I think it would be colder at an away game at Bradford or Cas this year. Never hear people complain though.



The situation with your grandparents is obviously very different, I wouldn't expect anyone that age to travel all that way anyway. They have probably done enough of that in their time!



It is a bit strong, but if people stopped moaning and just went to the flipping thing they would love it! I havn't spoken to anyone who didn't enjoy it! 7 games for an amazing price.... I'm going down for the day and have a season ticket and I'm getting 4 games for less than a tenner! Awesome. Why do people complain?



I only missed the first weekend in Cardiff and all 3 since then have been superb and I'm sure this one will be just as good. If the RL community supported this event then it would be huge for the sport! The whole country would know about it if it was full for the weekend.....



It's cold at OT and yet we normally hit around 70k for one game. This is now the first game of the season with 14 teams involved! We should be aiming for 70k over 2 days AT LEAST!



When it comes to the magic weekend I'm not sure the RFL could do anymore to make it a success..... if the same event was put on by the RFU then the stadium would be full over both days pretty much throughout the day, the RU fans would snap tickets up and I'm sure the RFU would be able to get some good entertainment to keep fans in the ground.



How do you know me name

I've got a friend moidering me to help her sell 2 full weekend passes. I think she'll take pretty much anything for them, pm me if you're interested and I'll put them in touch.

I can't wait to get going to cardiff, friday monday staying at the ibis in cardiff. I don't see how anyone can moan at this event. I think they have it spot on this year.



What more do you want from an opening weekend? Wigan v Saints, Hull v Hull Kr, Leeds Bradford. These are all mouth watering games, that's even before mentioning the Hudds Wire game which has the potential to be a corker!



In my opinion this weekend really should attract 40 k each day. I'd expect more people to travel due to it being the opening weekend of the season the pricing is rediculously good value. What other sport could you watch all the games for 20/30 quid?



Cardiffs by far a better place than murrayfield was, pubs right outside the ground, accomodation right in the centre! Can't wait!

the only problem i have with this weekend it clashes with other sports on the saturday theres going to be thousands or wigan, saint and wire fans with cardiff city playing at home at 3pm on the sat and wales playing scotland at 5 away but fans will go to pubs in the centre to watch the game in my opinion i think its going to be manic in the centre

You'll have to hold my hand

ok mum

if you remember the joke haha

Personally never been to a 'Magic' weekend before because of bank holidays and working





But couldnt get this one booked off soon enough when fixtures come out, and its the perfect game to kick off our season - the best derby in SL.



Should be a cracking weekend, have a laugh with our fans and other supporters and lets just remind other fans who are the champions

hahahaha!

I'm going with 5 others, never been to Cardiff before so was wondering what were the best pubs to go to and which one most Wigan fans will be in pre-match?

Will be scattered all over I imagine... but quite a few are heading to Walkabout.

It's League, there's never any trouble.



You couldn't do something like this with football. But League attracts a more sensible fan base.

Can you go in and out the stadium during the day?

i see where your coming from but from what i heard the cardiff fans are not the friendlist (sp)
