Jeez, this old line: as has been pointed out on numerous occasions, RL has more often that not had its champions decided through play-offs, and was doing so nearly a hundred years before Sky came along!
What you mean is that football isn't like and it never will be. Although that doesn't stop football using play-offs to decide promotion: what, you finished third, but a team three places below you went up rather than you?
It's not a joke-we wouldn't have done the double in 1954 without play-offs. It's intrinsically linked to the history of our sport. There's no reason that can't be 'sold' to people, just because it's not what the Premier League do.

My confirmation email says I have to pick my tickets up from the stadium, but there was no other information, I'm assuming this means I'm to pick them up from the ticket office next to the stadium? Anybody any idea when it'll be open on the day?

Of the many professional sports played in the UK, how many are decided by first-past-the-post? |

Rugby League has had 75 Grand Finals to decide the champions of the sport in this country, most of which were long before the modern era. It is not a modern thing, it's not a Sky thing.
Only 46 times in our sport's history have the champions been crowned by winning the league and I hope that figure never gets higher.
All three of our championships were Grand Final wins:
1948, 15-5 v Bradford
1954, 8-7 v Halifax
1955, 7-3 v Oldham
We only topped the league ladder in the last those seasons.
Being consistently good over the whole season is one thing, playing in a high pressure situation in front of big crowds (and a huge crowd for the final) against the other most consistent sides over the season, is another and proves you're the best imo. |

On the ticket sales front, according to the rl website, you can no longer buy tickets on the website as they have sold and the only way to obtain them is at the Old Trafford shop. So hopefully a good sign attendance wise.

I imagine this is due to systems and processes, rather than due to the level of sales. |
