Last game on the Sunday, back to work monday..

Are there any stats available on ticket allocation/sales for this event over the years, just wondering if there's a reason we are last game again, we have the furthest to travel (excluding Quins/Cats) And being the last game will have everyone else on the motorway with us who decided to stay and watch our game!

I would be interested to see some stats and see if they tie in with which games are placed where in the schedule.

Its hard to tell when you only go watch your own game but it seems Rovers & Hull take far more than the rest, again I know the rest of the stadium empties as their games have finished so I don't really notice the other teams turnouts.

We're unable to attend this year for various reasons, but will be watching in the comfort of our own home and tucked up in bed ready for work the following day, probably like most of the fans i've spoken too, thumbs up to the RFL bringing back the magic derby - thumbs down making it the last game on the sunday without a B/H!

I reckon it's for the reasons that you have already stated that we take a good crowd, do agree with you tho that its unfair that the last two times we have been to millennium we are the last game, same as Wigan and saints on the sat which isn't to bad, I still think quite a few will go if the game finishes at 6 your talking home by 11ish!! Which is only like going across the pennines on a Fri night, plus traffic a lot quieter on a Sunday, so here is hoping we still get a good crowd to out sing Hull because I reckon they will be taking a few thousand themselves.

It's totally unfair to stick us last all but 1 time!
The only magic weekend I haven't been to was last years because the first year at Edinburgh was very poor, I am going again this year due to it being in Cardiff (which is a much better venue) but for us to be last on the last day again is absolutely ridiculous!

Yeah we went to Edinburgh two Years ago never again, the people were ignorant,bars would not let you in with rugby shirts on and a whole lot more as soon as we knew it was at Cardiff we booked straight away, great atmosphere in thR pubs especially around the ground, can't wait .....

Cardiff v Edingburgh.

Cardiff, every day for me.

Location, facilities and friendliness .......top notch.

If they'd put us last up on saturday there would be 10,000 from hull in the crowd. They just dont think.

Yeah there would have been at least 10,000 how many do you reckon this year then...........

How many tickets were each club allocated to start with? Someone must know..

Not sure

as the furthest travelling yorkshire clubs we should be on saturday anyway.as youve pointed out you might get 10k going from our city.
tbf even if we did take 10k between us on a saturday the attendance would still look crap in an 80k stadium.60-70k over 2 days in an 80k stadium makes us look mickey mouse on tv.hardly sells the game

which bring us back to the argument of putting it at elland rd, st james park, or wherever in the heartlands!!!

Bet it's down south next. Anywhere but where the majority of rl fans are, there will never be a magic weekend off the 62!

Hi,

Me and a few friends are going for the weekend and we are after abit of help if anyone is kind enough to tell me any tips/advise.

We have a hotel booked right in the centre which does not have parking. Where would be best to park from sat morning to monday afternoon??

Did look for hotels with parking but was a lot more money so decided to risk it and book the cheapest. Is there a park and ride or anything that we can use and leave the car there for the full weekend??

What have you done previously?

Any help would be much appriciated.

Thanks in advance

Not sure about park and ride were staying bout 4 miles outside of Cardiff but its on a bus route check on line that would be your best bet really.

Who is of to Cardiff then !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey mate, i live on cathedral road which is just outside the city centre across the cardiff bridge west past the castle. At the top of the road is a carpark next to the park which is very rarely busy. You should be good in there. 20 mn walk back to the city centre with 5 pubs on the journey. Cut through the park pop to the mochyn du next to the cricket stadium and you're golden. Hope you enjoy the weekend!

As much as I hate how it's fallen again, I love it at Cardiff - I want to go.

I'll probably go, see you all there!

Rovers site is saying unreserved seating is nearly sold out - does that mean weve sold our allocation or do they mean all unreserved in general?

According to one paper this morning they havent sold 24000 tickets for the whole weekend!

Don't know, but as blakeysrobin says, reports of ticket sales have been poor with apparently only Leeds, Wire and Wigan (I think, might have included Saints) selling any decent numbers.

What we and I think a lot of people have done is buy unreserved so that you can go where you want for the other games and move to where all the Rovers fans are for our game.

It's no great surprise that ticket sales are down for a non-Bank holiday weekend.

i havent been to any 'magic'weekends, i like the concept of the weekend but just think the location is ridiculous, as good a venue as it is i just cant see the point in doing a 550 mile round trip for a 'local' derby, regardless of playing first or last or anywhere inbetween. i will not be attending till its in the heartlands and we all know that wont happen

Hello, is that Premier Inn?

Yeah, pmh here. Right, just had a bit of good news. I'd like to book a room for the next fifty Magic Weekends. Nah, doesn't matter which city it's in. Cheers, see you next year!
