Wellsy4HullFC Posted October 2, 2019 Report Share Posted October 2, 2019 (edited) I miss Cardiff. Was most certainly my favourite venue. Didn't go to Anfield; baby due that weekend. Gutted.

Yakstorm Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Smart move, venue has proved popular with past Magic Weekends, and the fact it is likely to be played on the Bank Holiday Weekend should help push crowds even more. Ensuring the Thunder take part in the event would possibly be the icing on the cake in terms of growing crowds. If they do get promoted to the Championship, Thunder v Bradford, or Thunder v York would be two fixtures which would help move the needle for Game Day crowds. 1 PACIFIQUE TREIZE: Join the team by registering as a fan today at pacifique13.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Clothesoff Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Hotels don’t seem to have been priced much differently over the weekend beginning 23rd and the weekend beginning 30th May (Newcastle Utd are at home on the 17th). I’ve swooped in and got a room with free cancellation if needs by. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookey Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Elstone had a choice of two and got it wrong. I'm afraid after being hopeful of his abilities,I'm now losing confidence.His handling of Toronto has been shambolic. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whippet13 Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Excellent news, should never have moved away. The clubs have voted for it so that indicates it's a confirmed offer from Newcastle. Just be aware there are 2 Bank Holidays in May. This year's Magic was on the later one but the article does not confirm that will stay the same. I've booked both weekends (cancellable) to be on the safe side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The early May Bank Holiday has been moved to 8th May to commemorate 75 years since VE Day, so the early Bank Holiday weekend is 8-10 May. Suspect that it is most likely to be held on the end of May Bank Holiday though, after all the soccer has finished.

Rage Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Newcastle is a great city. However should we not be trying out new places?. What's wrong with taking to major cities like Birmingham, Bristol or even abroad to Barcelona? If that's what the club's and majority of fan's want then so be it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense to go somewhere there there is a RL culture; going to Bristol or Birmingham would be pointless unless anyone there is interested in setting up clubs, getting the game into schools etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
