You are a fine one to talk, what about the Whinos playing Wigan at same time as cricket? your club reduced your capacity to 10k, you could not even sell that out |

| My first child is due on the 15th of july, having planned my procreation to coincide with the derby game ( i.e i would of had ample time to witness birth name child etc etc. ) I am now in the unfortunate position that i may not be able to witness my firstborn being brought into the world, much worse the missus will punish me by dressing him/her in red and white babygro's  |

But the crowd was actually similar to recent challenge cup ties at Headingley between the two clubs. Jog on sunshine. |

| Quote hfc herts="hfc herts"This is not a my cats blacker than your cat situation. This is about 16000 people buying tickets / passes for a Friday night game. Of those a fare proportion will have made arrangements to swap shifts, get baby sitters make travel arrangements etc. That plus a club who have been bigging this match u big style to ensure we get our tickets early to avoid disappointment. Then 3 weeks before hand 16000 people are expected to drop everything and make alternative arrangements.
Rhinos vs Oldham might affect a couple of hundred people. Hull Salford may affect a few thousand, Hull Rovers affects the biggest crowd of the season. It should have been sorted before tickets went on sale. Quote the RFL all you like it does not make it morally correct. And certainly not the actons of an organisation which is constantly trying to attract new supporters.
I am sure the RFL and Sky are acting within their agreements but do you seriously think this is something that we as fans should just say " ah well 5h1t happens from time to time" because I for one and I am sure I am not the only one am getting somewhat sick of this being done at the expense of loyal supporters of any club.'"
Maybe the benefits of showcasing the game to, say, 1/2 million people (just an example, I don't have a clue how many watch games on SKY) outweighs the needs of a small number of fans who have been put out.
9500 of your quoted 16000 ticket holders bought their tickets before they even knew what month the game would be played in and another 4000 or so are rovers fans who don't count anyway. |

It used to be £20-25k a match, it was dropped years ago about the time of the mergers and the money was divided equally between the clubs.
Instead of Wigan, Leeds Saints and Bradford copping for most of it  |

You pi$$ people around at your peril of course and FC have known about this for a few weeks and said ................... nothing and another PR home goal
You could argue that they could not until had been finalised with the police, but they might have had a bit of customer care and issued a statement. |

| Thats it i give up with this club..
I now live in London and dont get home to often, so when i saw this game was on a Friday i thought id have a long weekend at home. I also invited my 2 housemates one from Belfast the other Penzance who have never seen a game live or on the TV. So now we have paid in excess of £100 for train tickets with no chance of a refund. Thats it im done... |
