I’ve never really got folk taking babies to games under normal circumstances, never mind as things are now. Parents may well feel they get sumat out of it, but child certainly doesn’t.
always baffled me that. You often get shots of the baby on sky, barely months old. Everyone oohhs and ahhs over it. I just always think how cruel of the parents to put their desire to see a game of rugby, over the little one. Think they wear it as a badge of honour that ‘arr Chanel as bin watchin wiggin since she wuz 3 weyk old’.
I have seen parents with the baby wearing ear protectors, I would be more concerned about the child getting crushed or dropped, see enough fans stumbling on the steps on the way in and out then factor in the drunken idiots its not the safest environment and for what! as you say bragging rights

Some Yorkshire grounds in the 80's and someone always brought their dog.

A few years back at a challenge cup game we made the the decision to pay on the gate and go for the standing area,got to a barrier in the front and settled down for the afternoon,nature as always takes its toll and hubby needed the loo so made his way past to 2 drunk morons who’d stood next to us off he goes,he’s not to clever on his feet nowadays but he insisted I stay where I was,so back he comes he waited to the ball went dead and asked the morons if he could get past,they ignored him surprise there so he tried to get past they shoved him back and down he went twisting his ankle and knocking into someone,to his horror he saw it was a bloke with a new born babe in his arms,not surprisingly they yelled at him and he was quick to apologise rightly so.
At the final whistle he did come over and they had a chat and all was well but I can’t help but feel why was a new born in the crowd and standing end at that?it seems odd even now a good few years on why take a baby to the match it makes no sense at all,we now have a granddaughter and she has a season ticket but I doubt even with COVID sticking it’s oar in we wouldn’t take her probably now till next year.
That said I’ve seen people with babies at a Paul macartney concert and those tickets are a damn sight more than what a rugby game costs just shows people are odd
Sorry gents and ladies for my late reply and going back off topic haha. I've requested a cash refund multiple times and all I've ever been offered is a flight voucher. And to answer someones question i booked directly with Ryanair. I was due to go to spain at the end of March last year and my flight was actually cancelled.
Big gap at DW between Rd 5 Hull FC (29th April - 2nd May) and Rd 10 Hull KR (17th to 20th June).
Looks like we are having a pitch relay this year.
same with fc, bloomin' football team have ruined it, yet somehow football fans still try blame the one game of rugby that was played on it in 12 months!!
