Just waiting for the club to announce that ST holders gain free entry via one of the special offer vouchers in an attempt to boost numbers!

Think that somebody has already pointed out on this thread that that would contravene RFL CC rules.

A (home) 4th round draw has been free for ST holders for at least the past 4 years (can't remember before that) after that a separate home ticket was needed if we progressed.

Yes, I do remember that. Also remember the rule though. Both clubs are supposed to get 50% of the gate receipts.

Ahhhh... as kids ST holders are free and adults just £15 I'll be down. Especially as the Hemel Stags CC game has been changed from a home game to an away one against Wakey. Stags, BTW, are only charging £20 for the coach up AND admission for adults. Amazed London have not tried a travel/admission price like that to travel up to the M62 even for a few select games.

The used to give travel up north away in 2006 and nobody bothered......think it had something to do with not pushing/marketing the opportunity......I may be wrong.

I'd suggest it was because not enough people wanted to go. We went on a couple of coach trips, and they were less than half full - the coaches were being advertised "internally" to the existing supporter base (I think even in the programmes, but can't be sure now).
Problem is, apart from the additional time spent in a coach versus driving (which I would normally have done), the pick up points are no use to me - and I suspect many others.
I know a couple of trips have been initiated on this forum, not sure what the numbers are like.

I did 2...Wales and Wakey.

IIRC I filled a 70 seater to Wales and a 45 seater to Wakey....they were about 20 notes each...used FB, Email, home games and the club site to drum up interest....have to say, the Wales trip was the biggest away following from London I've ever seen.....good craic!
