Went on haven site last night to get price it was 90 quid more than trecco bay this year. Just checked again tonight and it has gone up another 100 quid . Ripping off tw**s. Will not be going now be cheaper to go to le cats

People are obviously already on the ball to the amount of £s this w/end of RL brings in, maybe we should make Sally (below) aware of the increased costs from Cardiff!!

we believe our plans for 2009 will take the event to the next level and offer supporters a unique family entertainment experience

Murrayfield isn't that far behind the capacity of Millennium, think there's only around 6k less or so in it......so can't see the stadium choice helping the 'half empty stadium' which was commented on this year. Will definitely be interesting to see how the w/ends fixtures are decided though!

Will the Scotts be wanting a SL team as well now?

So how the hell would a coach prepare his team during the week to face unknown opposition.
Listen guys it might be Wigan so we will do theses defensive drills just in case we have to face Paleasina.
Sorry thats a ridiculas suggestion.

Everybody would be in the same boat, could add to the novelty of the event.

I would sooner see them take the last 8 in the challenge cup & play two games each day & take the semi finals to another venue played on the same day. It might add a bit of needed impetus to the cup & get rid of the extra round of Super League, with the BBC doing the cup it might get a lot more neutrals into the ground.

Have retrieved this topic as we’ve had no recent discussion regarding lately. We collected our tickets for this scottish w/end a few wks back at Rovers shop, got told quite a few had been sold for our allocation in the south stand too.

Anyone heard anything yet for when we can expect fixture time announcements??

Are all clubs charging the same ticket prices this year, remember some fans getting upset last year with having to pay extra. Passholders at Rovers being charged £7.50p Adults and £2.50p Children for a Sunday ticket. Not sure about non passholder charges.
Well worth the money and i understand that our allocation in the Sout stand lower tier are selling well.

I think that's a good idea.

Magic Weekend : Fri Mar 06, 2009 7:08 pm  

Sorry to be so pessamistic in my first post but I would struggle to pick a worse city for the RFL to take the Magic Weekend to than Edinburgh. There are so many problems not least of which being the farcical expense of everything, Murrayfield being in the middle of nowhere and the indifference of the native yahoos to any sort of sporting activity. Most of them would draw their curtains if you were playing at the bottom of their garden.
