No one has yet suggested a better venue that:

Was available
Wanted to host the game
Did not require a non-refundable deposit
Would break even despite reduced crowds

Tell me where you would have hosted the games?

Leigh is a standard Super League stadium, not the best but certainly not the worst. It might not be that attractive to a neutral but let's be honest neither is Huddersfield, Hull or Headingley.

Anyway, my original post had nothing to do with Catalans in 2018. I was just looking at it from a Hull ticket perspective, as if we get through we’ll be playing Warrington or Cas.

I was just pointing out the first batch of 17,000 tickets have been in sale on the RFL ticket website and and some were still available.

Based on the assumption that this season’s maximum capacity may be 45,000, that would only leave a further 28,000 to be issued. Based upon RFL allocation logic, I’d assume that would mean if Hull got to the final, their allocation may only be c10,000. So not every Hull fan would get a ticket, as typically we probably take 15,000-20,000 to Wembley.

Well let's hope we have this problem to contend with later today!

A bit different this year for travelling fans in that the final isn't on a bank holday weekend in the middle of school holidays.

I think the figures you are all quoting bare no resemblance to actual attendance. I believe the figures included the Wembley members of which there were many. I maybe wrong ???????

The Challenge Cup Final attendance figure hasn't included all Club Wembley members whether they are there or not since 2016.

The 2017, 2018 and 2019 finals all had attendances under 70,000 - prior to 2017 every final since the return to Wembley in 2007 had attendances over 75,000.

Come on lads
