MURRAYFIELD MAGIC WEEKENDThe Magic Weekend moved from Cardiff to Murrayfield this year...The venue in my opinion and from what other friends, family and fans have commented is not as good as the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff nor as central. A lot of fans commented that there was a choice of three public houses close by to the ground where they could have a pre-match drink and meal - none of which allowed children under the age of 18 onto the premises...and the other point was that Murrayfield isn't central it is 4km from Edinburgh's city centre. Considering this is a family event I think the RFL should have a re-think as to where next year's Magic Weekend is hosted, as it seems that most fans were dissapointed with this year's venue and are dubious as to whether they would attend the event at Murrayfield again.
Enough griping and on with the scores on the doors...
