Magic Weekend moves to Edinburgh : Tue Jul 15, 2008 6:58 am  

It's going to be goodbye to Cardiff for a couple of years & hello to Edinburgh from next May......

Rugby league's Magic Weekend will move from Cardiff to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium next year.

The event, which sees a full round of Super League fixtures played in one city over a single weekend, will take place on 2 and 3 May 2009. Edinburgh takes over on a two-year deal from Cardiff, which hosted the first two weekends in 2007 and 2008.

Right then, who's going?! Thoughts? Never been to Scotland, so this should be a good weekend.

Can't say i'm too chuffed, i've enjoyed Cardiff for the last two years and i cannot see how you can replicate the unique setting of the millenium stadium [in the city centre]with all the atmosphere and camaraderie it generates,but i hope i'm proved wrong.
Maybe the "fans village"will be just as good.
It' a shame Cardiff shot themselves in the foot and didn't sell the event as they should have.

Anyway we shall be going.

Nothing official has been said however you'd assume they'd have said when they announced the change of venue... Then again it is the RFL

I really cannot envisage Derbies next magic weekend, simply because the format has been too predictable.
And most fans need a challenge.

are they going to keep the same name because its not "Millennium" anymore,
so will it just become "magic"
or its it going to be Edinburgh related?
