I think your season ticket allows for you to get £5 tickets for friends

I'm guessing there are about 30,000 individuals who go to Headingley in any given season. About 10k ST holders and 20k going to between 1 and 12 games a season seems about right??? If you can get just 2/3rds of them in for the Cas game and say 5k curious people and those in on their mates' £5 vouchers, you'd only need 5k from Cas to get 30k. Easily achievable. Think the Thursday V KR will be a tough sell though and could undercut the potential of the Cas gate

Obviously it was a coomplete fantasy the SS and a temporary stand plonked on a building site would be up and running by Feb.

Season tickets probably slow. So the club announces games at a proper stadium rather than a building site nobody know what will look like.

For me its more to do with what Headingley will look like in Feb/Mar/Apr I for one will not be spending money to stand in a buidling site with no facilties. Now I would pay to got to ER until at least one side of the ground is up and tested.

Both games are almost certainly going to be on Sky, that'll make getting a high attendance tougher. It's not like ER is some brand new stadium like the Olympic Stadium that people are quite keen to see.

As the article earlier said...,."As owners of Elland Road, Leeds United know, as we do ourselves, how it is important to generate income from the stadium by hosting a variety of events"......so they won't be letting us use it for free.

We should have played this season at Elland Road. It's fantastic. And now we own it I doubt Radrizzani would have charged us much, if at all?

With some effort Leeds - are you cannot really knock the commercial efforts at Leeds - couldn't sell out Headingley - are you seriously suggesting that the attraction of Elland Rd will double the crowd - really?

Elland Rd for the most part is similar to Headingley - one new stand and three decrepit sides. It is a disgrace for a club the "supposed" size of Leeds and the embarrassment to the city.

Ah god I love it. Its the best. But I would say that wouldn't I.

It's obviously an ingenious/sneaky* ruse by GH to prevent Cas stuffing you at Headingley every season.

* delete as appropriate.

The only sneaky ruse was continuing to let you stuff us at Headingley so we could school you in the Final.

You lot can be so hurtful.

You can knock the commercial efforts of Leeds. They arent brilliant. In fact they arent even to the level of say a decade ago.

The maths changes at Elland Road. Not only do we need less revenue per ticket, but we can also spend more on selling each ticket. Such is the different scale.

I dont think the attraction of Elland Road will attract anyone, its capacity will allow us to attract plenty.

I think the uniqueness of playing there will attract a good few. Playing on the south of the river will also put some off.

Yup I'll go to the two games but a full season there and I wouldn't have got a season ticket. It's a crap ground in totally the wrong location which would be two thirds empty for us. Widnes or Salford there would be horrendous.

If you'd had Paul Deacon playing for you in that GF you wouldn't have lost
