I've been to various locations starting I think in Cardiff and that's great just to go to new places, it may be great to go to the same place if you love it.
But the matches are as another poster says even more loop fixtures.....
However it's a business and if the thing profits significantly then is that justification?
If it generates a lot of interest locally so that it benefits Newcastle Thunder and they become a big club outside the M62 that's a big prize...
I can totally understand the frustration with the way the fixtures are generated.
However, for us a large part of going to matches is the social aspect. We always have a fantastic weekend in Newcastle.
Although I’m massively in favour of expansion I firmly believe it should be done in small steps.
Places like Newcastle, York and Coventry should be given a good crack. So events like the Magic Weekend help to raise the profile of the sport in those areas.
This includes the fans. Every single place I’ve been to I’ve had a conversation with locals and they never fail to be astounded that rival fans can mingle without there being trouble.
