I might go to the magic weekend, but there's no way I'll watch all 7 games.

I went to Cardiff a few years ago, thinking exactly the same. But I ended up watching all six games, apart from fetching-beer and making-room-for-more-beer breaks.

Me & the missus have been to every magic weekend and going to this one as well.

Thoroughly enjoyable and watched every game - didn't get bored, only FROZEN at the 2nd Murrayfield!

Looking forward to the sights, sounds and smells of Madchester!

It won't be as good as Cardiff though, nowhere's ever as good as Cardiff....

I can't even be bothered to watch them on tv.

Yes, but you're just lazy.

I've been to just about all of them, even the one at Murrayfield when we were playing at home to Whitehaven on the Bank Holiday Monday. Left Edinburgh at 9.30 Monday morning and got to Bramall Lane just in time for kick off. There's nowt like it, although I agree about the Millennium Stadium, best venue in Britain. Eastlands will have to go some to beat it. And yes. it was rather cold that weekend in Edinburgh wasn't it? Not sure how many consecutive games I could sit through before I got bored, but I guess four will be the most I can get in on one day for the moment. Lol.

I'm going on the Sunday, so four games. Looking forward to Leeds v Bradford and Wigan v Saints!
