The Championship season doesn't start until mid March so it will be interesting to see what crowds we get for the early cup games when neither competition will be eligible for season ticket use.

Where has that been confirmed?

Read it somewhere yesterday.

I agree with you, think whilst there will be issues initially suspect given the way the new team have handled everything they will also ensure that anyone turning up on the day will get in.

Frankly find all the niggles and negatives a bit odd, if Matt Ellis hadn’t have arrived we’d have probably gone bust or at best have had a team of kids and old men.

Why wouldn’t anyone buy a season ticket ? At 150 quid for north stand it’s incredibly good value for money, last year I attended 7 home games which cost me more than the season ticket this year. Because of holidays work etc I ll probably only attend same number of games, but I also bought (with money] a junior ticket just on the off chance it might get used.

I’ve been watching the club for nearly 50 years and have never seen anything quite like this.

I've been in the shop today and it's still very busy selling season tickets. We may hit the 5000, totally unbelievable.

In the past 50 years 98, 2000 & 2006 apart we’ve built up expectations and attracted stay away fans to come back only to put on a shi…terrible show and send them all home disappointed.

The trick now, Championship or not, is to play some attractive Rugby League, show some togetherness with the fans and most of all win matches, maybe even Cups. If we’re going to have 5000 maybe 6000 people attending we need to get them hooked for life!

Hopefully gives more time to see if anyone drops out of the NRL or SL of quality that’ll fit well for us before the season starts.

Cup games aren't usually in the season ticket are they?

Challenge Cup, no, but there was talk of including the 1895, as these are the games used to generate the "extra" games to create a full fixture list.

That's why I'm asking - where has anyone seen anything definitive?

On the ‘what you get’ blurb when purchasing it only mentions entry to all regular championship games, the 1895 cup isn’t mentioned.

Cougars, for example, state 2 1895 games are included.

(CC games aren't because that funds the RFL Levy.)

I'd suggest we would (hopefully), be the same.

Workington Town also state 1895 pool games are included.
