Booking up for a London weekend. Will possibly go to Anfield for the day or certainly our game but will most likely be heading back early. Much as my 12 year old loves rugby league he will not want to sit in Anfield for a weekend and beyond the fanzone can't see there being too much to do outside. Shame as we loved Newcastle for its location

Be very interested to see the impact of the marathon route on getting to the ground before I commit to driving over to Liverpool though.

The marathon is on the Sunday, we play on the Saturday. I'll be there for our game but probably head home straight after.

Seems a bit of an own goal. Not for me Liverpool. It's a toilet.

Re: Magic weekend : Wed Nov 14, 2018 11:58 am  

Disappointed its not Newcastle or Manchester, with knowing the Liverpool/Anfield area quite well I will probably just go for the game and travel back the same day, shame as I usually look forward to the weekend.

Yeah, I've really enjoyed Newcastle for the weekend, tbh that was helped by having friends who live there and also a nice pad to stay at for the duration. Saying that I'd have liked Cardiff again if we were going to change to somewhere else, very similar set up to Newcastle with the ground being in the thick of things. I suppose though it all comes down to the highest bidder.

Ugh, Liverpool. Nowhere near as attractive as Newcastle. And there is nothing more grating for the ears, than the thick Scouse accent.

Not happy with this one, 100% going to attend most games but not this one.

Already sorted London and Catalans away, rather pump more money into other games than Magic Weekend.

Would also love to know what kind of cut the club get for this? Is it based on the overall attendance of he weekend?

Booked it, got hotel Fri-Mon.

Said it before, and will again, think Glasgow could be a really good location, and think the city is connected quite well with rail networks from the bigger cities of the north

Tbh it’s not the city that matters it’s what part of the city it’s in and that’s where Anfield fall flat.

Its pay on arrival Querky

Very true regarding area Vasty, not quite sure of region, Mrs EW did it, but she knows Liverpool a bit better than me, through where she used to work, as they have an office there
