Very disapointing if Leeds dont sell out there allocation and not sure what it says about the Challenge Cup. Getting to Wembley not mean that much these days or is it more of not believing the team will win.

It's a combination of a poor season, several finals in a row (IIRC including this one it will 9 finals plus 4 WCC's since 2003), money being tight, last year's poor performance in the final & Wigan looking so strong. Understandably this will lead people to think whether the cost is worth it, especially those with families.

Leeds will take a decent amount though, just not as large as it has been in the past.

The four nations Double Header will be a factor too. I will be going to both the cup final and the double header, but if i only had money for one i would be watching the cup final on the BBC.

Yep, don't question peoples integrity when you don't know them.



Fair point, didn't think of it like that. Still reckon it will be a big crowd on though. Is there a ticket counter anywhere like they have on some sites? I know the Wigan fans have one you can check.

The lack of a child's concession price doesn't help. The cheapest tickets available for myself,wife and Kids (5yo) and (3yo) was £84. Luckily I got 5 (£41) tickets off the bidding site for around £60

Good point - it's a pity, because we've potentially got a decent game here.

Yep, same here. I'm fortunate enough to be able to afford both this year (I'm taking a wild guess that Leeds won't be in the Grand Final this year so can spend some of that money on the internationals

I bet Red Hall are wishing Cas would have got there...or Wakefield,Salford,Bradford, The Hull clubs etc.

If Leeds don't sell out it is a poor showing,shatter any myth you need the "big" clubs at Wembley to sell out.

Warrington sold out when they got there because they hadn't been for years (not saying this is the only reason)

Hull KR would be similar. Hull don't get to these games often but have just as many fans as the big clubs.

Leeds fans have probably become lazy going to Old Trafford so many years and Wembley last year, it doesn't help that they are outsiders as well though.

Leeds fans are tighter than a nat's chuff. They dont go to C Cup games in any numbers at any stage.

Teehehee
You know each and every one of us do ya ?
'Tighter than a Gnat's chuff' ? What is a 'nat' ?
I find it rather offensive when people make assumptions about any
team's supporters . All the Rhinos fans are not whiners . The Cas fans don't all have twelve fingers . The Wigan crowd probably don't actually eat that many pies . KR and Cru players are not all antipodeans .

We are exactly the same as any other team's fans . Our attendance is ruled by our finances . This month has been a heavy one for us .; Doncaster . home . Quins away , Wembley .

I missed Doncaster , but attended the home game V Cas . I am going to the Stoop and Wembley . A lot of money to spend in one month .

Will you spend as much following your team this month ? Or are you a lightweight ?

Fkin muppet .

Rant over .

Explain why Leeds fans don't even turn up to home cc games in any numbers either? Wigan wire and hull all support the cc games better than Leeds. Why? Cos you're all tighter than a Gducks .

A previous poster has hit the nail on the head pretty much. I know season ticket holders who aren't going, purely because there's no novelty behind it for us anymore with what happened last year. Awful excuse for not going, but you can understand it, we've been in that many finals lately, they've lost their novelty, and people aren't willing to spend the money.

Brian McDermott doing his best to alienate half of the fanbase won't have helped either!
