First thoughts...i like the idea. Going to be neutral grounds so back to back at the same ground sounds fun. Only £25 for both games.

Don't dislike this idea, I could make an argument to go even if my own team is out, that is something of an event.

Slightly off topic, but I like the idea I first heard Paul Rowley on about in a podcast, not sure of the origins, but this made me think of it. Magic Weekend is disproportionate, as in it being a made up extra fixture because no club wanted to give their own home game up. So, make the magic weekend the round of 16 CC round.

Actually one less fixture, which we are always told we need to remove some of. Cup revenue is additional anyway, means that the attraction of the weekend isn't restricted just to SL.
