Seems the club are struggling even to sell out the game even with a reduced capacity

Its gona sell out.

There was over 13k for the Salford game.

I got a text this morning saying seats available in the north stand unlike Salford ST holders have to pay top $

Has the Carnegie Terrace sold out? If so I would expect the seats to follow in the next couple of days.

Hull have sold out our initial allocation and a further batch goes on sale in the morning.

Hull were given an initial allocation of 2000 and will be given a max extra 1000 as far as I am led to believe. Carnegie standing has more or less sold out, IMO it will sell out and it will be 3/4 Leeds 1/4 hull as Hetherington has expected it to be in his recent media.

A leeds fan complaining about a ref missing a forward pass is perhaps the most ironic thing I've ever read on these boards

We'll it's to be hoped he has also shelled out for an adequate police presence and extra stewards for when it kicks off if Hull are being beaten. The pints being thrown on the pitch and fighting on the Western Terrace at a recent Leeds v Hull play off could look quite tame to the potential trouble Friday may bring.

Never ceases to amaze and amuse me how some fans think only certain clubs get away with forward passes...funny that it's usually the likes of Leeds when they're winning/dominant that happen to also "get away with" all the forward passes. Amazing how you can get so many titles off the back of forward passes

I have a counter theory...maybe something to do with winning teams scoring more tries...

Agree Omar. Its a factoid probably based on one or two instances that may or may not have been right, and has mutated into some people thinking that Leeds' success over an entire decade was down to a gameplan based on deliberate forward passes.

We got some undoubted luck in GFs (Lee Smith offside and a few others) but our gameplan never relied on being so flat in attack that anyone could seriously claim we were lucky in forward pass rulings.

Yeahyeah that's it yeah. Pay for a ST all year then when we get a home semi don't go. Don't pay the similar price you've paid all year again for your ticket. Yeah yeah. That's right.

Exactly Bang. But, I’m sure we will sell our allocation for Old Trafford if we are there.

Didn't you win it from 5th one year ?? You weren't best in league position, but I thought you were the real deal that year. You targeted the GF and were worthy winners. When it really mattered you were better than the rest of the top boys.that's all you needed to do to be classed as best.
So what's changed ??

It will be interesting to see the line up for Fridays game. Hull will present a big challenge and we will have to be at our very best to get a result. But with Mags and Burrow making their last appearances for Leeds at Headingley it will be an emotional evening.

There is a good argument to start Burrow in the halves, with Moon back at centre, as Rob is bound to want to go out on a high. This would also allow us to bring in Walker on to the bench as I assume Golding will start after his impressive last two performances. However I think he will select Moon at 6 and Sutty at 4 with Garbutt, Mullally, Keinhorst/Ferris, & Burrow on the bench
