Too slow I am afraid, I got rooms just outside the metro centre on the day it was announced and paying £530ish for 4 rooms from Fri to sunday. Works out at £65 each per person for the weekend.



From prev experience you have to get on hotels straight away at magic weekend. Its the only event you do, if not you will be left to those who cotton on and up prices or the generally more expensive ones.

As I just put on the virtual terrace:



Be interesting to see if they use this years table for the fixtures, as by quirk of fate it has dished up some attractive fixtures



Saints-Wigan

Hudds-Cas

Wire-Leeds

Catalan-Widnes

Rovers-Salford

Hull-Wakefield



with the exception of Catalan-Widnes, and perhaps Rovers-Salford its pretty much teams that either have a rivalry or are near each other.

Unless City get to Wembley that day

Date proposed by SMC according to Twitter rumour.

To be fair, City don't finish their home league campaign until 24th May, and June is set aside for pitch re-seeding. It is a rather obvious choice of date, despite it causing a real conflict yet again for the city's sports fans.

You only paid £75 for the room and breakfast, a coach won't be £70 each, greedy get.
