Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that, a little ironic to say the least. |

The RFL/Blackpool set a crowd limit of 9K, both clubs sold out their allocation of tickets and for some reason known only to the RFL they (thats the RFL) held back 1000 tickets then told anyone who rang on Friday or Saturday that they could 'pay on the door' certainly if Leigh (I can't speak for Halifax) had been allowed to sell tickets past the deadline for clubs (the RFL stipulated The morning of last Wed therefore to get the tickets back on time Leigh HAD to post them back by Mon evening) then we would have sold another 300 tickets at least.'"
from a halifax perspective they were saying the same thing exactly, and the RFL ticket hotline was not working |

| Strange thread to say the least. We can all sit around our keyboards having a go at each others gates, and it would be too easy to do so. So why do it? Look at the positives for a change.
To me it was all positives for a competition that is growing year on year and is starting to be an accepted worth while trophy to win at our level. Its still in its infancy as a competition, and together with the format of being staged in Blackpoo and the enthusiasm of those RL fans that went and the seriousness the clubs take this competition is becoming an event we now look forward to each year.
Excellent win by the mighty Leythers as well!!!!  Sorry Fax fans, had to be said. |

Take a look at who started the thread.
Morons shouldn't be humoured.
Great game, great atmosphere - a bigger crowd would have been nice, but I'd call the final a great success.

True.
Oh yes, I agree with the rest of your points too. |

Needs to remain at Blackpool, if at a rugby ground Salford or any other fans would just turn up for the game, plenty went for the weekend and those who went for the day went early, there was a cracking friendly atmosphere all day, which was a credit to both Leigh and Fax fans. |

| Quote: Huddersfield1895 "The negative is that only 8,500 turned to watch a cup final between 2 heartland sides with asperations to play in super league.
The positive side is that it was a entertaining game in front of passionate fans.
For any team with asperations to play in Super League they must try as hard as possible to get as many fans as they can to showcase games like this. Actually i will expand on that and say that clubs like these 2 who want to play in Super League should make an effort to showcase every game they play, and show the RFL that they would be assets to Super League. Easier said than done i know, but they need to give it a very serious try.'"
Less than 5000 down at the shay for your games. What does that tell you?? |

Are we going to reverse back and relegate Cas, Hull KR and Widnes as their final 'only' brought that amount? (which weren't FULLY sold out just as point of order that there weren't ticket available).
What a bizzarre thread.
(no digging at the above 3 teams, just amazed at the eness of the point trying to be made)'"
Cas v Rovers in 2005 was a complete sell out weeks in advance. (Mainly due to Cas before anyone starts with the "hilarious" HKR millions jokes).
The capacity was only 9,500 back then, it's over 16,000 now. |

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

No it wasn't. It may have been an absolute sell out in the Cas/KR ends, but the RFL were still selling tickets.
The capacity yesterday was, and always was going to be whether Wigan and Saints played there, 9,000. |
