I'm not a fan MM so for me it can be scrapped and we should just stick with the home and away fixtures. Those in the know say were playing to many games any way, so here's a chance to trim a week off the season.

i see theyve gone back to the "derby" system after last years draw threw up a few awful games.

having said that.
warriors - saints...last on...highlight of saturday

but how things change in superleague.
who would have thought a couple of years ago that the hull derby would highlight saturday, with the leeds-bulls derby being a time filler.

Definitely going (60 mins away)

Best time to play saints, they have new players coming in and key players have left, they will still be adjusting. The only player who may struggle to settle in is Finch for us.

Can't wait!

Not a fan either: doomed to failure, tv dominated, pointless money spinner. Won't be going. I'm all for expansion, but this is so obvoiusly not the way to go about it.

I see the hull derby has took over the airport one

Not been to an MM weekend yet and won't be going to this one. Don't agree with the concept and the sooner they scrap it the better.

I don't like the extra, "artificial" fixture, but I'll be there, along with my daughter.

I have to admit though that if there has to be a "Magic" weekend, I prefer it in Cardiff than in Edinburgh.
Much closer to restaurants, etc. for afterwards, which makes it feel far more civilised.

I think it could draw a big crowd to be honest, most teams will take alot more than they did the last two years and with it being the first game that will get a few more in. The start of the season feeling will sink in and tickets will start selling.

Deffo going . 400 miles away , but only 60min by plane.

Got the Marriott Hotel booked and Flybe flights (£45 return)

Have you found Tartan Saint yet?

He / she has been missing since Grand Final Day, maybe we need to dredge the Salford Quays.

Or maybe not

Hotel prices in Cardiff have been expensive since the concept was introduced unless you book 18 months in advance.

Novotel Cardiff are asking for £235 per room per night for both Friday and Saturday nights.



I have booked 4 rooms at the Etap Hotel in Newport, cheap and cheerful at £35 per room per night! Return trains look to be around the £50 mark, I'm happy with £85 for 2 nights.

Newport seems easy enough to get to and from Cardiff on the train.

Yes, ditched the kilt for other attire, if you get my drift.

think we had best check the quays though ..... ive heard they have been trying to get all the s**t out of it for a while now, we would not want to polute the waters would we .

With the last game, The Grand Final, of the 2010 being between Wigan and Saints and the first of the 2011 season is now a meeting of our two clubs, hopefully this will kill off the Boxing Day friendly nonsense which has been mooted.
