You would think that they would have a provisonal booking to use the stadium already in place-maybe they have 2!! Feb and May

Do we still not have any idea on when Magic Weekend is, and who is playing who?

Andy Wilson thinks it's going to be played at Manchester City's ground. Awful decision if true.. you don't get the pub and bar scene there like you do in Wales even though it's close enough to being in the city Centre. More chance of being stabbed in that area too..

back to summer then as no chance footy ground in feb. I surprised city would allow that many games on pitch at anytime of the year.

So would I, but wouldn't mind seeing how it pans out.

Asking Bulls (again) to play Leeds would be totally unfair. Team that finished 10th vs SL Champions? You are having a laugh.

And if they DID stick to "local derbies" then you would have the new boys Widnes playing Warrington - again, you are having a laugh.

I do not agree with this invented extra fixture if it counts for SL points. Never have and never will. It can never be fair.

You could potentially have 1 v 14 how's that fair?

As it stands now

Wigan v Warrington
St Helens v Huddersfield
Catalans v Leeds
Castleford v Hull FC
Hull KR v Salford
Bradford v Quins
Wakefield v Widnes

Now there are some attractive fixtures and some not so but it is THE fairest system, we [WIRE] will probably play Widnes this time round and although i really look forward to that fixture do you think that will be anything but a one sided affair?

Agree entirely.

Based on final placings, it would be:

Warrington v Wigan
St Helens v Huddersfield
Leeds v Catalans
Hull KR v Hull FC
Castleford v Bradford
Salford v London
Wakefield v Widnes

They don't look so bad? Or especially unfair, other than Cats might have grounds for complaint (could always switch Cats and Hudds...)

Not sure how it would look based on play-off rankings instead.

As has been mentioned, looks like the Etihad Stadium at the end of May for this year's Magic.

They play their last home game on the 13th May. The Magic weekend will be two weeks later then they will lay a new pitch for the new PL season.
