Can anyone shed light on why Leeds were only given an original allocation of 10,500, yet we were given 17,000?

I haven't a clue but surely when Leeds have sold that allocation they would recieve more. How many have Leeds actually sold?

10,035 according to the official site, less than 500 left. 34 Coaches booked.

Just seems strange, thought they'd have to give an equal share this time.

Yeah I know what you mean. It's also surprising that Leeds average better home gates and haven't been to the new Wembley nor a Challenge Cup Final in eleven years, yet we have sold about 3k more.

Leeds made the final in 2005, lost 25 - 24 to Hull, Danny Brough drop goal IIRC. May be 11 years since they were last at Wembley however.

I've no idea about the allocations, seems very strange. But expect to see about 25,000 Leeds fans in there come kick off time. A lot of Leeds fans tend to get their tickets from other sources, maybe due to the low allocations given out. There's always plenty more at the GF's each year than the initial ticket allocations suggest.

I'm pretty sure we were given about 10,000 last year but then requested more after they sold out. This year we requested more in the first place because of the number we sold last year, hence there being less blocks available in our end on the RFL website than there was last year.

With so much recent final experience I'm sure Leeds fans are well versed in purchasing directly from the RFL so a large number will simply do that, whereas a lot of Warringtonians who don't often go to games but jump on for Wembley will be less aware of that option and only think to buy from the club, hence us needing to have more.

Actually it was Paul Cooke's converted try that won it, Brough's drop goal was earlier on.

Cracking final though, Kat Jenkins' norks were on full show that day.

Yeah.

Marcus Bai it was. Went part of the way to redeeming himself by scoring a cracking try a few minutes later, but nothing could really make up for that brain explosion!
