Oh they are. It has been mentioned on here and on other threads elsewhere.

Still, I'm just being a miserable c*nt, you've changed my mind, what a wonderful idea this Magic Weekend is.

Some things never change

I'm confused I thought there were neutral games to attend all year round and not just on this one weekend.

There are. What there isn't is 7 sl league games in one venue for only £20. And i would presume up until the MM weekend non in scotland for possible scottish supporters of SL to watch.

At last the debate starts - carping has gone.
Aside - Prestwich Red - my argument is based on a belief that SL aims include "developing the game" (so magic weekends do meet that criteria- but we argue against this way as a lost cause), "raising participation levels" (again the same: Sunday's junior schools' tournament - but no one has noted this or wants it in already well organised areas), "funding the continued growth of the sport" (you state we do not travel - so we do not develop any funding!) and some comment on Rugby League as a community (often stated elsewhere - but we accept and support our parochial attitude [above]).
If you do not accept the aims of the club/group/organistion you join - then you should leave. So do we deserve to stay in SL?

I gave up my determination not to be part of this board as mature opinions were on display in this post.

My attitude to the weekend was one of incredible pride. No other sport could have done the same.
As we know, Newcastle want it for 2011.

I agree on pricing but saved up for this one - I'll now save up for more. I want to be part of any promotion of Rugby League. And, believe me, I fully support the weekend. I pray for a time when all kids are exposed to Rugby League.

Got to admit i had a fantastic time.Went up on the Friday with the wife. It was only the 3rd time she has been to the rugby. Her first game was Manly vs Parra 2nd the opening of Leighs ground and now Edinburgh. She enjoyed it that much she fancies a weekend away for the Celtic game! Came home on the Sunday via a jib into Hamilton races. Already looking forward to next year!

Sorry Hillbilly Red but this post has totally confused me.
It appears at best to be a mish mash of gibberish
I said the money spent on the Weekend would have been best used on youth development, which surely promotes the sport , and I think somewhere in the mist you do agree to this.
In the end though you do say I should go if I do not support the ideals of the Great God that is Red Hall, RL and SCRRLFC.
That is where I will leave this debate as I am obviously not worthy.
Final point, fookin Newcastle 2011 cant wait for that
