So lads!! can someone answer my question from a few days ago please.

I think the answer is that the majority of us don't know. Ok we have played at the Lane before but it's over 10 years ago The ground is in a residential area surrounded by lots of terraced houses so there are pubs, they are the more traditional type.

I'd just do a google search or wait until we have played Featherstone.

Your best bet is to ask on a Sheffield United forum or wait for Eagleblade to reply, most of us are Wednesday fans.

We don't really know what bars are open at the ground and whether you can take drinks to seats etc.
Not sure what catering will be available.

I think beer ar the Lane is Marstons smooth which is "OK" but if it's the same price as it was at the race nights then I think it's expensive. Saying that it has to be better quality than DVS.

How many do you think well get for the wigan game at the lane? Would be good to get 10000.

If it's 3000 it'll be good

I'm hoping for 5,000

Re: Challenge Cup Round 4 : Mon Mar 15, 2010 4:24 pm  

We'll bring 2-3 thousand. However, most Wigan season ticket holders will go with a free ticket. viewtopic.php?f=28&t=448896

.......... as they did in Barrow last year.

I believe all SL teams should pay a proportion of the entry; as the gate is shared; and it is grossly unfair to the lower league teams who really require the income of the "more financially well off teams" who theoretically have more supporters and vastly more financial support from the RFL.

Re: Challenge Cup Round 4 : Tue Mar 16, 2010 8:23 am  

I think that the cup should be all pay for everyone with the RFL setting minimum and maximum prices for the matches across the board.

Take a holistic view of the game SL and realise that this competion is more than about you. Yes it's likely that a team from SL will win in but it's starts months before with the amateur teams.
