I don't see why people are aggrieved by the additional cost for the Warrington game, they are one of best teams in Super League and hopefully they will bring a good following.

Proper bar at the ground mate .. 'The Hall of Fame Bar '...no need to visit a pub

I think capacity is 5k now.

Not too much pub wise directly around the ground. As Rach has said there the Hall of Fame in the ground. Alternatively there's the cricket club next door which will no doubt open it's doors. Keighley Town Centre's only a 5-10 minute walk away from the ground.

On 'Wikipidia it says that it is 7800 - but I would imagine that's before the stand capacity was reduced.

If it's true that Warrington have only been allocated 1400 tickets then from where are the remaining supporters going to come?

Wouldn't it be better to ask Warrington how many tickets they can sell and then, taking into account the potential sales in Keighley, allocate the remainder to Warrington?

It's not 'rocket science' and will avoid potential problems at the gates on the day.

I think the ground's capacity was reduced when the exits where the turnstyles are behind the scoreboard were blocked off by the used car dealership.

Trying to sort the day off at work be nice to visit a new ground. 15pound is a bit pricey but can't blame you trying to make as much money as possibly. Glad they have got rid of the free 4th round entry( and 5th in juniors) in season tickets.

Re: Warrington Game/thrashing : Sat Apr 07, 2012 7:27 pm  

With wire playing in France on Monday perhaps more will turn out on Sunday? Squad they are sending to France is:
Wolves Squad is:
18 Matty Blythe
3 Chris Bridge
6 Lee Briers
10 Garreth Carvell
17 Mike Cooper
33 Brad Dwyer
15 Simon Grix
14 Micky Higham
20 Chris Hill
1 Brett Hodgson
21 Tyrone McCarthy
5 Joel Monaghan
8 Adrian Morley
7 Richie Myler
24 Gareth O'Brien
2 Chris Riley
11 Trent Waterhouse
12 Ben Westwood
16 Paul Wood

Maybe they'll stay there? I hear perpignan is nice in April.

And yes I am coming, 15 quid isn't too bad I suppose. I'd drank a box of Asda Biere De Luxe when I started this thread. Still i'm sure my season ticket offered me an extra game, where's that gone? Bulls probably.

Re: Warrington Game/thrashing : Sat Apr 07, 2012 8:32 pm  

They'll rest a few against us I would have thought.

I'd love to see Lee Briers and Adrian Morley play at Cougar Park though.
