But why weren' Wigan and Huddersfield full. The RL don't have faith in our fans and can you blame them.
I booked my final tickets before we played New Zealand but how many English fans would have attended if we had been beaten.

but its only just sold out now. Hardly going to be locking many people out when the games tomorrow. Anyone who does want to go and now cant maybe shouldnt wait untill the day of the game to buy a ticket.

Some people just love to complain at anything.

So they never intended to sell 40,000 even if the demand was there?

oh great, the final is going to look with top tier section empty,yeah let other fans from other codes laugh at us!

After a fairly strong start regarding his attitude to international football, Richard Lewis appears to have gone into his shell with this tournament.

The choice of grounds has been, frankly, embarrassing and this news regarding the stadium not being capable of being sold out is pure farce.

Added to that is the fact England/GB have a shocking record at Elland Road for deciding games of all types and you really have to wonder who at the RFL has any idea of the game's history...

if england were going to reach the final against australia it was obviuosly going to be a big crowd. this situation was known 7 days ago so why didnt the rfl / elland road and the poilice have plans in place to open up the top tier of the east stand if this situation arose.. 31000 for australia v new zealand etc but if it was going to be england in the final plans should have been put in place.

the rfl shoots itself in the foot again, the sceptical viewing public/ potential new fans will be watching game on tv and the main stand you will be viewing will be half empty great advert for the game

What gets me mad is the fact that at Manchester, there is a brand new stadium built with public money, and the RFL are refused access to it.
The stadium is now the home of Man City, millions of tax payers money was poured into building it, the brief was when the Com/games where over it would be used as a football and rugby ground.
Since then it as been aquired by Man City, or should I say given to Man City, the Rugby League should have a number of days a year access to this stadium.

You lot make me laugh with all your ranting and raving as if you don't realiseThere are costs associated with opening the top tier and a decision would have to be made about spending actual (money in the hand) profit against the risk of recovering and exceeding those costs

The RFL has two other partners in the 4 nations who presumably would have a say in making the decision[/list

Totally agree. And its easily the best stadium in the north west. The RFL dont realise that its not just the match that sells tickets, its the venue.

I still don't know if I could make it - I probably could but can't risk the money - but it would have nice to have had the opportunity.

anybody elses tickets not arrived?????????, ive not had any access to the internet since tuesday when i booekd the tickets, just found out now the ticketline is closed so i suppose its my own fault but youd expect them to be able to send them out to you within 3 days.

There are 5,000 to be collected today from Elland road. Give them a ring to see if you're one of them
