Magic weekend at Elland road is one of the worst decisions the sport has made

I'd love to know who was responsible for that decision. In every way it's the wrong stadium for this event.

Magic at cramped out of town Elland Road, where one team can be seen as having home advantage?

If there is a way of RL shooting itself in the foot it will find it

It's ok Hunslet won't be playing.

It's a poop hole of a stadium. 3 games to watch in such a poop hole, this is IMG persuading fans that Magic Weekend is dead and buried.

I agree, we will get 'numbers are down lets not bother for 2025'

That said reportedly the Saturday will feature: Hull, Wigan, Saints, Leeds and Wire...if that doesnt sell out 38k (likely more like 35k with unreserved seats) then theres no point to this event anyway.

The downside with places like Newcastle and Cardiff are that you are in walking distance of the city's transport links and amenities. This offers nothing for people who want to be able to explore a rundown industrial wilderness, 2 miles out of the centre with limited places to eat or drink.

Lots of social media comments about choice of venue, +1 IMG points for everyone for engagement
