Why is it a 9,000 capacity anyway when the only closed stand holds 5,000 in a 16,000 capacity stadium?

Think the blocks immediately next to the East Stand are closed as well (plus there will be seats not used for wherever the big screen is).

It's all bull. Loads of tickets left at the RFL. Attendance will be around 7500 with lots of gaps dotted around the stadium. You'll still be able to get tickets on the day at the Blackpool ticket office.

Totally out of our control as fans , at least Sky can't blame us or fax for a lower attendance , when it will be down to whatever availability the ground has chosen , still won't look too fantabulous on Sky with the gaps . Us leythers will have to brighten the place up a bit

Agree with you John, i am really looking forward to Blackpool as well mate.

No, but they did play all of their only premiership season with a temporary stand, which is the stand being redeveloped. And why would they with guaranteed sell outs and big profit margins mid season? What do you want them to do, wait until after the NRC final to redevelop their own ground?



Blocks X & W arn't open either.

can we promise it to someone else then?

Ian I love anywhere by the seaside just messing about in fact if I could get the price for my house that it was worth 2 years ago I'd have been living in Fleetwood now

<Can of worms> Ribby Hall and it's Preston postcode </can of worms>

Obviously not. Play it somewhere else, in my opinion.

Where else has the novelty to sell tickets like a weekender in Blackpool?

Play it in Rochdale and get 5k like they used to?

Thats my thinking too.

As for the 9000 limit (it is a shame if people miss out), but isn't it good publicity for this comp if the sell out boards go up (thats if they do)? Rather than sell a couple hundred more and then thousands of empty seats on show because they couldn't be sold.

If you havent got your tickets best get them today or Monday morning as they have to send back all unsold tickets Monday.
