Rather depends how you measure it. I reckon Newcastle feel it was a success. Odd that it keeps moving grounds though. The commentators before the games were questioning the team draws which were changed from previous years, so they've either foolishly changed a winning formula, or perhaps reacted to something else.
I don't think that's true, The average attendance at a Super League game is 8,365, the average attendance per game at the Magic Weekend was 11,380.
Rather depends how you work it out. I was basing it on figures from rl fans, as it crops up year on year. I know some that like it, and others that don't. Some just like the change from the normal places they end up with their being so few clubs, and so little year on year change.
You need to chill tubbylardman. Its a nice day take a deep breath, have a cuppa and RELAX. ITS Wembley on Saturday concentrate on that. Think I'll pop radio rugbyleagueside on. Ooopps sorry miss spelt it Humberside. There thats better.
Pretty sure that's one of the main reasons it shouldn't be held in the heartlands, it kind of ruins the whole concept.
I'm not sure what you mean. If the bulk only watch their own club now, why would playing it elsewhere, such as Manchester make a difference?
Were all those tickets paid for? Did those that pay, pay more or less than they otherwise would? Who got the concessions profit? Perhaps 5,000 from Hull watch a game that normally two or three times that number watch. Success?
What does it matter, they enjoyed it, it worked, no fighting, just a good piece of PR for the clubs involved. Did it spoil your weekend?
It seems to matter to you, a damn site more than it matters to me. I'm just answering your funny little queries. I'd rather be talking about the bias in the local media.
Capacity at St James Park is well over 50k and as far as I'm aware the tickets for each day are sold separately.
It seems to matter more to you,you cant seem to let it go. Dont listen if it bothers that much. Lifes to short to begrudge people enjoying themselves. Each to their own.
