It's just too easy to stay in and watch it on tv. We know rugby league fans are some of the tightest around, so why prices started from £19 for a untested contest is baffling.

The prices are FARRR too expensive, if you didnt claim your £5 voucher theres no point bothering, 30 odd quid to sit in that carnegie stand?? get lost.
The marketing was great I thought only the pricing's wrong and you cant expect people to stump up both on a friday and a sunday.

Should have been on a free weekend or a wednesday like origin, half term and all

What I don't understand is that fans moan that it won't be a success and have a small crowd! Well sureley it's upto the fans to get off their backside instead of moaning how poor our game is and attend these fixtures to make them a success. The pot calling the kettle black me thinks!

rubbish.
I havent got 20 quid plus petrol for a friday game with sundays game plus beer money to pay for.

It's not classed as a proper Test match thats why it doesnt seem to be a crowd winner a people are sceptical to see if the players give it 100%.

There is plenty more interest in the media than a normal Test v France though which is good for the profile of the sport.

And that in my opinion, is a significant problem. People won't spend their time and money on 2 RL games in a weekend and as we all know with RL fans, club comes before country.

Not at all, country before club ANY day of the week. I just havent got the money, had the money when it was announced and so on and since have made other plans.
Ive not been many away games because of financial strains this year and i reckon thousands are in the same boat

I would strongly encourage you to look at the Easter weekend attendances throughout the year and tell me where you came to that conclusion

Last time I checked, both Easter games were already paid for as part of season tickets.

Bingo.

SL should definately have taken a week off.

Spot on, it's the reason I'm not going. I simply can't afford two trips to Yorkshire in the car and 2 sets of tickets in 48 hours.

Giving STH a discount like they do with the Magic Weekend would be a decent idea for next year, and send it back over the pennines! With 15 Wigan and Warrington players on show, there may have been a greater level of interest if it wasn't at Headingley. Again.

Has it been at Headingley before?

I reckon this game would have got a higher crowd in Warrington personally.

Think with it being the 1st one, people are unsure but hopefully the game will be a great spectacle & will mean people will want to go next year.

I think it should have been held at Warrington too, the amount of Wire players playing would of got the Warrington public out + Saints, Wigan & Widnes are away in Yorkshire this weekend so i'm sure some would of rather gone to this...

Still I think it's a great concept and, for a change it has been marketed excellently by the RFL and deserve full credit for how they have promoted the game!
