Have i missed a game thread on tomorrow's game?

[Tommygilf]

Going to be an interesting crowd this.

LUFC have a sell out against Barnsley at Elland Road (which 4 of us are going to) tomorrow too.

Will give me something to watch tomorrow night on my last night in Lloret before I fly back for Salford-'Ull on Thursday.

[Father Ted]

Leeds by 12

 

[meast]

Giants by 12 , although Leeds probably in better form.

Hope it doesn't rain too much!!

Kids day so might balance out 

Surprised they sold out the Cariboa cup game by the way

£15 tickets. They did it last year too for this round of the Carabao Cup against Crewe.

There is huge latent demand for LUFC tickets, a max capacity 29,000 crowd (one of the ends was closed for maintainance) saw LUFC play Serie B Cagliari in Pre-season a few weeks ago. For most non-members/Season ticket holders, these might be the only games you can see LUFC live this season; so people are willing to make the effort on a weekday night. Add to that the pricing is such that the likes of my mum are going and there's your sell out of home tickets for a second round league cup game against League 1 opposition.

I think in the League Cup, like the FA Cup, you have to make more tickets available for away fans than in the league as well so if, say, you have a reasonably local team looking for a bit of a giant killing then that's a pretty easy sell too.

My new metric for ticket prices though is: "Cheap enough for Tommy's mum."

Now now!

You're right about allocations, though that is tempered by lower league clubs bringing less fans generally.

Actually I think we'll see an interesting thing tonight, especially with the £5 kids offer at Headingley, of Grandparents and kids at Headingley.

Two of the best teams in the world collide. 

16-14 Leeds 

Watson to cry at something.

LUFC, will likely not get to another competitive game for another year - just like exactly a year ago

It's a shame sky strikes again.

Should be a tight game but think the Giants will prevail. Our run has to end sometime and couldn't think of a better team to lose to. Giants by 12.

You’ll be fine if you are going meast, it’s a state of the art stadium with two fantastic new stands. 

[SalfordSlim]

Hudds win tonight followed by wins for Wire & Salford tomorrow will do me just fine.

Apart from the away end where Meast is likely to be stood.

Tbf I'm not even sure this was Sky? Considering we're travelling to Catalans Monday I wouldn't be surprised if Leeds were glad of the timings.

No, I missed it! 

Games on a Wednesday shouldn't be allowed!! They catch me unawares. 

I've added a poll and pinned this thread.

Thanks for starting it.
