Man of Kent Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Quite well, apparently. Won’t be a record-breaker but not a disaster either. See the ‘Who’s going to the GF?’ thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Willow Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 no real rivalry between the sides, nor any real history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chisholm Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Go to the official website for tickets and it showing more or less sold out. I can't see that being correct but it may just turn away a few neutrals who wish to see the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris22 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I imagine it will be a decent if not spectacular crowd. The good thing about Old Trafford, it's less open design hides empty seats better than say Wembley. There were 10,000 empty seats at the Grand Final last year, but it looked packed out.

Yep, the empty seats will hopefully be up in the Gods as usual and it is normally very dark up there and cant really be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red69 Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 How many tickets does each club usually sell fir the grand final? How many are Sts expecting to bring 15k? Salford have sold over 7k through the club and a further 3-4k through the RFL so far. I expect to see around 12k from Salford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celtic Roosters Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 No comparison to premier league football at all. The City of Salford has its own football team and they play in League 2. The highest placed football clubs in St. Helens play in the Hallmark Security North West Counties League and they have not encountered each other for quite a few years now.

Sir Kevin Sinfield Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 7 hours ago, Rob said: This is not strictly true, the last 4 rows on the 2nd tier for example have not gone on sale and unsold tickets will still be returned from Saints and Salford. But it looks like a reasonable crowd, it isn’t far to travel for anyone jumping on the Salford bandwagon which will help. I will have a stab at 58,000.

Guest Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 Hopefully it is enough to cover the additional costs SL have put upon the game to simply replicate what seems to be pretty much what the RFL did anyway. That is the best we can hope. Rob needs that salary paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything 60,000+ would be a good crowd I feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Eel Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 I would pretty confidently predict we are already over 60k. Looking forward to a fantastic occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
