Last game on the Sunday, back to work monday..
Are there any stats available on ticket allocation/sales for this event over the years, just wondering if there's a reason we are last game again, we have the furthest to travel (excluding Quins/Cats) And being the last game will have everyone else on the motorway with us who decided to stay and watch our game!
I would be interested to see some stats and see if they tie in with which games are placed where in the schedule.
Its hard to tell when you only go watch your own game but it seems Rovers & Hull take far more than the rest, again I know the rest of the stadium empties as their games have finished so I don't really notice the other teams turnouts.
We're unable to attend this year for various reasons, but will be watching in the comfort of our own home and tucked up in bed ready for work the following day, probably like most of the fans i've spoken too, thumbs up to the RFL bringing back the magic derby - thumbs down making it the last game on the sunday without a B/H!

I reckon it's for the reasons that you have already stated that we take a good crowd, do agree with you tho that its unfair that the last two times we have been to millennium we are the last game, same as Wigan and saints on the sat which isn't to bad, I still think quite a few will go if the game finishes at 6 your talking home by 11ish!! Which is only like going across the pennines on a Fri night, plus traffic a lot quieter on a Sunday, so here is hoping we still get a good crowd to out sing Hull because I reckon they will be taking a few thousand themselves.

It's totally unfair to stick us last all but 1 time! The only magic weekend I haven't been to was last years because the first year at Edinburgh was very poor, I am going again this year due to it being in Cardiff (which is a much better venue) but for us to be last on the last day again is absolutely ridiculous!

Yeah we went to Edinburgh two Years ago never again, the people were ignorant,bars would not let you in with rugby shirts on and a whole lot more as soon as we knew it was at Cardiff we booked straight away, great atmosphere in thR pubs especially around the ground, can't wait .....

as the furthest travelling yorkshire clubs we should be on saturday anyway.as youve pointed out you might get 10k going from our city. tbf even if we did take 10k between us on a saturday the attendance would still look crap in an 80k stadium.60-70k over 2 days in an 80k stadium makes us look mickey mouse on tv.hardly sells the game
