...and also I'm pretty sure we had a 2 week build up to the final that year, think Britain qualified by beating the Aussies and the Kiwi game in between was a dead rubber. Getting to 39,000 would have needed a lot of tickets to be shifted in one week - anything north of 33,000 is a result I reckon. I like the way they held the upper tier back too, so the rest of the ground will be packed to the rafters.

Agreed mate.

It's going to make for a fantastic and hopefully pretty intimidating atmosphere for the Australians.

I cannit wait

Fair points

I got 4 at 11am this morning and was told only 600 left that was before the top tier had been open.

You dont read the papers been ad's in there everyday for the last 4 weeks for each Englang game.

On the top tier ones it says there is a restricted view. Anyone know how much of a restricted view? Also, are they opening any more of the top tier? I am struggling to find 2 seats together anywhere! I really don't want to miss out!

As a massive Leeds United fan (knowing nearly every view in the ground!) i'd say try and get two tickets together anywhere else in the ground. The top tier of the Family/East stand is ok but is too far away from the action in my opinion, the restricted view seats are also likely to be at the top of the stand where you will struggle to see anything.

Looking at how sales have gone and not that many tickets left i'd say the upper should be open from tommorow, i could be wrong though.

had season tickets up there and can't see how there can be a restricted view!
it's up in the gods but a good view nontheless

Which papers?

I get our local paper and haven't noticed anything(but then it only really takes 2mins to flick through and i might have missed it).

I'm taking about advertising on billboards, bus shelters and local radio. I've not seen anything like that which is dissapointing. When Wigan played Leeds in the 'big one' they did all of those and more and it worked.

The RFL need to start doing the same.

Iv seen one of those advertising trucks driving around with the 4Nations banner on the side of it around J27 of the M62

But nothing in our local press.

adverts have been in our local rag "pontefract and castleford express" for the past month with all the offers and deals.yesterdays addition add a full interview with michael shenton appealing for cas fans to get their in numbers to support him and england.

Out of a choice between the East Stand Higher Tier near the corner, the cheaper tickets high up in the south stand on the corner what would you go for?

Ads have been on our local radio (radio aire) and in our newspaper (evening post)

L36 and L44 have now sold out according to Super League website as you cannot click on them nomore.

What next then Tony?
