Have Huddersfield managed to set-up the worst double header system?

[RigbyLuger]

So, you've got the women and men of Huddersfield and Wigan playing on Saturday, so far, so simple. To watch both games, you have to buy seperate tickets and leave the stadium between games.

Do they want it to be a failure?

Never heard of any double headers where you had to buy 2 tickets & leave in between games and re-enter. 

I guess they are expecting a full house, so can't double sell seats .....

[Chrispmartha]

That’s utterly ridiculous id be interested to know the justification for it.

It does seem like an almighty faff. I wonder if they need to do this to get the accurate attendance figures to the safety officer to then use for IMG grading submission?

It doesn’t seem to matter when they do the double headers at the Rhinos.

Then it makes it even stranger. Maybe a financial technicality that means income from different games need to be diverted to different entities? I don't think I've ever known a double header have this sort of arrangement.

Is that right if you are a Wigan fan wanting to watch both games you would have to pay £15 to watch the first game then another £22 to watch the second game?

Looks that way, which is ridiculous.

Although not sure how they would enforce it. Why not just buy a ticket for the women's game then just stay inside the stadium for the men’s?

Save yourself £6

Wonder what the players in the men's game will think, as everybody leaves just as they run out to warm up

Logistically it's fine. Commercially it's absolutely barmy. To charge £37 if you want to watch both games just feels like a poor decision.

15 quid to watch Valkyrie v Leeds followed by Knights v Sheffield at York on Sunday. You don't have to leave the stadium* in between games, although a lovely new lounge bar and grill has opened up next door... 

*Some York fans might actually want to!

What are they going to do? Check there's no one in any of the loo cubicles etc. Seems a right fuss to me, and only likely to cost them potential spectator admissions and catering revenue.

IMG aren't just taking clubs word for attendance figures anyway. They're bringing in their own people to check on numbers.

At the WC double header they didn’t let you leave the stadium between matches

[Angelic Upstart]

Hull KR women played Huddersfield a few weeks back prior to the mens game, fans weren't even allowed in to watch!

I thought they were using safety officer reports of actual attendees, with the odd spot check? 

[Spidey]

Farce

[langpark]

Wow, I am speechless.  This is peak amateur hour.  Will fans also be asked to pour the pints at the bar at half-time and do some stewarding in between?

Exactly....I'd hide in the toilet between games
