Anyone know how ticket allocation for wakey is going to be handled. Is it like a league game where they only have to give us a smallish percentage of capacity ( 20% springs to mind but cant remember correct figure),or because its effectively a cup final do they have to give us 50% of the capacity?.

Nobody even has a clue what the capacity is, (estimates seem to range from 4k to 8k) so good luck with anything more detailed!

Who knows, but it's another reason why they should probably look at a neutral venue for future years. This match should be drawing 10k plus with the amount at stake for both sides.

So what would be the benefit of finishing fourth? Would they get the coin toss?

Exactly, Wakefield have EARNED the right of home advantage by being more consistent in the middle 8's.

Ground capacity expected to be around just under 8k according to SKY. I'd expect there to be a few disappointed fans then

Why should there be any great benefit for finishing 4th?

Have they? Have I been sat in the sun too long and missed a round?!?

If every team had the opportunity to have the same spend on players then perhaps it's a fairer system but at the moment it's just seem like another large obstacle. If Wakey secure 4th spot, they'll have done it by beating 4 Championship sides on a £1M cap. If we beat Fax then we'll have equal points but by beating the 3 other Championship sides and a SL side spending significantly more than we can. Tell me why they're the better performing side in the 8's?

It's not fair. No-one ever said it was fair, the whole promotion system isn't fair, life's not fair when it comes down to it but it's the situation we find ourselves in, so we just have to knuckle down and make the best of it.

If I'm honest, I've complained long and hard, and many times, about the RFL continually changing horses in mid-stream, so I'd be a bit of a hypocrite to say they should change anything now.

Those are the rules for this year and we absolutely have to get on with it and as you say 'knuckle down'. But there is a consultation with clubs to be had after this 1st year and I think some adjustments should be made so why not discuss them here?
