I know someone who's got an apprenticeship at one of Wilkys companies, he said people he works with have been saying the gates capped at 9k because there wasn't enough people at the Wigan game to get to the next stage in the capacity, hope its a lie!

They can cap it all they w ant as I f ear we won't get 5000! Warm games awful atmos and no interest,,hope. I am sooooo wrong!!!!!!

That's a far more common procedure than you might first think, Iain!

You are wrong.

As I said I hope so!

Sure i've read somewhere that we have sold our allocation of adult tickets.

Looking forward to getting there as long as the weather allows it

Just over 4000 there tonight.

Very worrying sign for the reds.

What happened to the so called 8k+ ticket sales. Clearly that appears to have been a load of rubbish.
your not telling me that 4000 people bought tickets for the match then decided cos it was cold they would knock it on the head.

Its ok they only need 4k to break even my mate said

Not sure where you get your 4000 from la as official attendance was 5282. Yes, it's disappointing but I'm not surprised given the weather. It was never gonna be a sell-out but think 7k-8k could have been achieved given some half decent weather. The "floating" fans more than likely stayed at home in front of the fire & watched on Sky. Decent effort by the Cas fans to make it over and safe journey home guys & gals!

It was actually 5242 but don't let the facts get in the way of what I would agree was a dreadful turnout. Whoever on here posted we'd sold over 8300 as well, I'd say next time wherever you get your info from keep it to yourself!

In which case Sky are incorrect. Having been one of the frozen fools that attended tonight I'm fairly confident the official figure is more accurate. However, it was still a disappointing turnout and I won't dispute that.

Whose the accountant at Salford then sold 8000 tickets my booty

I don't recall any figure given on Sky. There's nothing on text that's for sure.

Was a poor turn out though, regardless of the weather.

It was around 4,500 on the screen at the end of the match , which looking at the pictures would be about right , you really have to feel for Salford, they had planned a full day of events, then the weather kills it stone dead.
