Well its official there will be a Championship Magic Week-end in Blackpool in 2015 , the dates are 23- 24 May with most of the pomp as the SL Magic Week-end , though I cant see Sky covering it .



Plenty of overtime at the Tower Circus

I WILL be offering roles to Maurice , Salfordlad ,The Captain , and Nostradamus Lad





this line-up would pack the Circus that week-end .I think this is great news for our League , and I look forward to hopefully good weather and big crowds .

I Bet they'll be lots of Londoners on the "Big one" no doubt

Does that mean each team in the Championship will have 23 league games next season ?



And' can you tell us who Leigh will be playing ?

Reports seem to suggest it's being hosted on the Sunday and Monday rather than the Saturday and Sunday which is a little odd, even as a Bank Holiday weekend.

Leigh v Fev & Halifax v Bradford I'd imagine would be 2 of the fixtures

He would be called gypsy rose caroli if he could answer that.

This is great news. I'm really glad they've decided to do this - and to host it in Blackpool.

Halifax tweeted a link which says this:



[iThe Kingstone Press Championship Summer Bash will take place over the Bank Holiday weekend, Saturday May 23 and Sunday May 24, 2015, and features a compelling series of events and activities to keep the whole family entertained.[/i

It's definitely Saturday and Sunday Matt. www.rugbyleaguechampionships.co. ... ummer-bash

Mixesd reaction from me. I've never been a fan of the SL one. Despite attendances increasing I'd doubt whether 50% of the total attendance has ever been in the stadium at any one game.



New comers tune in and say oh it's rugby league playing in a half empty stadium.



Having said that I'll be there!!

'Blackpool' is the magic word.

Great news. Blackpool is the perfect place for it. Right sized stadium in a place people would actually like to go for a weekend.

They'll drop it after 1 year, never work at Blackpool, some games will have less than 500 watching



Seriously who will hang around for Batley - Dewsbury, or London - Sheffield?



The total fan base for all 12 clubs ( including Bradford ) is around 15,000 , expect a maximum of 50% to attend ,lets be generous and say 9,000 split over 6 matches



Should have taken it to Batley or Dewsbury and filled the place
