| I'd prefer to go by bus so I can have a pint but it looks like an hours bus ride from the city plus I have to get from there home. Doubt that I could make it in time with work etc.
Looks like I'll be taking the car - or would it be better to try and get a coach especially if parking is tight?

| As someone who relies on the train to get to home games, I think I'll go to the twenty20 at Headingley instead that night!

| This already seems to be condescending into disaster.

| Its embarassing, but the Dewsbury fans are going mad about it so Im all for it! Apparently Dewsbury offered us their ground and we could keep the gate receipts but we turned it down, as well as playing it at Wakey

| It is shocking to be honest. £14..? love to see how many show up, i'll try and make it but I have no car so if it's crappy weather i'm not catching the tram, bus & walking their i'll stay in & watch the mighty saints.
Club should organise some coaches from Bramall Lane & back at minimal charge to fans..

| I agree with the coach idea and I wouldn't blame anyone for choosing not to go. A truly embarrassing episode.

Presumably that's what they were after - an extra home game. BUT the RFL wouldn't even let us do that with a Reserve Grade game last year. We just got a lecture on 'integrity of the competition' and when we pointed out that we did it, with their approval, in 2009, they said they hadn't noticed.

Me neither. Feel sorry for season ticket holders.

| Have a word, Don Valley is crap but it's 1000000x better than Mount St Mary's. Only reason you're so happy to go there is cos it's virtually on your doorstep!!

| I travel from Hull and not being a native of Sheffield have no idea where Spinkhill is! Sounds little more than a school playing field.
Although I have a season ticket I have no intention of travelling to Spinkhill on a Friday night. My season ticket was bought with the intention of watching matches on a Sunday afternoon preferably at Bramall Lane.
I,ve just found out that the home game against Barrow has now been moved from Saturday to Thursday. This is another game I will not be travelling to!
By now I wish i'd not spent the money on the season ticket. I won't be doing it next season.

I've every sympathy with you. Rugby League certainly doesn't help itself but, even in the old winter rugby days, the fixture list was just a basis for negotiation. A Saturday match in February could soon become a Wednesday afternoon in March.
The trouble with season tickets is that it's difficult to balance the discount you give to make them attractive to punters against the risk that they may miss a game. There's no certainty at all that they'd be a good deal for you at the time you make the decision to buy one. The whole system belongs to the members' clubs of the nineteenth century and needs a good looking at.
Spinkhill, just for information, is a couple of miles at most from J30 of the M1. A lot easier to get to than Bramall Lane on a Friday night.
