The date for the re-arranged Leigh game is more acceptable to both clubs. Leigh are at home to Toulouse, on the previous Saturday, and 'Fax away to Sheffield, on the Sunday.

Mind you, as a programme editor, I'm not too chuffed about having to do two programmes in five days!!

Thursday

Its all in the message above

I'm from Leigh - you can't expect me to read so much in one go! So, you do get the advantage, eh? I thought you lot might have taken a little pity on us?



I'll be getting in touch, to remind you about the article, for that game!! (if you still want to do it?)

Not a problem, Just let me know when you want it for

Many thanks - I appreciate your offer. I'll get in touch a little nearer the time, when we've discussed the deadlines for the two home games.

well i did post it in bits on threads before this was posted but threads locked.
i thought it would have been easier thats why did it.

I stopped reading at this bit "This is our first proper semi final for many years"

Should we be fortunate enough to get to the final (not counting any chickens) I understand that the club will be allocated 2000 tickets, but how many are they likely to allocate for each season ticket holder.

I am a season ticket holder, but will need 3 tickets, the extra 2 being for people who come with me regularly and pay on the gate.

Did this info come via the mailing list?

yes.

And i agree greg, apparently 2007 didn't happen.

That will be because they need to accomodate the 1,000's of Championship fans that will be attending the NRC final as part of the ' magic ' NRC 9's competition

Which reminds me, was that you on the wireless yesterday?

Yorkshire Radio? That would be yes

Hope the club issues a statement asap, i am in the same boat

Chances are if the ST allocation goes quickly you'll still be able to pick up tickets direct from the RL but I know what you mean, it would be nice to know what the ST limitation will be, I'll be wanting tickets for 3-4 adults and 2 kiddies myself.

without wanting to sound blunt, whilst acknowledging people are merely being pragmatic, lest we count our chickens prematurely... This is the sort of talk that will see us humbled in the semi, surely?

Let us do our best in the semi against a good widnes team and if we win, worry about tickets in the three weeks between the semi and the final.

Agreed.

Or why not buy a ticket for the 9s as you only have to upgrade it for the final and if we don`t get to the final we will be in the 9s anyway.

Also, lets say it's us and Barrow in the final. Do you really think (along with the nines) that we'll fill the stadium? There'll be plenty of re-allocated/unsold tickets coming to the clubs when the date nears.

Having been to the last few NRC finals in Blackpool I can assure you there'll be no problem in getting however many tickets you want. It won't matter which two teams get to the final, it won't be anywhere near a sell out.

It wasn't last year when Salford went, and they were getting much bigger home gates anyway

But they were playing Doncaster in the final

I would expect yourselves and Barrow to take a good 6,000 to a final at Bloomfield rd

The RFL will be hoping the clubs competeing in the 9 's to take a few hundred each

Barmy

Well we aint shifted our couple of hundred tickets for the 9s yet, Dunno how other clubs are doing but the take up doesnt look to be massive.

Im not sure what the Woodlands Ground capacity is, but the most they've ever had in there in recent years is 5000.

Ant that would leave just short of 4000 spare seats.
