| Quote: Mick Amos 9 WTW "I understand your opinion however in this situation I feel it beneficial to the MM weekend if the fixture is moved. The RFL have to up their game in regards marketing etc in general and get us into the media more. Id like to see the exposure RU gets. This football match is one of the biggest on the footballing calendar!! If the RFL was moving it for a general HULL FC match id agree but the FA Cup Final is different. As someone has suggested maybe the wisest option would have been to have it on a different weekend to the FA Cup Final in the first place..
In this situation if you are a Hull or Hull KR fan and from a sporting family and Hull FC get to Wembley, id be going to Wembley. How many times will Hull FC get to the FA Cup Final? I like MM Weekend, the banter and RL fest but it is just another round in theory.
Now if it is FA Cup Final over Challenge Cup Final, then that is a different matter completely!!'"
I agree with what you are saying but, with tickets already sold for the weekend and both days separately, there is further risk to supporter numbers by moving the fixture from Saturday to Sunday.
The problem isn't Hull City making the final, it's staging a "major" RL event on the same day as the FA Cup Final.
Not exactly, well thought out  |

Not being a Footballist I had no idea the MW was arranged for the same weekend as the FA Cup final until Hull City got there and issues arose of the clash of fixtures. Despite this I find it staggering that the RFL would have even arranged the MW on the same weekend as the FA Cup final in the first place, I presume they knew about it?

Why not. One of the weekends of rugby was always going to be on that day.
It just so happens this one is in the same stadium

They'd be daft not to move it wouldn't they? Like it or not, football dwarfs RL in terms of reach and popularity, so why not defer to a massive event in the football calendar.
I agree that RL should market itself better, but sometimes it pays to know ones place in the pecking order.

Unless things alter dramatically, in my armchair.
My days of paying to away games to witness Agars dross are over. |

I am going on Saturday and I rang the rfl to see if they were planning on changing the order of games - they aren't.

Is the 50% off offer still ongoing for season ticket holders? I've tried clicking the link on the Wildcats website then it seems to crash!

Only for this week.
Don't know about the website - going to the shop for them. |

Thanks TRB - I'm guessing the offer runs until this Saturday?
Is there any restrictions on the number of tickets you can buy? |

I saw a tweet from the Wakefield account on about Tuesday mentioning that fans had "just over a week" until the season ticket offer expires. So, i'm guessing we'll have until midweek next week some time. I'm hoping the deadline is Thursday as that is payday for me. |

The deadline is Tuesday midday. I may have to try and persuade the other half to make the purchase as I won't be able to afford!

Hi
I know this is really cheeky but I thought I would ask anyway. Is anyone a season ticket holder who is unable to attend and would be willing to rather lend me their season ticket so I can by a weekend ticket or buy the ticket for me.
Any help would be much appreciated and I will buy you a pint for your trouble.
Thank you.
