Quite a few fans booked train tickets though, I know of about 15 leaving Manchester around 8.

| Why would the RFL let teams/fans of other clubs down who have already made arrangements about their own fixtures just so that Hull/Hull KR fans can watch the soccer FA cup final ? They would have been wrong to do that and it's right that they haven't. Circumstances that couldn't have been predicted have arisen and people in Hull have a clear choice as to how they deal with that.

You're probably right, but I can't image there will be many Widnes and Salford supporters committed to travel arrangements for their 14:45 kick off.
And if they've booked hotels it won't make a scrap of difference.
And it's nearly five weeks away. City have effectively given Arsenal a weeks notice of a change of day.
It's the Hull and Rovers supporters who would be more inconvenienced, but I thought the whole idea was to go and see all the games (in one day at least), so what's the problem?
If I was in charge of the RFL for a day (there's an idea for a new topic) I'd scrap the Magic Weekend (for ever).

| At the end of the day the RFL has treated the supporters from the city of Hull with contempt again, like when they had fans facing the longest journey having to watch the last game on a Sunday at Cardiff. Of course you couldn't have predicted City would get to the Cup Final as they have a 100 years of not doing that but the improbable has happened. I'm sure the empty spaces at the Etihad will look brilliant and provide great PR for Super League - the clowns at the RFL do know which clubs buy the most tickets for the Magic weekend don't they?
The only positive might be that this farce will kill off this unnecessary weekend.

Agree that it would be silly to change the KO times now, the biggest issue is whose idea it was to have the magic weekend on the same day as the FA cup final in the first place. the media will all be focussed on the football, the wider non-rugby public of Manchester and surrounding area will be more inclined to watch the football and a fair number of rugby fans who watch football may have the inclination to watch the football.
Hull City getting to the final was a bit unpredictable but the RFL have been lucky it wasn't a Man Utd vs Man City final, that would have worked well trying to get the casual fan there. Suppose they dodged the nightmare bullet of it being City v Wigan tho.

Exactly.
Bit of forward planning many months ago and this wouldn't have happened.
Shows once again how incompetent the RFL are. Who on earth decided to hold it the same weekend as the FA Cup Final?
Whether City got there or not it is still crazy planning
Can't believe the people of Hull expect game times to be changed to accomodate us though. I'm sure we wouldn't be happy if it was Leeds or Wigan trying to change things?
I'll be watching rugby end of. By far the best sport.

| Quote: number 6 "City took over 27000 yesterday
City were given over 32000 for the semi, unless your a pass holder, been to some city games this season or attended yesterdays game the chances of getting a ticket are slim for people who want to go without being to a city game this season.'"
If City took circa 27k to the semi final does that mean they got outnumbered by a 3rd tier team?
Does that not signal enough of a message to Allam that the demand is simply not their for a Stadium extention. I am aware of load who went to the semi final as a one off day out ( no problem with that at all btw, )

I'm torn on the subject. On the one hand it makes for an unfair competition. On the other hand, having been to the etihad for the entire weekend a couple of years ago, it is a wonderful event and a great venue. I have been to grand finals and challenge cup finals, both with Hull playing and without, and as a day out, I much preferred the magic weekend.

Afterall he said he'll have trouble shifting the 25K they will get for the final (semi allocation minus unsold, 6k unsold)'"
Unsold tickets have nothing to do with it, Arsenal took 49,000 to their semi-final and also get 25,000 tickets.
