Anyone know if tomorrows Castleford v Leeds final is anywhere near a sell out and what are the chances of turning up on the day and being able to buy a ticket?

I dont follow either club so I'm not bothered about where I sit

Good. You'll get yourself a ticket. Get there. Should be a better.

I have 1 spare ticket for sale on the day if you are interested.

Block 135 (cas end). Cost £32, I will let you have it for £20.

PM me if interested. Hopefully see you at wembley!

I hope you got yourself a seat?

Just wish you had 20,000 mates to fill all the gaps there are currently...........

the Club Wembley tier is an issue the RFL can't fix (hopefully we can get out of that deal when the 10 years is up in 2017) but I can't understand why for every other event the RFL always sell the bottom tiers/stands facing the camera first before opening the rest of the ground up, yet for the CC Final they put the whole ground on sale.

it would look far better if all the fans on the top tier were all down one side and on the ends (like at the World Cup semi)

the amount of price bands also doesn't help, do we really need 7 different price bands? you end up with stupid scenarios where thousands of fans are sat in the rafters in the 'cheap' seats, while rows below them are completely empty!

I'd also add in that the 2 week gap between the Semi and Final isn't helping get the crowds in, spoken to several 'casual' Leeds & Cas fans this week who aren't going because transport and hotels were too expensive (or their perception was they'd left it too late) if you gave these people 4-6weeks gap to make plans I reckon they'd go.

It also gives the clubs little time to make and sell merchandise. 2 weeks barely gives the clubs time to do a bit of 'Wembley' embroidery/heat-sealing on garments never mind buy extra stock in.

I decided to stay home and watch it on telly instead .... basically because the Mrs insisted I mow the grass after we went to Ikea. Not that I'm under the thumb or anything.

Cas have been a little disappointing. I dont support either side but I was hoping they would tear Leeds a new one.

all on again now!

Crowd 77K odd according to the tannoy, surely they are including the 10K or so Club Wembley fans who don't attend in that number!??

you would think. Looking at the crowd I would have said nearer 60000.

"the game has never been stronger"

2 weeks between semi and final is not enough to make plans, and make financial arrangements, for everyone. Probably too close to the play offs to encourage fans of other clubs to enjoy a day out, with the prospect of 4 additional games to pay for in Sept/Oct.

another good point, and with the new structure the final next year will be slap bang in the middle of the Super8s and that may make neutral fans save their cash for their own teams home games.

What if a team from the middle 8 make the final and are sitting 4/5th......will they field a weakened side in the final to save their stars for the million pound game?
