Billy E will have to add *free ice cream alert* to his MM summation when he returns from his summer break

Sunday was always going to suffer. Had it been 2007, then Bradford would have brought a huge number, but 7 years later and they would struggle to sell out their own ground for a local derby with Leeds.

There is going to be a heavy reliance on Saints and Wire speccies and any one who wants to do the two days this weekend.

Sunday is an absolute ball-ache for anyone doing public transport and trying to get home after the last game. We legged it from the Etihad after the last game to Piccadilly for the last train, joined a massive scrum at the top of the platform with the police basically telling everyone that the last train was full and to make your own way home. We managed to get past him and squashed on, but a lot of people were stranded.

Viewing figures should also be up as the saturday games are on freeview.

I that happens again I'm pretty sure the TOC have a duty to get you home if you have purchased a ticket.

A couple of years ago I got the train over to Bradford when I was still at uni and coming back signal problems would have meant me missing the last train to Hull, so the Station Manager put me in a taxi to Leeds paid for by Northern Rail.

Fans do this as 4 games in one day is over kill. If your team plays and loses the penultimate game I doubt there would be many who think "oh well never mind, at least there's another game I'm not that bothered about next"

Any help would be appreciated.

Last year the Sunday matches only started from 3pm, both days starting matches from 12.30pm this year should be better for fans.

I heard some absolute horror stories from people trying to get back from the RLWC final.

First Transpennine's response was to blame the RLWC for holding an event in Manchester, rather than focus on their own failure to make provisions for an event that was planned more than 12 months prior. Presumably, by their logic, if the event was in another city that they didn't serve, they wouldn't have left people stranded at Picadilly until the early hours of Sunday morning.

I would take the Hull/KR game out the equation this year, Granted alot of Rovers and Hull fans will still attend but the fact it kicks off at 17:00 with Hull City in the FA Cup final also conveniently kicking off at 17:00 will IMO knock alot of potential supporters off the gate. Hull City reaching the FA Cup final could possibly only happen once in a lifetime whilst where treated to three sometimes four derbies a year.

I've got some corporate tickets, anyone been corporate to magic weekend before? What's it like? Dress code?

Flat cap and Whippet???
