Magic Weekend - Bank holiday


Recommended Posts


Attendances at the Bash need as much help as the RFL scheduling can give it.

 

However, if we had the events on separate Bank Holidays, then that might work. Maybe some fans wouldn't be "festivaled out" and would consider attending both events if there was a longer gap between them.

 

One event on May Day weekend and one on Spring BH weekend, perhaps?

I got asked this yesterday and couldn't think of a good reason...

Why is the magic weekend not held on the following bank holiday weekend?

if it could be, surely the Sunday attendance would be significantly higher?

I'd personally think it would be interesting to see magic swapped with the challenge cup final, bringing that back to May and having Magic host 8 games (top and middle 8s) across two days august bank holiday.

Probably won't happen but would almost surely increase crowds.

Why not combine the both? Bash at the thunder stadium?

Crusaders RL to get a franchise for 2012 onwards -WRONG

Widnes Vikings also to get a franchise - RIGHT

Crusaders RL to do the double over Widnes and finish five places ahead of them -WRONG

Widnes Vikings NOT to dominate rugby league in years to come! STILL TO COME

While it would benefit from a combined marketing push, I think that could just be (and I can't quite believe i'm typing this) too much Rugby League in one go.

but nobody would go to all games, why would you. I can see people mixing it up but would deliver 80,000 at least for the weekend, combined with the bank holiday weekend maybe a lot more. Bring the super league and championship fans together.

Think the fact that the football season is still going at spring bank is an issue. They won't want to risk pitches messing up at such a crucial time unless Magic goes back to Cardiff or Edinburgh.

Sure one of the RL journos said on twitter this week that the BBC are pushing for the cup final to go back to May, but the RFL are holding off, presumably because of this Conundrum

If the CC came back to May, that would mean having the MW around the middle/end of July. Would shorten the season down by a week as well if you dropped the "extra game" in the regular rounds and used the MW as the odd game in the 8s.

Could also have all 8s games in the same area by hiring a smaller ground alongside the main one.
