Didn't see the advert for Surrey cricket, I assume it was primarily for the Twenty20 competition that's just got underway. If anyone's thinking of going, be aware it's £25 to pay on the day, which I think is too much for a competition whose original aim was to fill cricket grounds with people who wouldn't normally think of spending a day at a cricket match: www.kiaoval.com/series/friends-p ... 20/seating'" The advert for Surrey Cricket was giving a 20% discount on Twenty20 tickets when bought in advance. Using the code it works out to be £16 for an adult ticket.

nice thing with the whole ground open was the kids going up to the non playing lads sat in the stand and getting autographs! means a lot to fans that the players are willing to interact a bit like that, the stuff that goes on after the game in the bar is fair enough but lot of folk dont want to hang around for 45

What are the odds that all 4 sides will be open for the Wigan, Saints Wire or Leeds games?

knowing the club! not a chance

Open for Wigan, Leeds, St Helens, Wire

Is it? makes the ground look so much better.

A big rap to the club on this one. Not just the details of the day as pointed out in this thread, but,as with Cas, the choice of match was spot on. It wasn't great rugby but it was a good game with enough skill, biff and incident to keep the newbie interested. Much better than, as in the past, inviting newbies to watch us being slaughtered by Saints in depressing one-way traffic.

... and the weather wasn't bad either. Does Gus M. know something we don't?

Weather was nice. Got a bit of a tan.

Gus Mackay deserved MOTM for getting that many people along.

On subject of attendances in general, I see Salford got 3200 (not that surprising, I guess) and the Hudds v Cas game got a miserly 5,200. With the season Hudds are having, you would have thought more fans would have been prepared to travel the 10 miles to Halifax.

Round 16 attendances averaged a mere 6613 (down 2665 on last year and the lowest for this round since 2002).

You lose the walk-up though for a game like that.

Does that include the Halifax kit-lady?
