The A$10 tickets were only for some specific seats, in the last few days. Regular price is A$49 in the lower tier - pretty similar to the UK.Â
Can you please stop interfering with my Con wind ups as we head towards the Ashes

I may have missed something earlier in the ticket discussion. I recall Gurner explaining that some Everton tickets had been allocated ( but not sold/paid for) to Everton FC season ticket holders, thus in effect removing them from general sale but still counted as tickets sold. Â
Is there any further information? Playing devil's advocate, selling out a 60k stadium so quicky sounds a little unusualÂ
Only returns will be any unsold corporate now, nothing ‘reserved’ for fans. An exception might be the Tours coming over

Over 65,000 at the Bulldogs v Rabbitohs.Â
Impressive.Â
What happened with the 80,000 projections and with A$10 tickets it brings in less than Hull v Kr game - typical cheap cons

OK you have excused Lui, but he is playing 13, so who is watching a different game? The role of a 13 has changed over the last few seasons to being a ball playing forward we are back to the days when it was prevalent that is what the 13 would do, this is Lam's problem and moreso the teams that we are lacking options on offence, if Adrian knew this when assembling his squad this year which is an about turn from how he has had his team playing with attacking options both sides of the ruck in his previous seasons as coach.
Interested to hear your opinion on how you see Armstrongs game, and don't give me the defensive organiser bit again, 103 points conceded in 3 consecutive games kind of blows that apart.
To have a ball playing 13 you need some real grunt - maybe when this lad is over it allows Ipape to 13, First 3Â games we conceded 16. Look at Mulhern and Halton as to when points got conceded.

Next season, it may have passed you by but we really could do with some game management in the team now, Lui and Armstrong are not performing as wanted, Lui is every bit a poor man's Asiata, and Armstrong just looks totally lost he's not a clue with how to perform a linking full backs role.
You are watching a different game to me, Liu and Asiata can’t be like for like compared as two different styles, and some fans for some reason thought they were a like for like. Liu was signed before Moylan retired and imo we need more grunt and Lam deeper with options, Liu is used more as a prop and does the work of one. When the new boy arrives we have a pack to compete with any, let’s use it.

Not sure this makes it make any more sense to be honest. If we'd signed an overseas half back, that would've made more sense
Course it makes sense, otherwise nobody would give a hoot about Amone not re-signing. The deal was obviously all but done before Amone became available and the Amone situation probably sped it up. We got bullied at KR and at home v Wakey in the middle - granted we were missing in that area but  we are now much stronger with this lad Liu, Tuitavake, Trout leading the charge and imo Pene will be moved on if needed, maybe why he looked much better last week so Saturday will tell us a lot. I believe we couldn’t get the deal on the Half we wanted but expect that person to be here next season replacing Lam

Well it makes a bit of sense now - welcome to Leigh mr Joe Ofahengaue

No Niu or Hanley for Leigh - add to Charnley and the 3/4's are thin

Lets hope Leigh sell the 600 first. If they don't, the best your going to get is 9700 !
Nothing much has budged from yesterday.
East 'I' now sold out, West B has about 100 - so sold 50% of the East tickets reserved for the bigger clubs already -Â singles only in most others. Really poop support from Wire this - having said that they have not travelled well for a decade, just Cup Final Charlies these days

9k should be about right, maybe a bit more.Â
ÂLots of Wire regulars I know watching it on Television.Â
Thats pee poor from Wire again. Imagine only taking 30-50% of what the small neighbour without a train station takes to their place.Â

Manchester Centenarians?1/
Leigh's connection to "Manchester" is merely geographical.
Sort of how Tijuana is two hours from Orange county. There but not there.
Its most famous son - Pete Shelley- could not get out quick enough from a place that its fair to say he wouldnt (cough) have flourished in.Â
Call what you want, but you ain't us and I doubt you can't, don't want to be us.
I can, though see Swinton buying out a crippled Salford.
Swinton and Salford/Salford and Swinton. SaS! erm.
The Devil Lions. Erm erm.Â

Was its most famous son Pete Shelley or Georgie Fame - neither their real names btw. Or Brian Ashton or James Hilton

About 1800 tickets left at Leigh.Â

Have Wire not sold many?

It should exceed 90k. Leigh vs Warrington has been the most underwhelming in terms of promoting the match. Hopefully both clubs pick things up tomorrow. Â
Championship will hopefully exceed 15k, which averages 2.5k per match. Sheffield-Doncaster I can already see being the major let down, but I hope I am wrong about that.
Leigh have been heavily promoting the semi final and Cats away ( Cats away has already sold out Gates 7&8 plus all 650 in Nord, been given standing tickets and fans buying direct fro Cats) Wire tickets look like about 600 still available. So if wire sell the South at just under 2000 we will be close to full if not full

So what do the alleged marquee players e.g. likes of George Williams, Bevan French, Edwin Ipape for example earn in comparison?
Ipape does it for love.

And? He’s still acts like an idiot
Think it’s just how he is, wish he could ignore when they bring him into posts but …….. wears his heart on his sleeve and defends the club and its people when ignoring things would be better. I do feel he has taken on too much at present and needs to step away from SM for a while

My take from what little is out there. Amones agent is the one that really upset the club last year. He had Leutele, Amone, Hardaker,Lam, on his books that I know plus Nicholson at Wire, and moved Gildart/ Tanginoa to kr - the club don’t trust him and won’t deal with him it seems. It also seems that we have an inbound to arrive very soon.

Train stations don’t deliver net zero, we are having cycle lanes built by Ed

Motivated by being part of a global phenomenon the Leps have been approached by Ineos to become a division of Sporting Club Man U and will become the Leps of Man Utd playing out of LSV with 8 other sister divisions.The stadium will be extended with cantilever stands and a 30k capacity, it is believed this will be used to purchase the NRL with the loose change found when the new OT is built.

so the question remains - if the series is 1-1 then why headingley?
You simply don’t get the laws of supply and demand. Taking the potential meaningless fixture or indeed the most important as far as the series is concerned, forcing pre register and having a new iconic stadium easily accessed feeding off the frenzy and selling out day1 of general sale at full price thus leaving the only option as Wembley and months to sell it.!!!

There definitely has been some movement in Wembley tickets today. Hard to tell exactly how much but some of the better blocks are now close to being sold out with a couple already showing as unavailable.
I reckon we should be over 20,000 now.
Wembley will need a push, it’s a very expensive fixture to attend for many. I would do an offer through the London Schools and Soccer clubs as we need 30-40k from outside the heartlands to make this a success.
Many in the North will have targeted Everton as the affordable day out at a time when Magic and the CC finals are being paid for - the demand will have driven sales, Wembley will have a supply bigger than demand unless we can change that, so no rush is the feeling when summer holidays etc are also being saved or paid for.
We can hit 70k but it will be much slower in doing soÂ
