Yeah, that's what I've read. But is it £25 to get in the ground and the face painting, etc free? £25 to get in the ground but face painting, etc to be paid for?

I've a horrible feeling it'll cost me a bomb lol.

So far as I can gather it's just drinks that you have to buy on top of the entrance fee (which is £25 for a family or £10 per adult, £5 per child - I don't know what consitutes a family exactly!).

What I don't understand is the lack of starting times on the promotional bumf

Do they expect people to just turn up when they feel like it?

So many prestige events such as the Dinner are for those who have little interest in rugby league and being loyal to the game, it just wrongly comes down to £££££

Of course it comes down to £££, but that doesn't mean there won't be genuine fans there.

I bought two tickets for the black tie "Greatest 17" dinner this Friday for my dad and he can't wait. I got an email yesterday saying that particular evening had sold out, so at £99 a pop for tickets it's a nice little earner for the club and a great opportunity to spend the evening in the company of the best players to grace KR.

Two adults and two children I think I read somewhere.

The black tie dinner looks like being a big money maker.

600 people at £99 each is £59400.

Now obviously you have to knock off the cost of marquee, gorden burns, food etc when looking at profit, but wouldnt surprise me if this event along cleared £20k+ profit.

which isn't much of a dent in the large losses made in recent times.

Does anyone know how to pre-order the DVD?

I tried to do it on line as invited but it just says "Sorry, item is either out of stock or an insufficient level to fulfil your requirements" instead of "thank you for your pre-order" or the like.
Getting kind of sick with my on line experience with the shop it is so amateurish.
