Good write up in the Blackpool Gazette today, with an interesting article about the suggestion of bringing the Magic Weekend to Bloomfield Road. Being plucked from the heartlands and now a seasider, I would definately vote for that.

Saw that mentioned on Boots'n'all would be a belting weekend although they'd have to finish Bloomfield rd firdt imo.

Wont be happening if Blackpool get into the premierleague will it

They may be a premier league team soon so I cant see the PL letting us use it should they go up

Beat me to it

Drove past it last night and it looks to be taking shape. If the RFL have got a brain cell between them, put a choice of venues on the table. Have a voting slip in every SL programme for a 2 rounds of games over two weeks, collect the tear off slips in a bloody great bin at the end of a match (or 10 minutes before if you support the losing team

). Then you'd know where the fans would like to go for a weekend!

What about if its a hung vote?

Blame Sue

Then the RFL would probably choose Sweden instead

Hmm I have only just realised how small Bllomfield road is, I thought when it was finished it would be about 20-25000!



"As of 10 March 2010, the stadium capacity is 12,555 all-seated. When the stadium is complete, the new capacity should be 16,000."



Not big enough surely ?

Ideal location but no where near big enough, double capacity would be needed. Crowds would certainly increase immensely from the 24K per day we had last week, just because its nearer to the RL heartlands.

yes the ground would need to hold at least 40,000 if it is in this region. On separate note KYLIE was brilliant last night, i do enjoy watching him tackle.
