More and more are fans of their club and little else now after a pretty naff few years of general malaise. If their aren't enough RL enthusiasts or enthusiasts of the two cup final teams to fill Wembley, that isn't the fault of fans who do at least still go watch their club. Ha I'm the opposite. I think the game as a whole is fascinating and I just can't 'gel' with the Giants whom I used to follow for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a graph somewhere that paints the clear relationship between a decrease in meyt and prater and increase in those awful Pukka pies the further you travel south. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over centuries, lots of Northerners have moved south in search of fame and fortune, but somehow have not taken their cuisine with them, or at least only as far as Melton Mowbray. I'm interested in that drive, that rush to judgment, that is so prevalent in our society. We all know that pleasurable rush that comes from condemning, and in the short term it's quite a satisfying thing to do, isn't it? J. K.

Championi Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Had to chuckle batley official club site. 25 quid cheaper on coach and its 10 mins away. Fair play the more the merrier. As my old boy who is coming used to say when I asked about attendance well son there will be me and thee. Oh and the wife is coming so 3 at the least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the lack of certain marketing that the RFL regularly use suggests that they may have done what they hoped (although I'd argue sellout is the aim). But, who knows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spidey Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 There only seems to be 20 or so blocks with tickets on sale and they are spread out around the ground, so maybe it will be a decent number.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hudds allocation is selling every other row as it the RFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawkMan Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) If it is 55k then great, it means people have read all the stuff on the forum about pitch lengths, Coach parking, and substandard train service and concluded that they were reading a load of billhooks. Edited May 23 by HawkMan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the lack of certain marketing that the RFL regularly use suggests that they may have done what they hoped (although I'd argue sellout is the aim). But, who knows. Yeah I think that's it with this every other row strategy that seems popular with RL events - are areas actually sold out or every other row sold, waiting for other areas to sell until they're released? You'd hope at this point all remaining available were on sale, but I just have doubts that is the case. As always i'll go with an optimistic figure of 54k come match day - realistically I think it'll be closer to 48k - which won't look ridiculous in a 62k stadium but nonetheless disappointing it won't be a sell out.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lad I go to Fev with is a Town fan. He reckons there are "hundreds" of Town fans buying tickets for the challenge cup and making a weekend of it.
