I wouldn't blame Leigh on the lack of fans. I'd say the likes of Salford hit attendances more on events like this.......Their numbers are woeful.
Glad it's been noticed by the RFL mind.
But stuff the magic weekend this year, the summer bash will be fantastic.

You took the least you'd ever taken to a magic weekend. Certainly a lot less than you'll be taking to the guaranteed win against the bulls. Good to see that better numbers are following you away in the championship than did in SL but I guess that's what happens when you know you'll win rather than knowing you're going to lose |

The fact is also it's not a bank holiday and families will struggle with kids being at school the day after
Our coaches will only get back to Leigh after twelve
Same for all the Lancashire and Yorkshire clubs
In Manchester it's easier to get home it a decent time
Hence why they should have had the bank holiday weekend

"I think there's a few reasons (for the dip). It's the third year of Newcastle and we no longer have Hull KR, who are now taking 2.500 fans to the Summer Bash. If they were coming here, they would have the third highest attendance." Super League executive director Roger Draper.
Personally I'm not going as Leeds are the last game on the Sunday night and I have work the next day. I think magic should be on a bank holiday weekend as I'm sure I'm not the only person in this position. If the stadium isn't available on the bank holiday, find another one that is and move elsewhere.'"
Brilliant. You criticise Leigh fans attendance and yet say yourself you're not going. |

Nice to have a game on my doorstep for once, every other fixture is a long drive and often as not a late night. |

Just discussed this elsewhere as the OP's post has been flagged.
Leigh will take more fans to Newcastle than Catalans, Huddersfield, Salford, Wakefield & Widnes !
So from 12 SL Clubs, Leigh will be the 7th best supported Club, that despite being one of the smallest towns by population.
To sum up this thread, Leigh = S.C.A.P.E.G.O.A.T !!!
Let's look at those 5 'established' SL Clubs instead. |

& exactly how many [iCatalans fans[/i will be attending Magic Weekend [iMr John Flatcap Dozey ???[/i
I suggest that if they take 200 we will be blessed, this for an 'established' SL Club given preferential support for 6 years to become established.
You Sir talk absolute twaddle ! |

I'm sure the stadium would've been available next weekend. Difference this year is that we're having another weekend of two games with teams playing on Friday and then the Bank Holiday Monday next weekend to prevent the season lasting a week longer with the World Cup coming up afterwards. Obviously can only do a double weekend on a Bank Holiday Monday so Magic Weekend had to move. That sole reason I think is why numbers will be down especially the Sunday. |

I didn't criticise Leigh fans, I simply quoted Super League executive director Roger Draper.
You are correct I will not be going to a Sunday night match that is 100 miles away. |

I bet Saints barely sell any tickets either. The attitude of the players has never been right, they've rarely tried due to the perception that it's unfair and I'll bet our record there is terrible. I wouldn't go for that reason alone. They should make it a 9's event.

So why not a thread title of
" Magic attendances down " rather than picking on one club ?
You don't share the intellect or the good grace your namesake possess's |

He didn't mention Leigh, you did. Hull KR have a great following, and they always play Hull FC at the magic weekend....so obviously they take a few thousand (it's a big city, didn't you know ?)
Cas might take more fans than usual, some clubs like Saints, Widnes, Huddersfield might take less than previously. Catalans will probably bring about 30 fans, so overall attendance over the 2 days might be lower than in previous years, but it's not because of Leigh Centurions !!

We will need binoculars, to see how many cataclysmic Catalan fans we can find. |

But he didn't criticise Leigh or their fans, he simply said the loss of the Hull KR support had an effect.
That could mean he's having a go at Hull KR getting relegated, or at Salford for relegating them.
There was literally no point in bringing up Leigh's support. |

Hasn't the whole concept just gone way past its sell-by date? It adds an unnecessary extra fixture and should be dumped.

Disagree with that. I'd say that MW is the only thing as a sporting event is unique about rugby league.
