Quote ="Soupy"Maybe I'm mistaken then. I support equally whichever competition it is, so i was asking more about what I was paying and how many games I could watch. For me, at that cost it was a no brainer because I'd get to all home games that I physically could.
In terms of free tickets: If another club has a season ticket that lets them get to the first challenge cup game free, surely that club would still have to pay something over to share out the game revenue? Just because a fan gets in free shouldn't mean the other club gets no revenue from the gate receipts?'"
Cup games are still shared gate. But if a load of the fans are getting in to the game for nothing because it's free with their season ticket, then the pot that is split is greatly reduced. For example Swinton would have made far much more money out of their game with Wire because their game against them was in the round after ours and far less season ticket holders got in for nowt.
