Quote: Mild mannered Janitor "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, )'"


If Hull FC were playing Sheffield RLFC at wembley (average £50 a ticket) in the semi with all likelihood being that they will be in the final in a month do you think you'd get a big turn out? This was Sheff utd's final, they knew in all liklihood they weren't going any further and if they did it would be a historic win. All this was for City was a potential banana skin.
If City did kick on a level (highly unlikely) then the demand would probably increase and for the big games they would sell out 30K - £35K. Don't know the average gate this season but it must be around £23k - £24k if you take out the cup games.

Whoever it was saying they's struggle to sell 25k for the final is really kidding themselves.

I e-mailed the RFL to clarify why Magic Weekend is not taking place over the Bank holiday weekend.This is the reply is recieved from Rob Porteous





Thank you for your email below and I’d be delighted to clarify the reason why Magic Weekend is being played a week earlier this year.



Due to the Football World Cup taking place Manchester City’s season finishes a week earlier this year. As part of their pitch maintenance they used to remove the turf after their last game however since 2012 they’ve delayed this by a week in order for us to be able to play the Magic Weekend fixtures. It is for this reason that we’ve had to move the weekend not because of One Direction.



Kind regards

Rob

Quote: frepneyboy "Yes, Utd sold 35k....'"



City got 32,500odd
Sheff United got a couple hundred less

It was reported in the HDM that city were trying to encourage fans to buy tickets for the semi final as they would have more difficulty getting final tickets, but some fans decided to take a chance

Swansea at home, vital game, decent weather, £22 per ticket raised a crowd of 22,5000 ! By my reckoning only sold out 5 or 6 times all season. Man City only sold out the day before the game, those were £35 though.

Sadly Hull folks not wealthy enough to bring in the numbers wanted. Crowds about at their peak - absolutely no point in extending stadium.

Quote: The Judge "Leeds n Wigan go to 5 and we kick off at 715 should`nt be a problem should it? I mean with them two being the biggest supported clubs with fans that love the league game then they are all gonna be in the ground anyway, are`nt they?????'"


bigger problem than you think. Coach times from wigan/leeds are scheduled to arrive at an appropriate time for a 7-15 kick off. Are you suggesting we inconvenience coach firms to accomodate something that has no significance to wigan and leeds fans?

for what its worth, what if wigan latics had beaten nal? We would have the same problem. Make a decision which team to watch

Quote: wigan pie man "so lets stop blaming the RFL for bad planning, and blame One Direction Intresting that on Superleague backchat the panel all agreed the RFL should swap Wigan v Saints game with the Hull derby. For the sake of two and a half hours I would of thought it wouldn't really affect anyone's plans as everybody would be there anyway. All the Hull people would be then able to watch Hull City if they choose and if City did win the cup, the Hull derby would create a fantastic atmosphere in the last game. Come on RFL grow a pair for once and let common sense prevail.

Hang on it's 27 miles from the DW to the Etihad and there are 4 games on. So one has to ask why a team with the shortest distance to travel would decide that they are only going to go to one game?
Them being bumped up to 5PM will not effect those going all day AT ALL.

It's also only 36 miles from Elland road to the Ethiad which is hardly a massive Journey in itself either.

Your example is not that relevant. The fact remains that there are more tickets made available for the FA cup semi finalists than the finalists . Irrespective of probability of a City win (and bear in mind Sheffield Utd had already beaten some premier league team, so it was not a forgone conclusion) , there was less chance of a final ticket than a semi final. I appreciate the travel factor, but Arsenal fans were more than interested against a lower league team as they knew it was a day out at the national stadium. The final has always been a lower allocation of the competing teams.

I never suggested they would struggle to sell the 25k for the final. Just pointed out that there is not the huge following that Allam things is going to appear should the KC be extended.

Let's face it there have been plenty of games this season they have not sold out.

1st its wigan v leeds kicking off 19.15pm game to finish at 20.50pm

2nd last train from manchester to hull is 21.12pm changing at leeds getting there at 22.09pm and leaving leeds at 22.22pm getting into hull at 23.25pm

that would give hull fc / hull kr fans 20 mins to get from man city ground to manchester Piccadilly to get the last train back to Hull

RFL have said that the move from the Bank Holiday weekend is due to Man City's season finishing a week early due to the World Cup, so they are digging the pitch up a week earlier too.

Is Hodgson the new Griffin, or is it all about pace?:

Swap it with the earlier Widnes v Salford game - no train problems.

Could finish even later than 20.50 pm if our game against Hudds was anything to go by.50 minute first half

the RFL won't want a mass exodus of Hull & Rovers fans on the final hooter to go watch the City game on TV, the games have been arranged so that the crowd builds during the day then peaks at the start of the Wigan-Leeds game.

selfishly i'd like to watch both the FC & the City game, but I can see the RFL's point of view on this.

Speaking as not a fan of City, I can see the dilemma if you do follow both clubs. As has been pointed out, its not every day City get to a Wembley final, therefore it is understandable if a person decides to give Wembley priority.
I hope they go on and win it.
