Where is everyone sitting... would be good to get an area for us to congregate again like last season which was well done..

The club gave a section out on the website

The HGSA gave it out on their column

Club gave it out and social media and it worked

need this again

where have the majority bought tickets for... side on unreserved?

6 of us side on unreserved

Same for us but going with Cas and Rhino fans so 6 in total - getting v excited now and really looking forward to a seeing the stadium. COYG.

Been bit of a farce for me.
I wanted for tickets unreserved and side-on for BOTH days but when I went to the ticket office, I was told the Giants had only been allocated 100 of these and all had been sold.

100!!

Bet Wigan and Leeds didn't get 100..

So bought 4 unreserved seats for the Sunday and have now ended up having to get 2 more seats for both days behind the posts which was apparently the cheapest option with my season ticket.
In other words, I've now got 2 spare tickets for the sunday.

Hope the Geordie stewards have been well-briefed and reminded that we're not football fans and hopefully, they will allow the other half and me into the side on the saturday so we can sit with our mates...

Can't wait to get back to City next season.

We couldn't get side on either so are behind the sticks. After originally thinking newcastle was a great choice, I've changed mind. Getting decent family Accommodation in the area has been a nightmare and the stadium ticketing has Spoilt it for me already. I watch all the games and like to sit with widnes, Leeds and wire friends during their games. For the giants game some of my mates are in the side some behind the sticks. With that and some getting reserved It looks like our fans are going to be very spread out.

Yeah prefer to be able to move around more! We have got side on unreserved but we are going up with another group from cas, main sections behind the sticks but at opposite ends so had to go in with the side so we can at least try find some of our own supporters for our respective games

my mate got 'side on unreserved' for the sunday just last week.. im expecting to get the same too.

is the band going?? prop just congregate towards them

we are this first game v catalans on sunday it might be a quarter full if that so dont think it will be a problem!

There are side on tickets for Sunday- but if, like us, you want weekend tickets then none available, and due to price difference they can't be split would have had to get Saturday tickets from elsewhere. I don't think this inability to move around as much will be as good for the atmosphere. They did that at millenium at first, then changed it in later years.

leeds and wigan usually take more than 100 to away games, can't really fault the RFL for giving one of the worst supported clubs less tickets.

i'm not going this time but i hope you all do us proud on the day

Wish I was going, hope you all have a great day and Giants turn on the style .

well we all ended up being spread out all over the place again... we took a good number upto newcastle though.

it seemed all the neutrals were against the Giants, no one likes us! Must be doing something right

that's the problem with magic weekend though, our fans never congregate together like other teams do, we have the odd groups big groups dotted around and lots of others sat on their own rather than all together.
i suppose that comes down to demographics, look at the fans photos on the examiner site, most of our fans are in the older age bracket and don't want to sing and shout etc

The club need to get a grip of this. I chose unreserved seats that were side on view as there all weekend. Another pocket of fans in opposite corner side on, then singers/band in 2nd tier behind sticks. That cannot happen by accident - can it??? Other teams seemed to have a defined block area. Club needs to get this sorted - what I fail to see is why this is has not been sorted before as every Magic weekend this is the same. Highlighted more this year through the lack of ability to move around stadium like you could at Ethihad or Cardiff.

It's not the clubs fault that people have their own preferences!!!
Many like side on- some prefer cheaper seats, some like a reserved seat.
All clubs had people in different stands not just us.
And those of you who had seats in the side were able to come behind the sticks- many did!!!

since when have Giants fans preferred to sit behind the posts?

the club should have put something out for the fans, maybe say where the band were going to be?

it wasnt very clear fans could move stands, alot were under the impression we couldnt switch stands. some fans were coming in 10mins before kick off so too late to find out

oh well if its at newcastle next year we might be able to decide where the majority will sit..toook us a few years to sort the manchester one out!

if it does go to newcastle again then they need to sort the big screen out, or should i say not so big screen??!

couldnt see the bottom of it with the band in the way

the ground inside and toilets were abit tardy/grotty for a premiership team.

not much room for the activities area outside either, much more room in manchester for that.

has its pros and cons, a record crowd being a good one but maybe thats because it was that first visit effect too and some may not go up again

I didn't say they preferred to sit behind the posts- but some go for cheaper tickets. It's an expensive do following a club!!!
We wanted side in but couldn't get them for the full weekend as that stand was sold out for the Saturday.
We were told we wouldn't be able to move but as there was plenty of room stewards were allowing those with more expensive tickets to move to sit in the cheaper stand.

I think that most fans would choose to sit together but club needs to do better to make this happen. I for one was not aware that seats could be swapped or you could move between stands and am pretty sure those around me did not either. Even if I did know on game day it was a bit late by then.

Surely the club could do better at least to highlight beforehand a selected area that they recommend to maximise our fans together? Trying to be positive as this clearly does not happen without some planning.

I was sat next to a chap who'd moved from east stand. He said when he went to buy his tickets they asked him where he wanted to sit- he asked at ticket office where most had bought theirs and the person at the ticket office told him east stand


He saw where the band were and just asked the steward if he could walk across and they said yes.

yes they did this last year and it worked well but wasnt as organised this time round, mainly due to it being a new venue i would think.

were the side on and behind the posts tickets not the same price? £17.50 i paid side on unreserved.

we only paid £20 for weekend tickets behind sticks- that's with ST discount.

Point is we know we will not be the best supported numbers wise so we need to work harder to ensure our fans are congregated together as much as possible.

Enjoyed the weekend and the pro's generally outweighed the cons.
Sat in the Gallowgate end corner with the HKR fans for the Widnes v Salford game - good turnout by HKR and Widnes btw - but wanted to get into the unreserved East stand to be with my mates. HKR fans staged a mass-breakout over a wall and once this was stopped, many more went down the front, along and emerged back up in the East stand.
we followed suit.
This was a bit cramped and the facilities weren't brilliant.
However, the atmosphere was excellent and together with the large number of punters staying over (as opposed to Manchester), the great Pubs and the friendly reception we got from everyone especially the locals, Newcastle gets a big thumbs up from me.

I completely agree about the Giants fans being spread around and the club badly needs to endure that all are sat in two big clumps next season, ideally neither in the East stand.

All in all though, we are so lucky to be supporters of the greatest game
