And as ever you are talking without thinking, you make suggestions without bothering to check if the grounds want the games played and totally discount the whole value of the weekend, I expect no more from a union troll though.

Come on mouth almighty, give me any proof whatsoever that either Manchester club has said, as you state, they would not allow seven games over two days, whilst taking into account I only mentioned the COM. Where has Manchester City Council, the satdium owner, said such? Come on, back up your pathetic jibes with proof or shut your stupid mouth once and for all. If a pitch can take hundreds of thousand people plus all the equipment on it for for Take That/Oasis concerts, it can stand a few games of league.

How did I discount the value of the weekend? Such an event could and would be a masssive boost for RL in the AGMA region. Give the fans a break from the expense, pay the grass roots some attention and crack areas on our doorstep where little or no league is played.

I'll tell you what, as you suggested it why don't you let us know why one of the top soccer sides would want such pitch wear at this time of year.

And they cover the pitch for such events?

The value seems to have escaped you then.

I'll tell you what you snivelling, sniping little weasel, you tell us all what the problem would be. How much pitch wear would there be? What damage does a game of RL do? Given the PL season does not beging until the end of August, how do you consider pitch wear to be a problem. This seems to be the crux of your argument.

Covering the pitch means the grass is flattened, the turf indented with all the heavy equipment, and it has no light on it for several days. Far worse than playing on the surface, no?

How has the value escaped me then mighty mouth? Come on know all, make some suggestions and valuations yourself instead of playing the big mouthed gobshite so well all the time.

I dont see that as being a problem - it doesnt have to be a Super League only event. If you miss out, you miss out - tough.

Not a problem for me personally - and as a Quins fan there's a good chance my team could fail to reach the last 16 in any given year - I just can't see the clubs agreeing to it.

Personally I'd be willing to give it a go, and attend myself in any UK/Irish/French city regardless of whether Quins are involved.

FFS, not again.
How bloody hard is it for you to understand, neither football side in Manchester will allow seven games of RL to be played on their pitch?

I assume you've been and asked Khaldoon Al Mubarak and Malcolm Glazer? If not, how do you know so certainly they wouldn't allow it? Let's get this straight - it's you who so smugly made your statement, now can you back it up?

With only 1 or 2 games left in the PL, and at most 1 left at home, why not?

If it brings a shedload of cash into the city and stadium, I see no reason why the council wouldn't get on board. They own the stadium and a bit of healthy promotion for the city as well as a probably millions of pounds being thrust into the local economy ain't a bad thing.

A Manchester Magic Weekend would be awesome - handy for most RL fans to get to, great transport links, walking distance to the city, a great stadium, awesome.

Re: The Magic Weekend 2010 : Sun May 02, 2010 5:10 pm  

or here's another idea, scrap the current system in terms of extra game for the league.
So we don't have an extra game end of.
but
This weekend (sat and sun) we have a sevens tournament with SL, NL1 and NL2 clubs competing. The games are short, are inclusive of every team and the fans.
It's an extra cup to brag about, 36 teams in a 2 day competition. Surely that would fill a stadium?
