| Quote: Sibbs Rhinos "I think what's also forgotten when talking about these things is the cost involved for our fans when compared to others. The volume of 'extra' games that our fans have to travel to compared with others is huge, and in a recession the squeeze is already on. The average cost for a season watching the Rhinos compared to that of nearly every other club in Superleague will be considerable.'"
It certainly adds up. I'm often found moaning about us qualifying for another final just when I was hoping to save some cash

8 years to say a team like Wakefield?

| We booked our hotel straight after last year's final as we usually do but leave getting tickets until after the semis. If Leeds get through we'll sit behind the sticks in our 'allocated' stand but if they don't then we'll sit in the side stands.

| Quote: William Eve "This is undoubtedly correct to a degree but doesn't tell the whole tale. On both a conscious and subconscious level, there's a feeling of fatigue with the whole product - the lack of credible competitive opponents, the average and below average displays that are still good enough to secure wins on most occasions, the deep-down feeling that it only takes one good or one half decent performance all season to reach either of the finals on offer.
Reaching a final is a bit like one of those journeys where someone has over-indulged at an all-you-can-eat binge restaurant which specialises in serving up fast utility food. There's lots of quantity on offer but very little quality. Some of it tastes ok but a lot of it tastes crap and it's mostly salt and fat. After numerous servings you end up feeling underwhelmed, fatigued, sick and bloated and wished you'd never eaten there in the first place.'"

All games that will have to have been paid for, not included within a season ticket and three cup finals with all the resultant expense.
Could easily be talking £200 a person for that little lot in the last 12 months, upwards of £600 for a family of four.

2003-2011 seasons I work out the number of games in addition to regular SL rounds as:
Saints - 62 (incl 6 Grand Finals, 4 Cup Finals & 2 WCC's)
Leeds - 60 (including 6 Grand Finals, 4 Cup Finals & 4 WCC's)
Wigan - 57 (2 Grand Finals, 2 Cup Finals & 1 WCC)
Bradford - 38 (3 Grand Finals, 1 Cup Final & 2 WCC's)
Wire - 36 (2 Cup Finals)
Hull FC - 34 (1 Grand Final & 2 Cup Finals)
Wakefield - 21
I included Hull and Wakefield to give a sense of perspective between the "top" teams, the average and the bottom teams.
I'm sure tvoc will now come along and sh|t all over my rather amateurish (by comparison) parade.

Exactly, which is why it is ridiculous for fans of other clubs to suggest we don't care anymore about our success and the fans not being bothered to support the club in showpiece finals and knock out games. I'd imagine a vast majority of our fans who chose not to attend is due to financial constraints, rather than simply not being bothered anymore as others seem to think. It is a fact that supporting the Rhinos will cost more than any other team, and we have to pick which 'extra' games we attend due to cost. Not that i'm complaining about having to do that though!

Cheers mate.
Interesting - so over the last 8 years we have played, on average 3.25 more games each year than Warrington.

That's problem with getting to Grand Finals.
