Personally speaking it would take something special to make me miss this one

But I would like to know if anyone knows how to get a petition sorted to make the powers that be aware of "possible problems" as I`m not technically PC minded enough

Running a bus as I often do to get Giants/Fartown fans to Cardiff/ big games / playoffs etc as economically as possible I find the Rugby Leagus attitude disappointing

At Warrington for the semis --there WERE concessions for "old fogeys " like me / children and students and that was fine and commendable (Id have paid "full price" if I had to!!)

However - at Wembley --------nothing

On club coaches -----------nothing

People such as Wishy /DG with youngsters (and Ponner and Lel ) have to pay full whack to let there children witness what could (hopefully not!) be a "once in a lifetime" experience
Dammit in my senior years -- its been 56 years since I saw em lift the CUP!!

Ken is pushing the game to youngsters- and that is extremely commendable - but the fact that a youngster has to pay full price at the stadium and on a coach is totally disgusting and negative - in my opinion!!

I also know two OAP`s - who have supported Fartown through thick amd thin - who - in these difficult times- now cannot afford to see them in what could be there last Wembley cup final

and after all that --if there are empty seats - and despite the "balance sheet" looking extremely healthy - to me it sends out the wrong ideals and images

Then--to say --if its a draw --that they`ll do the same "all over again" 10 days later is commercialism to the extreme

But sadly - in my eyes - that is one of the negatives about this "great game"

Teams compete and consider salary caps all season - and that is par for the course

But - come the games no 1 showpiece -- it appears its " milk the fans "-yippee!!

Yes - I fortunately CAN AND WILL afford it -- and many more will make sacrifices to be THERE

But I sincerely believe that in these difficult time and because of this "immoral" pricing structure the powers that be levy - there will be quite a considerable number of fans "young"/ "older" and of limited means from Hudds / Warrington and the teams of RL in general who will miss this great day because there are greater financial priorities in their lives than an expensive (? ) trip to the capitol to watch the final

For there then to be empty seats - at a televised showpiece - I find very very shortsighted and a negative impact on the "advancement" of the sport!!!!

I agree Crackers - i'm still unemployed and on Jobseekers allowance and i am taking my youngest for the day as its his birthay the same day and i promised him if we got to Wembley i would take him as his birthday 'present' o i've got 2 lots of 'adult' prices to pay.

I am seriously struggling to afford it but the day i miss seeing Fartown at Wembley will be the day hell freezes.

but a little help in these hard times especcially for us less fortunate ones wouldn't go amiss.

In response to Crackers!

I agree that due to the family orientations of RL that the non concessions of Wembley is out of order for possibly a once in a lifetime event. But the thing is Wembley is still paying for it's rebuild and for all events regardless they are no concessions, as far as they are concerned a seats a seat and the RFL have to abide by that till the debt is paid and many complaints are considered. We have to be grateful that the prices are cheaper than say a Football League Play off a meadiocre competition in comparison and yet more expensive to watch.

My main gripe is with the official coaches, as someone has pointed out they had to be arranged at short notice but so too did Towns trip to Newcastle next week. And also if Warrington can get theirs so much cheaper and include consession prices I do feel out own supporters are being fleeced somewhat!

For the record Cobi and I are going with Daz.

I have a spare train ticket from Leeds to Kings X for the game. Leaving Leeds at 8.40 am arriving Kings X at 11.20. Return in the evening at 8pm back in Leeds for 10.30. Train back to Hudds at 10.40 (not included in Tkt).

I'll be travelling with my 2 sons to the match and the spare ticket seat is with us. The tickets cost £50 online 2 weeks ago but now are £160 on these trains althoughyou can get a cheaper later train going down for £120.

I'd like to get £50 but will listen to offers.

Mail me if you're interested.

This'll be my 30th RL final and 3rd Fartown/Giants one. It's got to be 3rd time lucky!!!
