How was it a poor attendance it was 85% full or were you hoping for 23000 in a 14000 capacity ground

Think before you touch the board in front of you

Disappionting that the top tier wont be open. This game could have come close to a sell out.

Well it doesnt hold 14,000 and even if it did it should have sold out.

Got mine a couple of weeks ago. After the positivity surrounding recent performances I would be amazed if it doesnt sell out.

As stated on the previous thread about this, the majority of empty seats were ones reserved by the RFL for sponsors who didn't bother to turn up.

Well, it does hold 14,000, was on live terrestrial tv and was a foregone cinclusion, so I think 12,000+ was a great crowd.

It was around 10,400 not 12,000+. Anything less then a total sell out was not great. Anyway thats in the past, hoping this sells out very quick. Is the second tier deffinately not being opened?

Just got 6 together in the east stand but took ages going through all the blocks to find them.

It would seem pretty close to being full already and if they dint do something to get that top tier opened they're dafter then I first feared.

If the 32,000 or so all sells out fairly early then they have to open the top tier. There is absolutely no point in booking a 40,000 seater stadium if you have no intention of opening a tier if it is needed and thus reducing it to 32,000. We sold out all of Elland Road in 2004 when we were battered by Australia and, especially after the last 2 performances and positivity around this current England team, there is no reason why it cant be done again. It really is simple, if we sell out 32,000 then open it, if we dont then dont.

So you know the cost implications and Health and Safety regulations do you? As usual,people talking with absolute no knowledge of the facts.

A small number of decent seats available on the LUFC website [url=http://www.lufc.talent-sport.co.uk/PagesPublic/ProductBrowse/standAndAreaSelection.aspx?stadium=ER&product=FNF11&campaign=&type=Hhere[/url

I don't think Leeds United have a valid safety certificate for the top tier, as the expense of getting it and opening the section would not be worthwhile for them over the course of the season, it wasn't open when they played Man Utd in the cup the other week.
