That is an RFL event though, what percentage do Leeds get?

Not me.
I was all set to go up to Murrayfield for a weekend last year but ££ situation caused a re-think and this event will always be a low priority imo.

He’s just making excuses for why Wigan are crap these days. Of course selling Merchandise of your ancient challenge cup wins earn more than your one super league grand final win

I have spoken to a Leeds official who said that by far the biggest money spinner was the WCC. It's a one off, large attendance, not shared with other clubs, decent sponsorship and decent prize money. As a WCC comes on the back of a GF win then that combined I'd say the GF is worth more thabn the CC.
Of course, I can understand a current Wigan official not knowing much about the mathematics of a GF win.

Was it too good an opportunity for you to stick the boot in to Leeds?
Ironically, the Leeds of that era probbaly deserved it unlike the current Leeds team that you often seem to relish complaning about.

| Quote ="Dave Lister"Depends if they've managed to snag a couple of Cheapskate Special train tickets for the journey down.'"
The cost of the train tickets is irrelevant .... It just depends if the final kicks off to such a time that regardless what price of the ticket you buy you still can't make it there and back in a day and then forget to tell anyone else other than the Wembley gateman what time it's actually happening.
As for the cup final this year, I was going anyway .... It's actually far more entertaining to go as a neutral and see someone else going through the mental anguish, like watching the Hull fans for the 10 mins they were actually in the lead against Saints the other year.

I also know a few who have been put off by reduced capacity and a few who are watching the pennies In tough times and are just gonna see it on the beeb? It's 70 sheets for tickets plus drinks and food so add at least 50 quid to that! So £120 for an afternoon out for my mate, his wife and 2 kids is just not a gower right now. Other people maybe similar at the moment?'"
I fail to see why people would be put off by a reduced capacity!! Im not going because there will be only 10k on at most!!!
Its the quarter final of our most historic trophy. I bleat onto people about how good league is and tommorrow on national tv the two biggest clubs in the county will play in front of an embarrasing crowd! If RL fans dont want to watch OUR sport then how do we expect to attract new supporters to the sport!!!

By doing this you are stealing from the club.
