I just managed to buy tickets for the SAF stand (needed 6 together). £40 tix and I sat there for the WC Final, so they're decent seats, but I'll be a bit fed up if there's a load of tix behind the goal tomorrow.

Always a bit wary about buying from the RFL as you can be surrounded by fans from anywhere. I remember a GF when my kids were little and they wanted to go home at half time (and we were winning) as we had a team from York on their annual booze up directly behind us and a team from Bradford doing exactly the same directly in front of us. Put two teams on the pop all day, sit in between them with your 3 daughters and imagine how it felt. There will be no neutrals on Saturday.

Its been a joyless experience today and has taken away all the excitement of Saturday afternoon.

Question on the safe standing section mate, was everyone standing?

I was considering them tickets but saw a comment saying everyone in them last year was sitting.

If we get back to the GF I might consider going in there.

Were in North N2405 between the 30m and 40m lines. A good mixture of fans with no trouble whatsoever. I don't like watching a game from behind the posts so these seats were ideal, I'd rather pay a bit more and have less bother.

We’ve done safe standing a couple of times now. It was great on Saturday but we were right at the back. We did it for the WC final and we were at the front and that wasn’t great because people behind were sat down and then you felt like you had to and to say it was cramped was an understatement.

I'd have hated to have had to sit down. Luckily enough for us, we got in earlier than we normally would and naturally stood up, anyone who came after kind of just followed our lead.

Personally, I thought it made it a better atmosphere + the organisation of the seats/rows made it a better experience than traditional, free for all standing areas.
