All tickets sold its a sell out

Top effort by everyone involved. I am sure the capacity should be more than 10,500 and maybe more could have been sold

Looking forward to seeing so many in the shay.

Go Tonga....

cant wait to see a full shay on Sunday.
well done to the club

great news. see everyone down there

Wash your mouth out Bob





Tonga indeed , no Minestrone for you .

when first announced the fixture most thought 4-6,000 would be decent turnout for this match. so for it to be a sellout its a very well done to fax, council and RFL.

No minestrone for me, Gazpacho all the way. I would like to see the Scotts qualify, so "Come on Tonga"

That's it. We are officially sold out! The few returned tickets have been snapped up. There are NO TICKETS LEFT

we are now fully sold out. If u havent got a ticket u will not be able to buy one or pay cash on the day.

You sound like a cat that has got his cream!

Well done to everyone involved, it's something everyone can be proud of.
Something the Bubberites will never see.

Glad it is sold out and I too prefer gazpacho to minestrone.

Well it just goes to show Leigh have the biggest ground currently in the Championship the best team and the biggest potential fanbase.

We also have to compete with folk who watch Man U and City although you find it hard to compete with HalifaxnutterFC.

Will be in the Bow Legged with Brass pub then the 3 Pigs b4 tomorrows game just so you can have a go at me.

I think you might get some

over that, salfordlad but I see where your coming from.
Incidentally HalifaxnutterFc have today changed their club motto to "Half a season is better than none"
Enjoy your day tomorrow and please remember, keep Charlie in check, better still in chains.

Bow Legged with Brass? Noooooo!

Any pub recommendations tomorrow? Been a while since I was in Halifax for a pre-match - will be with the kids so somewhere serving a decent pint and good food that lets nippers in would be ideal.

Try "the ring o bells" by the parish church or "the old post office" the 2 pubs near ground don't do food

Charlie will be there today ,as for the chains , I NEVER wear jewellery

I have sensitive skin ,how anyone can prefer COLD tomato soup to a nice HOT Minestrone is beyond me , I expect it from Salfordlad , the bloke was born in "Boughey St " Leigh , everything was COLD there , even the women



but I thought you Faxers had good taste , though I have seen Halifaxjohns dress sense



.

As for the Game today , I think the Napoli Boys will have to much speed for the Tongans , it should be a great Game , Charlie was very impressed with the Tongan no 3 at the LSV on Tuesday , but we have the Classy Minichellos to spur us on .Ariva Derci ,Charlie knows .

Hope you all have a good day, its great to see our stadiums full, it brings back memories of the past, and hopefully inspires our future

I think the one thing that everyone can agree with is that the World Cup has been a resounding success exceeding our wildest expectations. I have to admit that when Italy v Tonga was announced for the Shay I expected 4,000 at best. A 10,300 sellout has exceeded all my expectations!

Once the World Cup is over we simply must keep the momentum going and ride the wave. By that I mean get the RFL and ALL the clubs together, lock them in a room and don't let them out until they have resolved their differences and reached agreement on the future of the game in the UK.

The game is currently on a high and if they miss this opportunity I really do fear for the future of RL in the northern hemisphere.

Absolutely spot on! Shepherds Rest, , Phoenix Pale Moonlight 4.2% Mmm!

One thing from today, I reckon I "christened" the seat I was in (along with a few other folk around me). Back row of block A - I can't see anyone having sat there before!

Still a decent view, along with everywhere in the East stand.

Good game to watch, but could you imagine what the atmosphere would be like for a crowd like that watching Fax vs whoever!!

Well I hope you cleaned it up you dirty bug"er.

Joking apart, North Stand left hand corner, looking at it from the south stand, quite a few spaces available, West Stand many seats unoccupied, was it elf and safety by the council?
A few people round me remarked on this.
South stand was rammmed!
Either way a full house, 10260, well done everyone.
Only something Bubba/geoff can dream about.

LOL - you can't say anything can you!

Defo lot's of spaces around in the West and North Stands. Even the South Stand could take a few more on the fringes.

I seem to remember seeing somewhere (on one of the World Cup sites) that the capacity was over 14,000. That would be a realistic number if all the spaces were filled, but as we know, there's more to stadium capacity than just the terracing/seats available.

Nice to meet u and yr Mrs today.

Don't worry about that fiver I lent you you can give it me back next season. Hope you both had a good time in Majorca.

Geoff was indeed there yesterday.

I thnk you'll agree that it was a great achievement, but it is something only HRLFC can dream about. Neither club will ever get 10,000+ for a game.

Geoff, we get it. Now go away
