attendance , then a Championship equivalent would have no more than 2/3,000 in total

We get the NRC nines instead

Now then lad - thas got ta gi it a chance. Thas nowt wrong wi Mount Pleasant tha knows. Just so long as us championship sides don't get too big for us boots and we ave it not a 100 yards from 62 we'll be reet!!

let's have it at Toulouse and make a big party of it !

Haha maybe we should concentrate on Super League first

They can all play at Cardiff Arms Park at the same time as the SL games in the MS. All RL fans in the same area then, and all with a choice.

That would work , so a crowd of 2,500 then

How much extra money would we get ?

i do believe all the SL teams warm up on cardiff arms park before their matches

and the rest !

Can I just point out that an uneven number of matches doesn't work wit an uneven number of teams , and there are an uneven number of teams in the Championships

So let's just leave it there shall we

Wigan do it on the sidelines during the previous SL game



How long do teams warm-up for out of interest? Just time the games to have different kick-offs and have them doing it during half-time of the other game. Bob's your uncle!

where's the problem ? just add another club into the fold and bob's your uncle (again) ! it's going to happen eventually anyway,what with the proposed restructuring etc !

Every weekend is magic down here.

"Badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges"

As long as you don't put it somewhere overly large, then there's no reason an MM weekend for the championship wouldn't work. The only downside is possibly the one that a number of SL clubs had, being that they wouldn't make as much for a weekend in Cardiff as they would for having a normal home game that week.

I'd suggest that it was held much closer to the heartlands though. That way you might help up the numbers by having some SL club fans turning up as neutrals.

And the fact we have an odd number of teams which means it cannot work until we get another or one less team , one less is the more likely scenario at the moment

We can solve that later


Dont be so negative just want to hear whether people think the event would be good

No

Short answer

When the Super League one works, it could be looked at, until then I wouldn't bother

Simple solution, just leave Leigh out.

So we get 3 points for nothing then , Excellent

it's hardly going to attract the masses to Cardiff in mid february is it ?

how about during the summer school hols ?
