Yes, 2 - with Saints been pretty close. 

I would guess this game could sell out or close too. Certainly a case to try up capacity to up and around the 9-10k mark. 


I did think that it was higher than 8050 capacity now the works and terracing have been done along with new south stand. Surely that would add on an extra 500-1000 capacity? Did someone say that they haven’t re-assessed since the recent world yet? 

I was confident we'd sell out for Hull FC, Cas, Leeds and Wigan, but Hull KR was a bonus. We play them at Belle Vue again on a Saturday in September which should sell out again. And you look at the crowd Leigh brought last Friday night and our home league fixture against them looks a likely sell out too.


7 sell outs from 13 home games would be pretty good wouldn't it? Maybe that's part of the 5 year plan - up the capacity slightly for next year, then again for 2027 with the west terrace improvements. 

I stand on the corner of the north terrace and west terrace- even in sellouts there's still plenty of space . I'm sure we could safely get 9k in .

I did after being told at the Hull game 

Perhaps once it is re-assessed the capacity will be increased. 

I can see it being 9k which would be welcome if we are to continue growing as a club. 


Hopefully it can be re-assessed soon enough. 

Let’s not forget the GF Vs Toulouse was also a sell out at the end of last season!.


Cas looking like a nailed on sell out
If you count back we’ve had over 6,000 for a Challenge Cup game Vs Leigh that was live on TV (no season tickets)
A sell out Vs Hull FC
Near 7,000 Vs Sts on a cold Saturday and again Live on TV
A sell out Vs Hull KROver 2,000 for a Challenge Cup game Vs Goole Vikings, a game that was initially an away fixture (no season tickets)
A sell out Vs Toulouse with virtually no away fans contributing

Suspect Lawler will pick up a ban for that tip-tackle, so hopefully he won't be playing next week ??

Cas are poor

I think poor is giving them a lot of credit.

leigh looked a really tired team... Just about did enough to win the game at ease, without really playing well. If Cas had anything to offer, then Leigh were there for the taking tonight. 

I agree. On other platforms i was shot down about my opinion with our performance being poor, but we were really ordinary, and had no spark to show any real execution, especially when Cas were down to 12 men. Do i think we will get to where we want to be soon? I honestly don't know , but we are way off atm.

The reason why Leigh won, though they were not at there best is there spine are at /or near full strength ,our's is shot to pieces
