I am as excited about this as the semi final. It's a 9 hour drive from Melbourne but I'll defo be going. It will be my only Hull game apart from Wembley in 3 years, at least the trip isn't as far this time.

For those wondering why Wollongong.

I'm not 100% on this, a Melbourne storm fan just told me but st george illawara play 12 home games, of which 4 are in Wollongong, 4 in west Sydney and then when the Sydney teams play them they do it at Anz stadium which is much bigger. Home games in Wollongong get 12-20k and so lifelong die hard fans see 4 games a year (virtually nobody travels away) so if you're wondering why it's there that's my guess.

Then you add the weird Aussies, Sports fans have a very different mentality out here. Games are very well attended by the neutral basically and sports often go on the road, in Aussie rules big clubs play annual home games several hours away. It wouldn't surprise me if it sold out but more realistically I think around 10-12k.

It's a great idea as Super League is getting worse slots on the Fox every year so I'm guessing interest is low and it doesn't take much to re energise it.

4 of us going , just need to book it when I arrive home form work. Only can afford the Wigan game though
Que Sera Sera We are going to Wollongong Does not sound right but hey ho

Many thanks to you all for the feed back. See you all Sydney

Seriously thinking of being a prospective sponsor

I'm thinking of being a courier - it'll be like the funplane trip from 10 years ago!!!
