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.'"
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"

| 2 Reserved Magic Weekend Tickets for sale.
Bought directly from the RFL.
Face Value £40 each.
I now can't go which I'm slightly annoyed about.
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.

4 games is OK as you can dip in & out. It's backing up on the Sunday that's the killer.

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.

| Quote: Bull Mania "I would say Leeds/Wigan and Hull/KR are two biggest sellers of the weekend.'"
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'm sure Billy will take that into account when his next diatribe is published.

Cardiff 2007: 32,384 + 26,447
36,000 + today.
So a good start to the weekend, but they will need to get 29000 tomorrow to get a better result than previously.

| Quote: Mr Dog "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.'"
But they won't stay for any one else matches jus watch their own and out on the lash in Blackpool , better at Batley I would say .
Off away attendances in the championship
Leigh 500 league finals 2500
Fax 400 finals 2000
Fev 500 finals 2500
Bradford 1000 finals 2000(this league)
London 40 final 40
Dewsbury 100 final 500
Batley 200 final 800
Sheffield 50 final 100
Donny 100 final 400
Haven 100 final 300
Worky 100 final 300
Rochdale 100 final 300
Oldham 150 final 400
So i can't see there being more then 3000 on for any game
