Spoke to Andy today when I got our tickets, he said they're ticking over nicely. Selling a similar amount each day.

So if it was 700 on Wednesday morning after only a day on general sale and 3 working days on sale for ST holders, LISA members TDC members (about half our fanbase) I think that's pretty good going.

Well I got 4 today by phone I just need to pop down tomorrow to collect them and book the coach.

Exactly the point I was going to make Jonny.

700 is poor.
However its half of our current home support so when looking at it that way it doesn't look too bad.
I agree that 3,000 should have been achievable (and may still be so) but I suppose Halifax is a tougher sell to the rest of the family than Blackpool so the match day event needs to be the 'big sell' and the 'you don't want to miss that' bit of that needs ramping up.

What's the pre match entertainment like, have the RFL got anything on to get people in beforehand (I know London & North Wales are playing - does everyone else know its two for one for example)

Collecting my coach money this week and very few of our lot had got round to buying match tickets yet, sent young glow for ours this afternoon.

Hopefully there'll be a rapid increase over this week end.

That's my thought as well glow, I will be searching for a bar in adeje showing prem sport- so if anyone can recommend one........

Blackpool was a great day out but I have a feeling this could be every bit as good, especially with no work the next day
So please buy them tickets quickly so we can get the next allocation delivered, and remember to tell everyone to buy from the club as we get 25% commission by you doing so
Thank you for your support so far

Are you away Neil?

No offence but that's terrible forward planning mate lol

Not hit 900 yet.

Tickets due to go back to RFL Tuesday so it doesn't look good.

We are told Sheff and Wales are selling well also which adds insult to injury.

We will have lots of people buying tomorrow wait and see.

Best make people aware of that then as Leythers are notoriously late buyers!

Hope so Frank, boys need it.

As I'm filming for The Crusaders on the day

Genuinely can't believe we are selling so poorly, yes we might sell a few more tomorrow whilst people aren't working and are able to get there. But 900 is quite bad tbh, thought our support would of shown Sheffields up. Such a shame cos the lads have done brilliant this year, and i for one was looking forward to the south stand being packed to the rafters. Something needs to be done, How on earth are we lacking in support? We do brilliant in final, it will be a class day out!

Don't underestimate the effect of the terracing - for Blackpool, two of us were first in the queue and bought nigh on 50 tickets to make sure we were all sat together. For next week, I've only bought three tickets and let the others sort themselves out while we know we won't have an issue watching the game as a group.

I would imagine there are some individual fans going to Halifax which would have been families if it was Blackpool.
