It probably is exactly the same due to financies being tight for lots of people as far as paying for it.
As an example I cannot go and I have only missed 1 before simply due to financies.

Financially, it's a similar outlay to an away game (if you go for the day). But, it's not just your standard away game, it's an event for the whole of Superleague to come together, and to watch 3/4/7 live games of elite RL.

As I said in my opening post, if people aren't going due to money being tight, I absolutely understand and your not the people I'm getting at.

But you have to remember just how many folks now are in the 'money being tight' boat compared to previous seasons.
If we have shifted 3k then IMHO we have done very well all things considered.

First one we've missed had great times with our friends in the past spec at Cardiff, I'm at work all weekend and have a much needed holiday later in the year to pay for, otherwise we'd have bin there is it pay on the gate to or not

That's pretty good over 3000. Hull have sold 4000. So well over 7000 going down the M62

Haven't hull sold the most tickets this year that's a bit bad from the likes of Wigan ect if true

I ain't going.
Fire away

Just the Saturday for me.

Apparantly so. But I'd expect Warrington and Wigan to have more fans there

I'm not going, and for some strange reason I don't feel the need to explain myself to Barnabus.

Are you Richard Whiting?

Sometimes I feel more like Richard Wilson. "i don't believe it"

i will go if you pay barny if not stop preaching

Me and my pal are going just on the Saturday but are struggling for transport we wanted to get the train but can't find one on return after the game any thoughts

i am not going ....cannot get disabled parking at the ground after leaving it to late

i'm gutted i can't afford it as i refused to go a 'derby' with a round trip of 550 miles and always said stick it on the m62 and i'll go. work dried up and i cant go so i am miffed tbh

Even the weather is looking brilliant for the weekend.Warrington claim to have sold 4,500 and are trying to get an extra 500 from Wakefield. rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk

That's the least I would expect them to sell for a game on their doorstep, they would normally take more than that for a league match to Wigan (for example). Despite claims made by some other clubs (ahem!) I can see Wire & Pies being the 2 best supported teams over the weekend, and part of that is down to locality.

I am a fan of the concept but I have never been able to go to any since it started due to work, & the fixtures need to be out over 12 months before for me to ensure my shifts dont clash or book hollidays. I am not bitter but it is just a fact of the modern way of life. I also miss out out on Internationals for the same reason I just have to hope that they fall on a conveniant day as again I need over 12 months notice to guarantee to be off on the day. I still buy a season ticket for Craven park but it has been a waste of cash this year as I will get to only 6 games. The advance buying of tickets costs the game a lot of revenue as many would pay on the day if they get the chance at the last moment.

In fairness, the "we've sold the most" line was a quote from about a month ago. As you say it would be an embarrassment if Hull outnumbered Wire & Pies. Salford also [iought[/i to have a good turnout.

I can't get it off work myself, so will have my Sky-Go on.

Fair comment. I think Hull's sales shot out in front early on as they had a 28th Feb deadline for ST holders. That deadline subsequently got extended several times I think. I read somewhere that Rovers have sold 3100 and Hull over 4000, so great support and will put many closer clubs to shame.

Twelve months notice to book your holibobs?

Wow, that's rubbish.

Are you a spy?

Maybe he's Santa or the easter bunny

Given the seasonal nature of both roles, he could conceivably be both.

No I fix aircraft all around the world but mainly for offshore oil & gas, that is 24/7 with a small crew so we have to plan a year ahead just one of those things you have to except in the job. I was trying to put accross the point that in the world today there is not realy a normal. When I first started watching all games were played 2pm saturday (with some mid week as well) the crowd at the game would have come straight from work paid on the gate (no tickets to book) then gone home to start the week end off. appart from shop workers & emergency workers there was little if any other work done. Now nearly every company seem to be going around the clock. Not everything is better today.
Anyway it wont be a problem for me as I retire in a couple of years.
