no newcastle- just goes to show that magic weekend is nothing to do with spreading the game... its all about which council bids the most to host it... all about the monies...

huddersfield always sells out for the tests, shame it didnt get a gig again

Newcastle would have been nice, but happy with one in Hull for that side of the country. Would defo have had Hudds over Elland Road though, every day of the week.

TBF it has for the last couple (v Ireland at the WC and v NZ last year), and that is exactly why it shouldn't be getting one this time round. If we can fill a 24/25k stadium, then next time we should be going to a bigger one - which we have.

London average 48k for the last 4 tests.....as has been said by others, if the RFL can fill Huddersfield and get 40K in London easily then they are probably right to mix it up.....
