Magic in Leicester?

Now here’s a thought Every year the Rugby League Super League holds it’s fixture list in one venue over two days. 4 games on Saturday and 3 on the Sunday. I went to the Murrayfield event a few years ago – it is fantastic. But.. It is an expensive weekend – travel, accommodation plus the essential extras [...]

VAT is a very blunt instrument
