Three weeks in advance. If you told me this even a year ago I wouldn't have believed it. Fun times!

Presumably Leeds still have tickets left, but you’d hope they’d shift most of their allocation if that week comes down to play off qualification?

Disillusioned with Rugby League because Fev are unlikely to be in SL?

Ultimately, UK RL cannot prosper until going to a game is considered an enjoyable and affordable experience. Regardless of divisional structures, play-off systems, team form, etc.

Biggest obstacle is crowd traditions more equipped for anger-management than pleasure. Anger with officials, players, coach, board, whoever avails. Seething subsides, replaced by disillusion.

Not just Featherstone  have  you actually seen most attendances across RL ? Only to look at the cup final.

Hull KR getting full attendances, superb results, ultra positive vibe about the club 

Are you sure they are a RL team?

You’ve just described football, where the anger and bile is far in excess of any rugby league game.

Yes we'll have given Leeds 800 usually, I'm sure they'll sell them. That parts outside our control eh.

Doesn't hurt English Soccer nowadays.

Forty years ago, different story. Anger and bile amidst falling crowds is a downward spiral.

Looking good for Friday:

 

[Adelaide Tiger]

Just saw a post on Facebook re Cas v Leigh on Friday.  It states that there are 2,500 tickets left for sale.  Don’t know if that includes any unsold tickets allocated to Leigh.  But if correct it means around 8,000 tickets have been sold.

Hopefully that will get Cas over the 7,500 average for the 3 year period but as there has been so many different figures posted about what Cas need from Fridays attendance it might be squeaky bum time!

The club also had a ‘ticket donation’ promotion where people could buy either 3 for £30 or 5 for £50 and donate them to local charities for other people to attend.  Apparently over 200 have been purchased and donated.

Their ground is terrible and the other Hull club are in massive decline.

Absolute male genitals.

The ground holds 9300 and there's NO way it was almost half full !!!!

They are just telling pork pies to gain IMG points, a bit like Bradford.

Do you really think it’s that simple to bypass the gradings.

Their ground is better than some I've been to! And in fairness that east stand being right under he camera and always jam packed means their home games probably look the best of any ground on telly

I know (think) Eddie was in bantz mode but the best atmosphere is always to be found at the 10-15k grounds that have some standing. I always think the best set-ups for stands for SL clubs are paddock at front with seating behind.

Yep, that’s what I put on the Facebook post.

Bigger crowd figures means more points so yes it will surely help

English Soccer now is just greed and narrow mindness alongside the same names winning.

I've only been to HKR once, but I think it is a cracking ground, full of atmosphere. Better then most of the other soul-less stadia in Super League.

Doesn't contradict @unapologetic pedant that it's not doing football any harm. 92% ticket take up in Prem, Billions of pounds a year coming in, new promoted teams down the divisions getting fans engaged, such as Ipswich back in the top tier. Fans of any sport vote with their feet, football fans by and large are satisfied,  obviously there are areas of dissatisfaction such as too many games, Premier not distributing monies fairly,  but basically a healthy situation. Judging by this forum RL fans love the product but are dissatisfied with everything else pretty much.

Anyway RL fan calling football narrow minded is a bit like the pot calling kettle black,  M62 and all that.

It's boring now and has been for me for 30 years and lets not forget in England wqe support and started 3 other codes( Cricket, Rugby Union and League).

I just like to see something exciting happen to Rugby League in this country and that's the same with Union and both codes need to target the next generation both Football swallows them all up too.

RL is no different, the sums are just smaller.

Yes I was and I agree, I love the televised games at Craven Park, and also Cas and now Leigh. Wigan for example may have thousands more in but it always seems a bit dead, as does Warrington these days.

Agreed, I was just trying to find something negative to say, as it’s rugby league.
