Quote: mat "didnt expect it to with it being on tv. look at it this way if you were entitled to a free ticket but couldnt get one due to limited availability would you then shell out £15 quid or watch it in pub? Only way it would possibly sell out is if fax release any remaining tickets to us to give away and the two teams form picks up a bit in meantime (which they will probably do closer to the date as its better to have people in stadium spending money in bars than unsold space).'"
It's a shame but that's just how it goes in Sport these days.
Ten years ago you would have been lucky to get a ticket, let alone start the bidding on ebay at 99p.
I expect us to take around 3,500 which then leaves Halifax to sell 5,500 tickets which won't happen for the reason you state above.
