When you go to the supermarket, do you just pick the first item on the shelf? or do look behind them for the ones with the furthest from out of date?

I would be pretty pished off if the supermarket refused to serve me the ones behind just because they want to get rid of the older ones first.

Unfortunately, I am unable to go to the semi as flying that day for vacation. But glad I dont have to mess around with the musical chairs farce it appears the RFL are putting people through.

Yes and No!



I just think closing the whole of the single tier large West Stand as opposed to what they have previously done, closing the Upper East and Upper North tiers, is just depriving the fans of choice of the better places to sit to watch Rugby League LIVE in favour of making the place look full, one assumes for the wider non RL media and public. They are forcing people to sit in them god damn awful upper tier seats along the Eastern touch line instead of the better seats along the Western touch line. The people that wait or even pay on the day might now get the seats that all those people now forced to sit in the gods would have preferred in the first place had they had a choice!

In the two previous fixtures we have had crowds just short of 20k, which only leaves 4500 empty seats, must of which would be in the upper East stand, the ground is 4/5th's full, what is wrong with that?

No the supermarket only puts out on the shelves the stuff it wants to sell, if it has plenty of lettuce it will keep the fresher stuff back as then it has more chance of selling the older stuff before it has to start discounting it.

You need to stop going to the cheap scandinavian ones.



Not in my supermarket. The older stuff to the front the newer to the back, that's the way it's done.

Well fingers crossed this get's sorted out

That doesn't mention the recently arrived stuff that's kept in the warehouse until there is room on the shelves for it. BTW they don't have cheap Scandinavian ones in Ireland, cheap German ones I'll give you but not cheap scandinavian ones but I don't tend to use them for fruit and veg.

Fruit and Veg?



What about your filling processed foods, your yoghurts, deserts, pizzas?

The woeful RFL ticketing website is showing the FM Upper as being "on sale".

Only the Kilner Bank is greyed out.

Every single fan had an opportunity to buy a ticket wherever they wanted it.

I note what you say in your final sentence but I still think it's clever marketing, artificially driving up demand.

Howdy Partner

Arghh, you mean either down the touch line side, albeit only one of the touch lines at the moment, and both ends... yes, ok, see what you mean!

I think I got my East & West mixed up BTW but according to Wiki the single tier East stand, the Kelner Bank stand, has a capacity of 'over 7000' which means that if we come close to matching the previous 20k crowds then they will have to open this stand at some point as they are going to be at least 2500 seats short if they don't open it.

It does look like they have now opened the upper tier of the Fantastic Media stand now but you can only get your tickets from Leeds for this stand.

I only have one question to ask in all this, is the Media Stand really Fantastic?

Sorry I'd given the example of lettuce so I related your next comment to fruit & veg. I thought that relevent given the short shelf life. The processed foods have a longer shelf life along with pizzas (assuming frozen). I don't buy yoghurts or desserts so they're not relevant to me.

Is it a definate that the FMS Upper Tier is now open for business?

Not quite.

I've just called the ticket office and been told "We've only got singles left - we might have more on Friday".

Singles were? In the Upper or Lower tier mate?

Surely it can't be the Upper they've only just gone on sale if so...?

This is getting rather confusing now. Why is it so hard for either the club of RFL to come out with a statement on what is happening with ticket sales

They simple said "we've only singles at the moment" - I didn't even get chance to mention a stand or price bracket.

Presumably the "new" batch on Friday will all be upper tier seats

OK Cheers Bramley!

Just had a call from the ticket office - they have just got the new batch now from the RFL. They are for the Upper Tier so I would ring & get yours as soon as you can.

Just had the same call.

Two tickets in the upper tier sorted.

bollox. thats a great view from up there. wish i'd have waited. i'm down in the bottom tier. hope i'm not next to rhinoms

You cheeky bar-steward!
Are you staying in Huddersfield after for a few?

Fookin hell who's driving Jenson Button?
