I bought a ticket from the RFL last year immediately after we beat Saints and managed to get an amazing seat at the Wire end of the stadium in the front row of block WU205 (I think this is some sort of international executive block for Man U games). The view was incredible right behind the sticks.
It turned into a nightmare with a group of boozed up tools behind me who thought it great fun to burst balloons right by the ears of those in front (mainly me due to being the only one in a Wire top). When that didn't get the reaction the wanted they spent the rest of the build-up and the whole of the first half kicking the back of my seat. Fortunately they disappeared at half time and never came back. The block directly in front of seemed to have a large group of middle aged idiots, who I was told were from Leeds but were United rather than Rhinos supporters, who spent most of the game with their backs to the action trying to wind up anyone behind them. What should have been, win lose or draw, one of the highlights of following the Wire was a thoroughly unpleasant experience that I have no intention of going through again. Unless the RFL can give me some assurances that I will be sat in the Wire end of the ground amidst Wire fans then I will be queuing in the rain if necessary to buy from the club.
Edit - This is IF we win on Thursday night. I'm certainly not going to start counting chickens.
