I travel from Hull and not being a native of Sheffield have no idea where Spinkhill is! Sounds little more than a school playing field.
Although I have a season ticket I have no intention of travelling to Spinkhill on a Friday night. My season ticket was bought with the intention of watching matches on a Sunday afternoon preferably at Bramall Lane.
I,ve just found out that the home game against Barrow has now been moved from Saturday to Thursday. This is another game I will not be travelling to!
By now I wish i'd not spent the money on the season ticket. I won't be doing it next season.
I've every sympathy with you. Rugby League certainly doesn't help itself but, even in the old winter rugby days, the fixture list was just a basis for negotiation. A Saturday match in February could soon become a Wednesday afternoon in March.
The trouble with season tickets is that it's difficult to balance the discount you give to make them attractive to punters against the risk that they may miss a game. There's no certainty at all that they'd be a good deal for you at the time you make the decision to buy one. The whole system belongs to the members' clubs of the nineteenth century and needs a good looking at.
Spinkhill, just for information, is a couple of miles at most from J30 of the M1. A lot easier to get to than Bramall Lane on a Friday night.
