I respect that totally Tommy, and of course I hope you and all other RL fans have a great time, it's just not my cup of tea though personally. Re crowds though I'm sure from what I read the total attendances for Edinburgh and Cardiff were quite similar to Manchester, so you must surely wonder why they just gave up on those potential new areas?
Did anyone here stay over close to the stadium? If so what's the accommodation like please?

Moonie Weekend Attendances
Cardiff 2007: 32,384 + 26,447 = 58,831
Cardiff 2008: 30,628 + 32,516 = 63,144
Edinburgh 2009: 29,627 + 30,122 = 59,749
Edinburgh 2010: 26,642 + 25,401 = 52,043
Cardiff 2011: 30,891 + 29,323 = 60,214
Manchester 2012: 30,763 + 32,953 = 63,716
Manchester 2013: 30,793 + 31,249 = 62,042

Look on the bright side it's not as much a complete waste as the proposed Championship one starting next season. Although on the bright side, it's in that exotic seaside resort of Blackpool............ so there will, of course, be no 'popped' up fans ruining the games, inside, and holidays, outside, the stadium.

Try the Huddersfield ticket office, they had some on Friday

Thanks.

But think they are only doing Saturday tickets in with the weekend ticket

There is a pair on eBay for sat £127 ouch!

Oh look everyone, William has a new favourite phrase "moonie wedding". I kind of like it

I have two cat 3 adult reserved weekend tickets in the North Stand level 2. On offer for £35, PM me if interested.

I would say Leeds/Wigan and Hull/KR are two biggest sellers of the weekend. Also very easy for all
Salford fans to get to so should be decent following from them, as with Widnes. Any extras from London/Cats are a bonus.

Second day, Wakefield/Cas should ok. Both bring ok followings. As do Bradford-Hudds. Saints/Wire will be decent but there is no "huge game" if Wigan/Leeds or Hull/KR replaces Wire/Saints as the main event the attendances would be more even.

I don't think anywhere near as many supporters will go for the weekend as did at Cardiff so a drop off for Sunday is understandable.

Saturday should be a cracking days entertainment and a good atmosphere with that sort of crowd on.

i have weekend reserved tickets but only intend going on the Saturday, will try and give them away to someone at the game before leaving after final match

The fact it's not bank holiday weekend suggested that the Sunday crowd was always going to struggle. Big group of us usually do both days but just have Saturday tickets this time. Probably would've done the full weekend if Wigan Leeds was the Sunday though.

Seen on Facebook that they've had the players handing out free Ice Creams in Picadilly Square in Manchester today, good marketing. They've made a much better effort to get the locals to go this year.
