Magic Weekend : Fri Apr 10, 2020 10:10 am  

Hi All,
Hope everyone is safe and well.
I have not heard anything from the RFL re the event.
I am not concerned about the money that I have paid for my weekend match tickets, that will stay with the club, but really need to know if the event cancelled.
I ask this so that I can cancel my accomodation in Newcastle and get my money/vouchers sorted.
Has anyone got an idea what's happening?

Many thanks
WTID

Thinking about your question at this present time ! I dont think anyone really knows the answer do you.

I believe MC said they are looking at July at the earliest for games so Magic won’t happen any time soon and I also can’t see hotels being in business so cancelling is the only option or holding the booking until it ever goes ahead could be an option.

No chance of it happening.

I cancelled our accommodation last weekend. Even if event isn't cancelled there's no way I'm going to an event attended by so many people. I'm currently in a 12 week lockdown, which could still be extended.

Thanks everyone. Cancelling my booking.

This provides a great chance to dump the "Magic" anomaly and return the league to a purer basis of playing all opponents home and away once per season. This is surely the only fair way a league can operate when relegation is factored in.

Couldnt agree more fsw

Don’t agree. Magic Weekend helps bring something unique that other sports don’t have.

If it could be done it would be fantastic to get the league season back on track with Magic Weekend. What a promotion for the sport.

Expect the clubs would like a cup round first for maximised income
