Nobody quite knows why we have Magic, other than as a money spinner for the sport.
Tbf, in previous years, before we were relegated, I always enjoyed it.
Been a few times but, usually, watch in the local.
As an event, it's good but, Leeds is a long way from being Magical
Surely, this should be used to try and grow interest in the game, which seemed to be how it was when the event was down in Cardiff or at Murrayfield, even Newcastle but, it's lost it's way and changing the name to WKND is just a little bit sad.
Maybe the youngsters like it but, ....
It will be much better next season, when Trinity are playing !

TBH, I don't think I'd have gone even if we were in SL this season....
It needs to be taken to new places - I've always thought that Bramall Lane would be a good venue - close to the city Centre with the pubs/bars/restaurants and good travel links.
It would also look "fuller" with its smaller capacity.
BTW, I do hate the dee-dars that play their alleged football there!
