Fun...i can be, going to a game is a little different for myself (it's a ballache logistically).

I need the enthusiasm to arrange time off work with several people, calling in favours and taking on an extra workload.
Then the 400 mile round trip (to warrington) or 550 to Newcastle.

It has to excite me to put some effort in to basically alter 2 weeks of my life for 80 minutes of rugby, excuse my pessimism.

Not being funny but after you was upset when the fixtures came out about missing out on the Saints regular round fixtures due to them being Thursday night SKY games does this not present you with an opportunity to watch a Warrington v Saints match live?

Magic is an event i enjoy as a whole, strange that even though it is technically another fixture i enjoy the "magic" of it, I'm rota in work, and playing Saints at this 'event' and all the other associated things as taken this away from me, the hassle of juggling work around this has just put me off.
I have been a bit moany of late and I'm going to shut up about it,after all it was my decision to live far away, just the whole season set up been a bit crap for me this year.
Hopefully sky lay off the Thursday games in 2016, I'll get to the odd game through the year just enjoy a good home game against the locals.

Not as far to travel for me as wife as booked us a holiday in Whitby starting that weekend.

My wife booked us three nights in Whitby last September really enjoyed it a nice chill out, the weather made it so out and about each day you should enjoy it there.

Good place to visit, try the pork pies at Elizabeth Botham's, plenty of boozers, Robin Hoods Bay and Runswick Bay also worth a look. Give yourself plenty of time to get to newcastle, the North Yorks roads aren't great.

Cheers for all that info, will be travelling on the train from Whitby, unless the wife fancy's going into Newcastle then she can drive.

Unless I'm doing a job up to there, the tourer caravan to Whitby Bay for me.

Not the easiest way to go. I think you'll have to go to Middlesbrough, then Darlington to get to Newcastle. Worth checking well beforehand.

Hope you mean Whitley Bay? Whitby is 70 miles down the East Coast.

Thumbs up Tees

Aye, already looked it up, but i prefer to do it that way as hate being in car longrr than is necessary.

A19 from Middlesbrough via Sunderland.

By far the easiest way, but he's on about going by train so he can have a drink. The awkward bit by road is getting from Whitby to the A19. N. Yorks roads aren't great.

Latest news, over 10,000 tickets sold in the first week. Apparently last year it took 6 weeks to sell the first 10,000 tickets, 29% bought by people in the NE.
