Magic Weekend Unreserved Seating will be £15 (Day) & £22.50 (Weekend) for Season Ticket Holders

Typical. I knew we would get the Sunday tea time slot

Work will be a bit choppy on the Monday

I thought the French were not playing at the Magic weekend?

47

So it had been reported but obviously they are now.

Saturday should be really well attended. Wire, the hull clubs, Cas and wakey have all brought good numbers to the weekend in the past and Widnes certainly will with it being their first. Will be a great atmosphere if the stadium can be pretty much full for most of each day.

i'll do sunday only.
not fussed about the cat-broncos game, prob land part way into hudds-salford, and watch the airport derby...be a great warm up for our game..be fun booing both teams at once

Looking forward to it. Dissapointed that its the last game on the sunday but that was half expected. At 22.50 for a weekend ticket it's certainly good value and will hopefully help towards the weekend being well attended. although Ill probably just do the sunday aswell.

nice one Bilko........now we need a thread about which stand everyones going in.......or can you move from stand to stand at the Etihad?

You can walk all the way around if memory serves me right from going to the GB game there. Obviously Wigan will just receive a certain area of the reserved seating tickets.

It's just one big bowl and judging the map, it looks like you can sit where you wish.

South stand, block 2?

Lets get all the Wigan fans together and give the lads a good atmosphere. Opposite the camera down the side like Cardiff last year.

The Sunday night slot is a bit of a bummer with work on Monday. I'll just have to stop drinking before the game and hope for a quiet Monday morning at work



Somebody has to have that slot and we've been lucky the last couple of years

Made up it's the Sunday evening game.

I'm on a stag do that weekend at would have missed any slot on the Saturday. I still may struggle but it's at least given me a chance.

Are you implying S2 ?

The last weekend in May would normally have a Whit bank holiday attached to it on the Monday; due to the Queen's jubilee it's been moved a week later. Do the officials realise this in scheduling Magic for that weekend?

Yes, hence why we're in Manchester. Anyone would think its miles away.

It would be harsh having yorkshire teams playing the Sunday evening slot when we are basically only going round the corner so we cant complain really. Im looking forward to this, Manchester is good for a session

slightly O/T but does anyone know if you can have a drink at you seat within the stadium?
You couldn't during the Grand Final at Old Trafford.

I'm a bit disappointed by this. I loved the magic weekend in Cardiff, no matter what time of year. Manchester on a Sunday evening is a bit too far to travel with school on Monday, so it really hasn't worked out for me.

Gutted to not be heading to Cardiff next weekend.
Loved last year.

Will only go for the Wigan game this year.
Not a chance will the boss want to watch more than that when we've not got money & a journey to justify.

Why is there a three hour gap between the commencement of the three matches on Saturday? That will leave more than an hour to kill between games. I don't think rugby will remain on air on Sky between the matches.
I can't remember such a gap on previous seasons.
Is it so that the competition on each day will be of the same duration?

Agreed, 3,5 and 7 would have been better k/o times. Not sure what Sky are gonna do between games?
