Magic weekend Looking like Newcastle again next year get in

I chuffing hope so, hated Anfield as a venue.

I do hope so.

Brilliant

8 happy campers here if it gets the nod

Which bank hol weekend will it be there's 2 in may next year ???

The May day holiday next year is on a Friday , so I imagine it will be Spring Bank.

May Day bank holiday is always the first Monday in May and therefore the bank holiday is on the 4th May

Hopefully we get to know date before the hotels put prices up 300%

Not in 2020 it ain't, it's on the Friday of that week.

No, I've just checked it. It is moved to Friday 8th May marking 75 years of VE Day.

Glad it’s back at Newcastle. Liverpool is a dump.

Sorry my mistake

As I say every year - there's nothing Magic about it; it's a money-making venture from the RFL, which adds no value and in many instances, creates an unfair opportunity for some teams to pick up extra points. It's not for me - I'm out.

Bren2k dont you think we need all the extra income's we can get be it via the magic weekend or not, Some people have got their heads in the clouds regarding our sport and where it should be But it isn't we are Mainly a M62 sport with the exception of Catalans and London.

Plus i thought we got more national coverage when we were at newcastle for the previous Magic's so it's a YES from me.


Up The Trin

Definitely more magic in Newcastle than either Liverpool or Manchester and maybe, staging it up there will help Newcastle's cause in the long run.

Well I'm with you on this. I have never been a fan and really can't see the point of it. I'd rather have our 'home' match at BV.

I don't get your point, what's wrong with making money Bren, it's not like the game is swimming in it. It also an event, something else our game tends to lack.

I understand why some people can't be bothered going but I don't get the negativity, it's a great day out and I don't see how any team gets an advantage tbh.

Finally, it is quite magic, Newcastle is a great place with a great stadium, its a hugely enjoyable and colourfull experience, if you haven't been to Magic at Newcastle give it a go, I reckon you'll change your mind, I did.

Magic Weekend
Newcastle St James Park
Weekend of May 23rd & 24th 2020 (Bank Holiday)

This needs pubilising a hell of alot more; there are so many people unaware of next year's change.

It's a weekend festival of rugby league at a popular venue that we can fully join in. What's not to like? After giving Liverpool a miss, 4 or 5 of us will be sharing the experience once again.
Nicely replaces the away London games too.
The missus is actually suggesting she fancies a trip to Toronto too now! Any one want to take her?

Yeah, if you're paying

She's packed in taking cash.

Probably for the best
