We have a winner


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.

I hear Allam has paid the FA to move the cup final a day so it doesnt clash with rugby

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.

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.

Re: Dual fans dilemma : Tue Apr 15, 2014 2:50 pm  
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

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

Re: Dual fans dilemma : Tue Apr 15, 2014 7:51 pm  
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.

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 arsenal? We would have the same problem. Make a decision which team to watch

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.
