I don't think there's an argument here, Hull is probably going to be the first match i'm gonna miss this season, why? because i'm not the richest man in the world at the moment and i'm looking at about £80 for the day, its on the tele, if money weren't an object then yea i'd be going, but at the minute its like a gamble, all that travelling and money and there's a good chance we'll get beat-which doesn't bother me at all its just how we get beat- hopefully i'm wrong though and i miss a cracking game.

| Hull KR game
- £40 tickets
- £30 roughly petrol
- £20 food/ drinks etc
- £80 lost for not working a sunday shift
Total = £170
Warrington game
- £36 tickets
- £10 petrol and parking
- £8 food/drinks with it being nearer
- £0 for not working as I dont work saturdays and it is normal time unlike sundays.
Total = £54
The Hull KR game is possibly too much money down the drain to watch a potential half d performance. If it was'nt on sky there would be no debate as we would go for sure. But risk £170 for a game we can watch for nowt  |

I'm not going to Hull KR because of a few reasons but probably the main one was that i got laid off work a few weeks back and i'm abit skint. If the team were putting in the effort i'd like them to put in each week regardless of results i'd find the cash and i'd go but i'd rather not take the risk at the moment. It doesn't help that Hull KR charge 20 quid aswell to sit in a makeshift stand behind the posts which seems a rip off.
As for the semi final of course i'll be there but then i'll be at every other home game before then and more then likely every away game aswell so i'm sure i have a right.
This weekend is the first game in 15 years i've 'choose' to miss.

Tell me why, all you people who say 'I won't be going to Hull KR this weekend...' are still going to the Warrington game? Is it just because it's a semi final? I mean, as far as i'm concerned, if your a fan who goes to every away game, and is loyal to the club etc. then why give up on going to this Sundays game yet not on the semi? If your not willing to support the club in a league match then why go to the Wire game? Or are you someone who just supports Wigan when there's a possible final?
Don't get me wrong, I don't blame anyone... The performance against Celtic was disgusting, no pride in the shirt, and if the team can't be bothered to turn up then why should the fans... All i'm asking is why they are willing to give up their support for a league game against KR yet still go the Semi against Warrington? Doesn't make sense that's all ![]()
I can't afford to go to Hull KR but I shall be going to Widnes for the semi.
I will also be on holiday for the CC Final so will miss it regardless of whether we get there or not so the final offers no incentive to me whatsoever.
I think most on this board are likely to be the fans who go to the home games and travel to most away games, the floating fans wouldn't commit enough time and effort in following the club if they only went to the 'big' games.

People do go watching Wigan regardless of price but when things aren't going well then people start to think that their money would be better spent elsewhere.
I used to go to away games but I don't go to many now purely because I'd rather spend a Sunday afternoon with my wife and kids.
I'll probably not go to the semi or the final but I'll tell everyone I did go.  |

Im not going against Hull, as my sister who i go to games with, has just had twins, and doesnt want to leave them for around 10 hours.
I have my ticket for the semi final, and we are only going as they will be that little bit older, and she doesnt feel that bad about leaving them for a couple of hours.
This is the reason i not been to any away games this year, which is a first for us both.
Does that let me off?
