| Hmmm, not sure about this. I think we would have struggled to get above maybe 15/16k at Huddersfield but at least every Leeds Season Ticket Holder would have the opportunity to purchase a ticket.
As this is, 3k + Leeds season tickets holders will be potentially disappointed and I really can't see any tickets at all going on general sale from Leeds and and Cas will sell 4k easily.
I also feel a little bit for the Cas fans. They will be outnumbered nearly 2 to 1 because the tickets have obviously been split based on season ticket/members at each club, which while being the only fair way, if they had gone for the Galpharm this would have not been an issue!
As for Saint v Wigan at HJ then that does seem very stupid! They could have gone for Reebok and released the tickets for the lower tiers first and then gone to fill the upper tiers as required.

Leeds 7,000 Cas 6,000 not quite 2 to 1
Should have been at Galpharm though.

2,000 empty seats seems a bit excessive as I thought it was 15k+ capacity

| The capacity at the Keepmoat is said to be 15,231.
I seriously suspect that will be plenty big enough for this game. If the RFL are really lucky it will sell-out but that is far from a given.

Reebok wasn't an option apparently, Bolton have a friendly on the Friday and didn't want two games played there on that weekend.

| Tthink the prices are a bit steep as well. Especially if you get to Wembley, how much will that cost the family in space of a month.

No idea. Then again I don't give a f*** - they can buy their own tickets

Prices for the bottom 2 bands are on a par with a normal league game be it at Cas or Leeds so I think it's reasonable.

Quote: Andy Gilder "Well done to the RFL for ensuring both sets of supporters have awkward journeys to a small ground (capacity 15,300) with limited parking (around 1,000 spaces).
Oh, and if you're thinking of going by train put your walking shoes on, it's a good three miles out of the town centre IIRC.'"
There's apparently a shuttle bus for DRFC games. I imagine that something similar will be running on the day of this game: www.footballgroundguide.com/donc ... By%20Train
Like others, I don't believe that £20 or so is excessive for a semi final. It was £22 for yesterday's quarter final and the price is comparable with most league games.

You probably will going to Doncaster. We went to watch England v Australia (I think it was) and it took an eternity to get away.
I'd have preferred Huddersfield myself - but then I wasn't consulted.

Could the 2,000 be hospitality plus any sold directly by the RFL?
EDIT
