Futtocks Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Deserves a thread of its own, doesn't it? Apparently, Bradford have sold over 1,800 tickets already.

Scubby Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Deserves a thread of its own, doesn't it? Apparently, Bradford have sold over 1,800 tickets already. Looking forward to watching these games. Last year the crowds were okay without being spectacular. Let's hope for a good turnout. An upturn in form for Leigh, Bradford and Featherstone will help numbers I think.

Southampton Leyther Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Leigh have gone past the 1500 mark and tickets are still selling fast. Club has had to request extra tickets from the RFL. Should be a great attendance on the Saturday. Can't see anyone else getting close to Leigh or Bradford in terms of support though so numbers on the Sunday may well dip. I reckon there will be about 3000 ish each from Bradford and Leigh by KO on Saturday. Really looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griff9of13 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Talking of Leigh... Was going to say something uncomplimentary, then remembered Wigan's effort for the magic weekend so thought better of it.

Futtocks Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 Was going to say something uncomplimentary, then remembered Wigan's effort for the magic weekend so thought better of it. Indeed. Mote and beam, and all that. In fact, worse, as Wigan will be sporting the hi-viz kit more than once this season.

It's quite fitting that Wigan should field a team of 13 referee look-a-likes given all the recent jibes.

Just Browny Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Isn't numbering controlled by regulations. Strongest argument for Brexit I've heard yet. I can confirm 30+ less sales for Scotland vs Italy at Workington, after this afternoons test purchase for the Tonga match, £7.50 is extremely reasonable, however a £2.50 'delivery' fee for a walk in purchase is beyond taking the mickey, good luck with that, it's cheaper on the telly.

gingerjon Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Obviously I should mock but credit to Leigh for that. Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day.

EssexRL Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 I was struggling again with yet more good news about RL (I really cannot cope with all this positivity) but luckily the sight of that Leigh strip bought me right back to earth.... dear dear Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amber Avenger Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Any news on what the sales for the clubs playing Sunday look like? Although Bulls vs Leigh should be a great match, I think the RFL did well to keep them apart last year to ensure a spread of two of the bigger fanbases across both days. SQL Honours Play off mini league winner - 2002. Bronze Medalist - 2003. Big Split Group Winner - 2006. Minor Stupidship - 2005, 2006.

sweaty craiq Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 Almost the right shirt, the club sponsor has given up the front for the charity the club is supporting on the day, all shirt proceeds plus other fundraising going via the charity to Alder Hey. Shirts were to order and fans could have the heritage number of choice on the front. The shorts are a beach holiday must though, don't you think.

Leigh had sold out today but expect more tomorrow as clubs return them, mate left it late and bought/reserved 4 of tomorrows batch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPosh Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Not sure I like that Leigh kit, but I do love the effort to create something unique (pretty much matches my feelings about the Bradford kit). Looks a bit dark though against the Bradford kit - have the RFL thought this through. People called Romans they go the house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I guess this is my point, there seems to be a lot of noise about Saturday - not much about Sunday yet. I assume you can buy general stadium tickets on the day? I'm not going to be able to know if my group is definitely going to be able to go until pretty late on. SQL Honours Play off mini league winner - 2002. Bronze Medalist - 2003.
