Granted, some will blindly pay it to support their club but it doesn’t make it right. Fair point. I suppose best thing is to pick and choose what to see live and make the most when doing it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't afford it, fair enough. But don't go whinging about the price just because you can't afford it. Just don't go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AB Knight Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 This was the end terrace at Odsal 2 months ago, doesn't look like it's been maintained in any way and I assume the cost of getting it ready for the tie wouldn't be beneficial. Happy to be proved wrong though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top of that end is a walkway round between the turnstiles at that end round towards the seated stand so the toilets and turnstiles are likely to be open anyway.

A couple of decent power washers would have that all nice and whiney for the Leeds faithful I actually put ' shiney ' but the auto text is probably more accurate , so I thought I'd leave it in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konkrete Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Odsal might not be the most modern stadiums but it's perfectly serviceable for the average fan. Today I went and got in within a few seconds, had a slash at one of the many toilets. Washed and dried my hands (not possible at some SL grounds). Selected my bar of choice and bought a drink. I then stood in the sunshine and watched the game from an excellent vantage point. £18 for a cup game is absolutely fine. There are loads of neutrals complaining about the price on this thread. Didn't realise so many were thinking of coming. Forever in our shadow, forever on your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blame BBC all you want for televising the game but given the option of sitting at home and watching it from the comfort of your sofa or spending £23 (before travel, food, parking etc), people are staying at home and rightly so. It's free to get in. It's £23 to get out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickyf1 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Bradford opened the area behind the sticks this year for 1 game as the other part of the ground had ice on it. So that would suggest it's safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OC is just another one who loves to moan and complain. I'd go if it was on a sat but not on a fri,I'd go if it ko at 7.30 but not 8.00,I'd go to Newcastle for MW but not Liverpool,or visa versa. You pay £50 to go to the theatre in Leeds,£20 for a 15 min taxi,£25 to watch a comedy act in a pub etc,etc.No doubt OC will watch the game,eating his noodles with the lights off,in case the tv licensing people knock on his door. I still think 6/7,000 would be a good crowd for a cup game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feverly Hills 90210 Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Pr-purchase £23 plus £5 to sit down numerous walkie talkie messages because no one new how to open a barrier so i could get down the slope because i can't manage the steps. One disabled toilet in a bar which was wet through i was like Bambi on ice trying to get the toilet. Second time for the cup game nothing changed just cheaper. i have a horrible feeling we will draw Bradford away in this silly cup.i will still go because i follow my team and Rugby League is the best game in the world in my opinion.But some clubs need to improve their stadiums if they want to charge top prices and not sit back hoping someone will help them out with a freebie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
