I really want to watch the YCK Ladies, but there's the best part of an hour and a half between the games....... don't want to be trapped with nothing but Amstel @ £5.50 a pint to keep me company! I asked the club the same question via e.mail , still no reply , double headers are a great idea but when speccies are there 5 hours plus in house food drink offers are important as pass out s are .

Mick the Miller Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Club confirmed to me that once you leave the stadium there is no return. Probably as one could pass on their ticket to someone else for the second game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanishknight Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Looks like 2Ps is playing Sunday and Fordy said he could play all 3 halfbacks, hope he doesn't mess about with the team this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really, really poor show ...... leaving such a big gap between the two games both robs YCK ladies of the boost of a building crowd cheering them on, and makes a mockery of the much-vaunted "match-day experience" available at the Vanguarde centre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Hall Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 If that’s the case they should have sold separate tickets for both matches. Don’t think many fans will want to sit in the ground watching nowt for an hour and drink £6 pints in a plastic glass and eat rubbish hot dogs. I was going to take the kids but they’d be bored out of their minds. Not as if there’s even an indoor bar we can go in or anything else to do at all.

Fenton Knight Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Ladies kick off at 12:00. I am planning to watch their second half (12:50ish). Match should finish around 1:40. A pint in the bar, read the programme, catch up with a couple of mates then take in the warm ups and pre match atmosphere ahead of the game. Time will fly.

spanishknight Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 If there was only half hour between games people would be still moaning, it's a rugby league thing, we're only happy when we're moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from hospitality and premium lounge the super duper new stadium is sadly lacking an indoor bar/social area where fans can comfortably meet before, during and briefly after match days. As for tomorrows double header, general fans appear to be at the mercy of hospitality. Matchday info clearly states that after the ladies game hospitality clients will then have 90 minutes to enjoy their 3 course meal and sherberts. Lucky them. Of course, at 60 quid a go hospitality is much needed revenue for the club, but on witnessing the chaos caused by this scenario to allocated seating in the premium seating area and the aforementioned double header it appears, IMO, to be a simple case of BAD PLANNING.

This is yet again another example of the Stadium Management Company damaging the good name and image of York City Knights.

spanishknight Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Game day, a lovely sunny day in North Yorkshire as usual, just the type of day to watch a game of rugby in a great stadium, why not watch two games for the price of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose the alternative is to watch the ladies on the Our League app then go to the men's game. I think the ladies game is free and the men's is a pay job.

Peter G. Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 Couldn't make it today due to illness, so watched on our league. Was a pleasure to see a superb 80 minute performance. Whilst some lovely tries were scored it was great to see the Knights defence stifle the Widnes attack again and again. Well done all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
