No,I just dispair of the 2/3 trolls on here,who have all been successfully banned from totalrl.com and therefore that site is much more successful,positive and interesting.

But hardly any posters?

Just add the people you think are trolls to you rfoe list.

I'd check your facts.There are more users on totalrl.com than nowadays on here - and no trolls.

Snapshot a few seconds ago:

[iRLFans: In total there are 1737 users online :: 222 registered, 32 hidden and 1483 guests

TotalRL: 217 users are online (in the past 15 minutes), 61 members, 155 guests, 1 anonymous users[/i

TotalRL has a very long way to go . If you prefer a sanitised environment that's your call and fair enough. For me a bit of banter makes it a little more fun. Trolls are harmless. Anything they choose to post is lost on page 2 in no time.

Gutters gives an opinion, whether we like it or not. If people stopped baiting him every time there's a good crowd, he might stop.

Thank fudge there's a game tonight.

I prefer it on here, good or bad you get real RL fans. TotalRL attracts a slightly more anoraky breed that enjoy hilarious in-jokes and radio 5 style word-play.

Anyway....

Ticket sales! Any updates yet? Surprised that DW hasn't sold out yet but expect it will be pretty close. Leeds sounds like its sold a good few. Any news/rumours for Wrexham or Wire?

This other site sounds a bit North Korean to me. Still, lots of clapping I guess.

Well you know where the door is


...just be careful it doesn't hit you too hard on the backside as you leave

Ok Ok he said his piece, be nice.

There is bound to be a bit of cross competition between forums ( i am a member of 3) , but lets keep this about crowds. I think if we start derailing threads, to start comparing forums for RL then our status as an inward looking bunch is just about sealed for good.

Also there is a thread totally for the debate over average attendances, as it was threatening to derail this one a few weeks back and make anyone sane go insane.

I also agree with Jon we get people moaning about gutters and William when they post, but then when they go quiet the same people start baiting them to come back. I think it's one of those love hate things.

But back onto ticket sales. Has there been any news on the USA game, I'd imagine thats the hardest sell of this weekend.

Not sure I want to go to a forum where everyone agrees.

And doesn't Speccy's post breach the AUP for criticism of the moderation process

Just had an e-mail through pushing Fiji v Samoa, from farting about with the e-ticketing it looks like only around 2,700 standing tickets have been sold for it. Hopefully it's not a 'week 1 of the play offs' type round of attendances.

I noticed something a bit weird with that the other day. I looked one day and put tickets for the west stand in my basket and they were numbered around 3,000 and then a few days later they were numbered at about 500 so I'm not sure how accurate that way is.

I think we'll be surprised with one or two low crowds though. Looking at the availability for the DW (you can put umpteen tickets in your basket in all areas) I'm not convinced the sales are above 20k as rumoured.

I had the same with the south stand, on Monday it was showing as 2,000 odd, but 400 today.

I am reliably informed that sales for tomorrow are just shy of 21,000.

I'm not a member of Totalrl.com but enjoy reading it every now and again, especially when depression sets in after reading how the attendances, stadiums, pies etc are at our World Cup. They are certainly on the whole, more upbeat over there.

16000 at Leeds. Not bad not bad at all

Looking round the ground, it felt very similar to last weeks attendance. I was a little surprised when they announced 16k. Still a good attendance though.

South Stand wasn't anything like last weeks game, no where near as full

It was in the section we were in.

Plenty of space near us, not the case last week

20,000+ tomorrow

The attendance at Wrexham will be interesting. Hope Samoa v Fiji will be a similar crowd to the last game at Warrington.

They must have all come down my end then! Ah well...splitting hairs....still a good crowd!

Fiji vs Samoa deserves to sell out. It will be a really exciting match.

I know that many people have been spending a lot of hard earned money to attend the WC games, but this one will really be worth the money. It should have great attacking play plus a lot of hard physical contact (big hits!). I just hope that it doesn't get too nasty.

In a way I kind of hope it does. Can't beat a good bit of biff and Fiji and Samoa are both sides who like to rough it up a bit. So long as it doesn't spoil the match too much of course, should be a cracker, Gutted that I can't go.
