Blackpool magic weekend

[langpark]

I heard that next year the Championship is having a Magic weekend of their own in Blackpool, which now has a capacity of 17,338. I'm sure they will try and spread the 'big teams' out evenly across the two days, maybe something like this:

Day 1:
Keighley vs Whitehaven
Workington vs Sheffield
Leigh vs Bradford

Day 2:
Hunslet vs Dewsbury
Halifax vs Doncaster
London vs Featherstone


What do you think? Can they crack 10,000 per day?

I reckon they will go with derbys for this.
Workington v Whitehaven
Sheffield v Doncaster
Bradford v Fev
Etc

London, Bradford and Leigh are all full time with the other 9 clubs at a distinct disadvantage. If A team get's relegated to Championship 1 by 1 point and that point is one they lost playing a full time team at this event, whilst the team above them that stays up played another part time outfit in Blackpool, I can see a few disgruntled fans.

Like Magic weekend, the fairest way to do it is draw the pairings from a hat.

if any "disgruntled fan" puts relegation down to a single game halfway through a season......then they need to punch themselves in the face really hard
