Just out of interest, with Wire going from strength to strength and the prospect of stadium expansions do you think you would end up playing a couple of games on the road to try and tap into the populous of the Cheshire-Stafford area by playing at Crewe or Stoke? Hypothetically, if this was the case would you happy and do you think it would work?

no

Ok, thank you for your insightful thoughts

Cant see it myself, but if the RFL are reading this you can be certain somebody is now ringing Villa Park re next years Magic Weekend with a view to including a midlands side in the next round of franchises.

Mike my money's on the Faroe Islands for the Magic Weekend. That way the RFL can tap into Scotland, Iceland, Norway and Denmark all in one go! Think of what that could do for the international game...

Hold it on a oil rig and tap into the American market............ Then again, maybe not!!!!!

There is no rugby league presence in the midlands. Even rugby union doesn't have teams decent teams there. It would be a total waste of time as football dominates every other sport down there.

Are Leicester and Bath not Midlands ?

Bath is not Midlands more like South West but Leicester and Northampton Saints are Midlands

I wouldn't mind us playing a game in Chorlton given that I live there like. Not sure where it would be mind.

Other than that, nah.

How about playing at Wembley at the end of August.
