The fixtures for 2019 will come out on November 6th. So we will find out who we play first on our return to Super League. When we play them of course is up in the air, subject to Sky TVs scheduling. The rumor is that Magic Weekend will be at Anfield, so a nice weekend in Liverpool for us.
Nice and early to plan for Catalan trip as well, have missed that weekend. The anfield thing seems to have been a bit of a curve ball, especially with the date.

Seems you play Leeds at magic.
Is that confirmed? Let's hope they're as bad as last season...there's 6 of the 14 points we need
JESUS WEPT HOW MANY TIMES????? £20 a ticket and £15 on beer and merchandise.....so an away fan is worth £35. At best, 1,000 is the average away support split across 11 rounds and I am being really generous here, so Toronto, replacing say Wakefield will cost a SL club £35,000. The minimum turnover of a SL club is £4,000,000 so Toronto instead of Widnes is worth less than 1% of a SL clubs turnover.
There are many valid reasons for and against expansion into America, but "AWAY FANS" isn't one of them.

I thought we'd be playing Salford as ours will be an 11th vs 12th game. Essentially it's a odds versus evens contest (from this seasons table) at Magic - 1 vs 2, 3 vs 4 etc etc. Salford finished 11th & we, being the promoted team, will be the equivalent to 12th. Roll on the 6 Nov.

The moment the fixtures are announced the club need to start planning "events" around every home fixture. Research the dates, get tie in's, ring matchday sponsors to sell them the concept of the event........I have an awful feeling that the club won't prioritise attendances in the belief that fans will flood back........anything less than 3k average is unthinkable.
