Hmmm...

Id have prefered the upper tier personally. Im in row 2 right now as thats the only place they had 2 seats together.

Isn't there usually a lot of moaning about empty seating in televised games on these forums? Aren't they just addressing that?

Assuming the attendance is similar to those TVOc has pointed out a few eeks hence does it matter what order they sell the tickets in? Isn't this, for once, clever marketing, artificially limiting supply?

If someone was desperate for tickets in a particular stand they should have bought earlier.

seems like some were desperate for the top tier but only allowed the bottom tier

When you go to the supermarket, do you just pick the first item on the shelf? or do look behind them for the ones with the furthest from out of date?

I would be pretty pished off if the supermarket refused to serve me the ones behind just because they want to get rid of the older ones first.

Unfortunately, I am unable to go to the semi as flying that day for vacation. But glad I dont have to mess around with the musical chairs farce it appears the RFL are putting people through.

Yes and No!

I just think closing the whole of the single tier large West Stand as opposed to what they have previously done, closing the Upper East and Upper North tiers, is just depriving the fans of choice of the better places to sit to watch Rugby League LIVE in favour of making the place look full, one assumes for the wider non RL media and public. They are forcing people to sit in them god damn awful upper tier seats along the Eastern touch line instead of the better seats along the Western touch line. The people that wait or even pay on the day might now get the seats that all those people now forced to sit in the gods would have preferred in the first place had they had a choice!

In the two previous fixtures we have had crowds just short of 20k, which only leaves 4500 empty seats, must of which would be in the upper East stand, the ground is 4/5th's full, what is wrong with that?

No the supermarket only puts out on the shelves the stuff it wants to sell, if it has plenty of lettuce it will keep the fresher stuff back as then it has more chance of selling the older stuff before it has to start discounting it.

You need to stop going to the cheap scandinavian ones.

Not in my supermarket. The older stuff to the front the newer to the back, that's the way it's done.

Well fingers crossed this get's sorted out

Fruit and Veg?

What about your filling processed foods, your yoghurts, deserts, pizzas?

The woeful RFL ticketing website is showing the FM Upper as being "on sale".

Only the Kilner Bank is greyed out.

Arghh, you mean either down the touch line side, albeit only one of the touch lines at the moment, and both ends... yes, ok, see what you mean!

I think I got my East & West mixed up BTW but according to Wiki the single tier East stand, the Kelner Bank stand, has a capacity of 'over 7000' which means that if we come close to matching the previous 20k crowds then they will have to open this stand at some point as they are going to be at least 2500 seats short if they don't open it.

It does look like they have now opened the upper tier of the Fantastic Media stand now but you can only get your tickets from Leeds for this stand.

I only have one question to ask in all this, is the Media Stand really Fantastic?
