Where will the season ticket holders from the North stand go?

Carnegie i would surmise.

TBH i can see the club being able to add a little to the capacity should the demand be there for it, i just cant see them missing out on the readies. Although i freely admit that the past few years of apathy from fans means that 10k fans is the max we would have attracted anyway sadly.

Besides, the clamour for tickets means that peoples hard earned will be safely tucked up in Leeds's bank account earning some interest on it, so it cant be ALL bad.

Meh if I get a ticket I`ll go if I dont I will watch it on t.v and spend the money on beer instead ..........

Just a thought here but if our capacity is around the 20000 mark normally.
It is now cut to 10000 in other words half.
Have Wigan had their allocation cut by half to 2500 or would they have been given that amount anyway?
I suppose what I am saying is why don`t we give Wigan 1250 and we get the 8750?

No we've been given 2500, that was our original allocation.... Why should be given just 1250 tickets???

Because we have had to take a reduction in spaces available why shouldn`t you?
As I say just a thought.

S'on the telly innit?

Because as you said 'we have had to take a reduction', thats got nothing to do with us so i dont think that we should have any less tickets...

I'm sure the policy is that the away team gets 'x'% of tickets available, not 'x'% of the stadium's capacity so therefore you should have a smaller allocation than you would if we had the normal 22 000 tickets available.

...and it's any [ifewer[/i tickets.

Yes fair comment as it is at Headers it is our problem so to speak.
My comment was around both sides feeling the pain and both sides having to lose 50% of their allocation seemed fair but I take your point.
I am only peeved that I might miss out on a ticket.
Should have bought a season ticket yes I know before anyone says anything.

What is the capacity of the Western Terrace, The Southstand, the Carnegie stand & the paddock area in front of the North stand? It must be more than 10000.
I don't see why all of those areas can't be used since all can be accessed away from the Cricket ground side & therefore won't affect the Roses match.
On the matter of noise has anybody heard the crowds in the IPL or those in the Windies (Bridgetown, Barbados especially) during the T20 World Cup? That didn't seem to affect the batsmen so why should the roar of the rugby crowd do that?

Yeah mush innit !!

It won't affect the batsmen, but it might affect the old dears trying to get an after lunch nap. Have you seen what they're like when the don't get their 40 winks, you'd need an elephant gun to protect yourself, isn't that right McF.

That could be right you should see the looks when someone has the temerity to answer their mobile phone.

Im sure there is a rule whereby the visiting team get X% of tickets available, anyone know what that is? But if we have been given 2500 and then the capacity is cut by Leeds (althought not their fault), then i dont really see why we should have to hand back tickets. If they had reduced it first and then gave us an allocation of say 1800 to 2000 then it would have been different. But to simply take tickets back of us through no fault of our own isnt fair imo.

I get what your saying but its the same for wigan non season ticket holders. What they should have done is wait until the capacity had been decided and then give us an allocation, but even then anything less then 2000 would be unfair imo.

Everyone's a winner then.

Thats the truth.

The old cynic in me thinks that if it is a sell out - El Presidente will persuade the "independent" safety team to suddenly allow a few thousand more tickets to be sold.

Struggling to think why this time is really any different from the two previous times this has happened, without the need for a capacity reduction.

Those who did not attend the Blackpool game need not complain at this decision. Those who did attend should have first dibs on tickets, season ticket holders or not.

I was hoping to get to this game, it being on a Saturday. I don't really understand the alledged health and safety issues. I know I wouldn't want a seat in the Paddock as at last years game that clashed with the cricket anyone sat there missed the first 10 mins of play.

I would give first chice to those who attended the Blackpool game too.

According the Rhinos website you will be able to sit in ANY area in the ground, but once the capacity reaches 10,000 it will be a sell out. Might be a bit odd if you're the only one sat in your section.

We just ordered ours (we sit in the Paddock, Row

and had no problems getting our season ticket seats.

What an idiot! I was trying to get rid of the guy with sunglasses and somehow managed to quote myself!!
