Online system now working.

It'll be interesting to see the attendance for this match. Hopefully it'll be a sellout, the first since the opening game of the season v Bradford (7221).

Our official average attendance for the 13 home league games is approx 5650.
(I don't think the club issued an attedance for the Toulouse home match; it was estimated as roughly 7000.)

I say "official" average attendance as I assume that we, along with most other clubs, quote the number of tickets sold - rather than the actual physical attendance. This is not a criticism btw; most football clubs do exactly the same. Where you've sold lots of season tickets at rock-bottom prices, or given tickets away, you are likely to get less attending games than tickets sold. For the obvious reason, if a ticket costs a lot, you tend to use it!

Anyway, with everyone having to buy a ticket at normal-ish prices - the semi final playoff quoted attendance should closely match the actual numbers in the ground.

One other point about attendances: I think I read somewhere that the IMG ratings are based on actual ground occupancy attendance, rather than number of tickets sold/given away. So interestingly for the regular season just gone, somewhere there will be a dual set of stats for every club - quoted average official attendance vs actual numbers attended.

Had an issue for my ticket....
Money take from my account, but no online ticket!
Have to pop in the shop, so no bother....

York have just beaten Widnes 27-10 so we will either be playing York or Fev next week.

Step 1 with York through done.

Fev will beat bulls tomorrow and after semi vs Fev it will be Wakey v York final

I would love that scenario too. However I reckon Bulls will win, then we will have Tool
House in final

Looking like York in the semi final.

York it is.

So Fev finish 6th, Widnes 5th, and Wakey can finish 3rd at worst.

We already know our expected IMG score +/- 0.33 IMG points (with the potential for the 0.25 bonus points for finishing first).

I think Bradford are quite capable of beating Toulouse, they will have lost the advantage of the oppressive weather from earlier in the season.

I agree. I think Bradford are more than capable of upsetting both Toulouse and us if we are not on our game.

Ha ha ha ! Won't it be great to be able to pay onto gate, good old pounds shillings n pence.

What do you do put the money in a bag and then impale it to the gate. I am not sure how that will work in 2024 but before decimalisation I suppose it was possible, the world was a more trusting place.

Lets hope the numpty with the drum either doesn't turn up or isn't allowed to bring it into the ground !
