Quote: Dally "I agree cheap tickets are a problem. I used to always buy the best tickets but at one World Cup final people were let in for £5 (compared with my c. £50 in those days) - we were given just about the worst seats in Old Trafford and the £5 people got great seats. Since then I have voted with my wallet and feet as I guess thousands of others have. That must have cost the RFL thousands pounds from me alone. There are many other calls on my time and money and if I feel taken for granted / ripped off / under valued / bored / treated like an idiot then I'll do something else (and have done so many, many times in recent years).'"

Spot on. Add to that, being told by the clunky online ticketing-system (which is useless on mobile devices) that the block of your choice is unavailable, only to see rows of empty seats on the day.

Quote: Dally "I took a newcomer to the game. He thought the game was good (a first - most games I take people to have proved boring and turned them right off). Three things that he commented on - the half empty stadium and two others he found ridiculous and utterly comical - the 'water carriers' carriers on the pitch every few minutes and the 'man in the suit' on the pitch - Robbie Paul after tries. It's not good when people come with an open mind but find things to laugh at is it?'"


Robbie Paul on the pitch does my head in. I don't understand why he feels the need to run across the pitch during the game. You don't see it in any other sport. Just another way of down grading our game. Even in the amateur leagues no one is allowed on the pitch!

68k including the empty club Wembley seats is an utter embarrassment.

Wembley is the home of the Challenge Cup Final. It should never be moved, that really would be the death of the competition.

I'd rather have 68k there than in the Principality Stadium or anywhere else.

Quote: Ganson's Optician "All the free/cheap tickets are seriously devaluing the game, hence why people who have always paid full whack in advance chose to turn up and pay a fiver to a shady character to sit in Club Wembley.
'"


Until such time as we get genuine full houses ticket offers should be part of the mix. Football clubs and RU clubs do use them if they know they'll have significant spare capacity. I do however agree that premium seats shouldn't be given away. At a ground like Wembley there aren't any really had seats anyway. FWIW I'd paid £40 months ago for my Club Wembley ticket as part of an early bird deal.

It's time for the Cup final to go on the road IMO. Plenty of local councils would be willing to bid for it, put it out to tender to Manchester, Liverpool, Cardiff, Newcastle, Edinburgh etc and bring some money into the game. Wembley and other stadiums in London should be used for International games not club games.

Correct. An embarrassment for a tedious yawnion troll who can't get his facts right.

Considering most Hull fans are perceived to be on the dole I think that's a good attendance icon_biggrin.gif

It was once a great place for RL no doubt. Twin towers and all that history, great atmosphere too in the old one. It's not the same now though, and i personally don't have near the same affections for this new version and don't think i ever will which is a shame. moreover, Watching a cup final being played out in a stadium barely 2/3rd's full is sad to see and an embarrassment for the game when being shown to a national audience and plugged as the games premier cup competition.

I don't agree either that moving it will be the death of the competition. We would pretty much fill cardiff every year with the crowds we get currently, although it does need a bit of a revamp and moving to earlier in the year imo.

I'm not sure RL supporters are attending as neutrals anymore.
No atmposphere, high ticket prices and increased travelling costs have made it an expensive day unless your team are playing,

I disagree, where i was sat there were 4 Giants fans in front of me, a family of Wakey fans, one of Bradford fans, one lot of Saints fans, a group of Fax fans, i also saw Cas, Fev, Leigh, Dewsbury, London Broncos and Leeds shirts in the concourse near me as well as plenty of amateur shirts too.

I've been to Wembley a few times now and it still amazes me how many people stand in awe and excitement at the top of Wembley Park station steps and get their phones/cameras out, i dont know them personally but you can tell who are new to the experience and not 'regulars'.

I was lucky as i won tickets and got a lift so my entire day cost me less than £30 and as a neutral i thoroughly enjoyed it.

High ticket prices? I've never been to the cup final unfortunately as Wakefield are usually quite crap but everyone on here nevet stops whinging about tickets being too cheap.
