Can anyone in the know give us a heads up on location and date? Just checked hotel prices in Newcastle on bank holiday in May at a guess/hope and wanna get something booked, cheers!

Newcastle and Coventry are the 2 locations being banded about but nothing has been finalised.

Really hope it isn't Birmingham/Coventry

Would prefer coventry myself, easier to get to, stadium looks the right size too

also rule out the mayday bank holidays! after 22 rounds it will be july time once magic weekend comes round

22 rounds? Am I missing something? It will be in the first 12 rounds/ish won't it? Before the split?

No, everyone plays each other home and away before we split, thats 23 matches(including the magic weekend) before we split.

Must have missed that!

sure i read that round 23 was magic weekend, could be wrong

I think you're mistaken. The wording on the site is:

The 12 Super League clubs play each other twice, home and away, during the regular season (22 fixtures) plus one fixture at Magic Weekend.

fair enough, must have gotmixed up when all the bumph came out with the new structure

dont really fancy newcastle, they catering for rugby fans or the ones who go for p!55 up, from what i remember parking for st james is a nightmare, but that was when city played newcastle in the league cup a few years ago

i think the key at newcastle would be to park well away from the centre and use the Metro

I'm a big fan of the place. Never been to St James' tho. Not sure what the pub situation is like around the area.
