It’s on the radar for next season though when the fixtures come out. Slightly off topic but if you have any more fixtures in Ebbsfleet I can certainly recommend it. The train journey was like being on a plane! We took a detour to Gravesend had beer and food then back to Northfleet which was a slightly shorter walk. For fans travelling from the north it’s an easy journey from Kings Cross. Didn't do those games personally.....too far for me ...for the same travelling time I can see a SL game!

Death to the Rah Rah's Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 I'll be very surprised if they can hit 15k - Greece were never going to be a big draw so why take them to a ground with such a large capacity unless they were going to flood the area with cheap almost giveaway tickets in an attempt to raise the profile of the game in a non-traditional RL area.

The Greece game was always going to be the game with the least interest, so why on earth would you take it to a ground with such a large capacity unless you were going to flood the area with cheaper tickets to introduce new supporters to the game, not to mention its a footballing city, its a Saturday and both Wednesday and United have games that day !! This was probably the one game that you would take to a heartlands club with a 15-20k capacity due to its low appeal ! Who makes these decisions !

Welshleaguelover Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 I'd expect the crowd to be pretty small for the England game. Maybe 15ishk The blades only sell out for the biggest games. Hopefully the small rugby league community in Sheffield will come out and support the game, bring the kids and have a great day. Bramall Lane is a great ground, apart from the miserable stewards at blades games. You can get off the train and be there in 5 minutes walk. Loads of pubs and food in and around London road on match days. I love Sheffield. Shame about them pigs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
latchford albion Posted October 25, 2022 Share Posted October 25, 2022 There wasn't massive availability when I booked my tickets at the weekend. Does that mean that not all sections are open or will we have a larger crowd than some expect? Virtually all the most expensive tickets had been sold. 1 1 "I'm a traditionalist and I don"t think you'd ever see me coaching an Australian national side!"
