It's because there wasn't a show in Halifax this week where we could distribute 2500 tickets to add to the gate. Also now the season is over (hence why Barlow could play, new competition you see, lol), it doesn't matter about average gates so we can give accurate figures.

We might get to the same level you know.

we only qualified for the final 24 hours ago so it might take us a couple days to get to that level.

i have been informed that Fax are getting there first batch tommorow and will be on sale from tommorow.

we will sell that first batch with ease and will also require another batch.

the atmosphere will be great though, looking forward to it

How funny that the Eagle fans tries to laugh at Fax for a crowd when the Eagles struggle to get anywhere near 1000 fans for a game. Whan they do get a club like Fax who have a large away following the Eagles club cant cope and make a right mess of the situation. Eagles fans seem to be like Aston-full of crap. Go and cry in your beer Eagle fans your season is over

To be honest it's irrelevent how many supporters either team take. it's what happens on the pitch that counts.
Ticket sales are going well as you would expect for a final but neither team benefit financially whether there are 10000 supporters from each club or 10 because the gate money goes into the RFL and not to the clubs.
I just hope that fans of both clubs have a good time and get behind their team to create a fantastic atmosphere and whatever the result respect each other before during and after the game.

I agree with Fax4life's comments, I perposely didn't order my Old Trafford tix for this season's SL GF, working on the assumption that we had a very good chance of raching our own GF again and not really fancying forking out for both GF's in the same pay bracket.
So, instead of driving a car full this year to Warrington, I intend going on a bus & having a day on the beers which I would normally do at the SL premiere event, which quite honestly has become a bit stale I.M.O. as a paying spectator. Maybe if two different sides got there it would be a little different, but the trip I usually go on ( amateur club trip ) has been sat with the poor losing Saints fans and there's been crowd trouble in our section in the upper tier of the Stretford end for the last two years, and lot's of it. Not exactly something you want when you're on a trip with loads of juniors in your party.
I hope this year's GF at Warrington is as good an occassion as last year and they order more beer & food to be able to keep their outlets open for the whole of the event, people pay good money to get to these events and were prepared to spend even more had they been able to last season.
For anyone who didn't go, or drive last season, the car parking situation is pathetic at the Halliwell Jones stadium, that's another reason why bus travel is looking favourite at the moment.
I hope to meet up with my mate from Fev, them lads do love to shovel the ale down their necks !

Talk about thread drift.
