I'm glad you said that.
It's not in my nature.

| If it were at home I'd be delighted, I bet Leeds are cock-a-hoop about the draw. They get the only team with a realistic chance of beating them at home, it's the cup final in the 4th round.
For us it means either a massive step towards winning another cup, or a defeat that means we'll have 4 or so more weeks off more than Leeds, plus no big draining days out in the London heat.
Losing to Leeds in the cup, which is very likely given our slow start, could present our best chance of winning the GF.

Remember we havent really started great too. In reality though the game is a month away and anything could happen in the time being.

| this could be a financial disaster for leeds, they have to pay police, stewards, hospitality staff for a capacity crowd, but cannot sell 1 ticket incase all the season ticket holders turn up! Potentially they could loose tens of thousands of pounds and then get knocked out.

| Probably Saints will take up the Carnegie Terrace, that holds 3k, 7k Saints fans. Then Leeds fans will have the NS, SS and Carnegie Seats.

| Personally i'm pleased with the draw. Get Leeds out of the way early so to speak. I'd rather potentially lose to them at Headingly early than at Wembley. Win and we have a great chance of retaining the cup.
As for tickets, looks like i face the possibility of not even being able to purchase a ticket. Not even the chance!!
I'm sure that it will turn out they cannot give all the tickets to season ticket holders. They will either A) Move to a different stadium B) make the voucher get you half price tickets etc.

| i think it will turn out that the free tickets are only for home matches, otherwise you could've had 7000 saints fans decending on york or similar grounds, it wouldn't work and could be dangerous

2188.jpg you light up my senses.....:2188.jpg |

| I think you will find that we will be given tickets as per norm- probably a few more. Then it will be a case of you either pay for your ticket or exchange your voucher ticket subject to the number of allocated tickets we receive. That way ST holders and people who pay everyweek on the gate get the chance to go which to me is a fair way around it. What do you think?

| Saints fans think they have a problem with tickets.
Barrows capacity is 6,500.
Wigan have around 10,000 season ticket holders.
I guess the powers that be didn't really think this out too well did they.

It's also a problem for Saints.
The Challenge Cup is a split gate after costs have been taken.
So assuming some fans do pay, then that will be taken up by stewarding etc (Heathrington will give you nothing).
So 50% of zero is ermm 0

| Have to feel for Leed's, another year without a trip to Wembley. Never make it as an "elite" club will they, poor folks.
