I looked at that but it wasn't that great a deal - it was very badly marketed.
It was sold as a 'flexi-ticket', aimed at those who missed too many games to make a season ticket worthwhile. I looked at it, as I'm in that category myself.
The problem was that you had to pick your six games before the season started, which isn't very "flexible" by anyone's definition other than those in the Headingley marketing office. One of the reasons I miss games is because I can get a phone call / email asking me to be somewhere with just hours notice, so picking my games in advance isn't going to work.
The other problem was that you could only have two of your six games against "category A" opposition (Wigan, St Helens, Warrington, etc). The other four had to be against Super League Whipping Boy Rabble. I understand why they did that - allowing you to pick the six biggest teams would cannibalise the core season ticket market, but it just didn't make the package appealing at all.

Did they do a flexi ticket to watch the cloud formations sat on the other side of the North stand?
