<Can of worms> Ribby Hall and it's Preston postcode </can of worms>

Obviously not. Play it somewhere else, in my opinion.

Where else has the novelty to sell tickets like a weekender in Blackpool?

Play it in Rochdale and get 5k like they used to?

Thats my thinking too.

As for the 9000 limit (it is a shame if people miss out), but isn't it good publicity for this comp if the sell out boards go up (thats if they do)? Rather than sell a couple hundred more and then thousands of empty seats on show because they couldn't be sold.

If you havent got your tickets best get them today or Monday morning as they have to send back all unsold tickets Monday.

Nowhere else has the novelty factor that Blackpool has. I bet this factor has swung 25% of everyones party. If it was Rochdale/Bury/Warrington/Widnes 4 of our 10 would definately have not come.

Its the day out for them with a bit of rugby attached rather than like us rugby fans it being a cup final with a day out to boot.

Its the first I have read about the tickets going back after Monday, if true, and I have no reason to doubt this, was this publicised in the Journal/Reporter etc.. to try to inform the "masses"?

Cue the 'I've not had a reporter/journal for ages' posts

Well I know its true as Ive just spoke to the ticket office and this is what they said























Honest.

Never doubted you for a second Linda, but I would hate to think anyone was to mis out because they didnt realise the deadline was Monday. I guess they would be told to go to the RFL so maybe it is not that crucial after all. Some might say tough luck, you should have been more organised but I want as many people as possible shouting for Leyth

Was any quantity sold mentioned Linda?

...but in this instance it wont matter 'cause they read it on the net

No it doesn't say in either paper that tickets go back but surely they can still be bought from the RFL it also says that 2,600 sold

hope more than that

Just picked up a couple of car flags and temp tattoes from ticket office. Also noticed Leigh DIY at Butts Bridge has all the Cup merchandise in the window

They should be able to get the tickets from RFL anyway as you say. To be fair to the club, didn't they create panic to force people to buy their tickets simply by stating only 200 left from 3000 tickets. Think that goes down better to create sales rather than you better buy your tickets by Monday or we will have to send unsold tickets back to RFL.

Also as I work on the railway I can't get away from the Northern Rail poster with Robbie Paul on it advertising it all over the network. Much better than when it was the buddies cup and it was treated as a pre-season tournament.

We did a shot on this show I am doing for ITV at York railway station and it ends with the baddy standing right next to the NRC cup poster where you can clearly see our name. It's called Eternal Law.

If they go back to the RFL, can you not do that online "print your ticket off" thingy???

I know everyone who lives around me gets one cos I deliver them (Reporter that is), so no excuses from my local neighbourhood lol

A couple of mates are still without tickets, anyone else having trouble with the RFL site? It wont let me select any areas...

Looks like they can still be bought in every block of the 'Fax end...make of that what you will!

Might be your version of ie? Eticketing is Defo incompatible with ie6

Thought they had sold out in that end and sent to RFL for more.

Maybe mate, I'm on IE8 and its not playing.

Nowt to do with what version as it allows you to click on blocks in the 'Fax end but nowt in the Leigh end. Best getting them from Leigh tomorrow morning before the remainder are sent back to the RFL.

You'll be please to know that I finally got mine LM - South Stand but away from you noisy, drunken rabble

How many did you buy?
