Surely Manly get a share of the gate plus expenses. They wouldn't fly here at their own cost.

On the Saints game I reckon it'll lose Leeds and Saints somewhere in the region of £140,000 each

Say a crowd of £15,000 at an average price of £15.

Add in the corporate side.

Do you think the RL will do it again next season.


Wigan have around 10,000 season ticket holders. Barrow holds 6,500.
THat should be fun allocating the tickets.

You've scared him off KM he's seen you in yer colours on the picture thread

I thought they played that with man-hole covers in Goven!!

Has a date been given for the game to be played? we are going on holiday and if it clashes i will never hear the last of it.

Try the link above your post.

Sunday at 4.30

Picked the link up , oh dear, can they not push it back a week

Thanks cant pick links up most of the time, my computer is older than me, should get a new one but had this bought by parents for 18th sentimental it is.

yes. I meant sharing wit other clubs in the league.

What are you on about? The money Leeds vs Saints will lose because of the free tickets? If so, how does the corporate side come into it.

Why do you think an all paying crowd for a televised 4th round challenge cup tie will draw 15,000 punters?

I hope so. At last the BBC will be able to show an early round tie at a packed stadium with a good atmosphere and a noisy crowd. It will do the game's image no end of good.

Not seen this on here yet.

TV Games - Sunday 5th April BBC2

Catalans v Bradford - 2:30pm
Leeds v St Helens - 4:30pm

That's why I averaged the price out at £15.

The majority of tickets would sell at above that price.

I think both clubs will be expressing their dissatisfaction, particularly the one who loses.

From a Wigan p.o.v. we have 10,000 season ticket holders, Barrow has a capacity of between 6,500 and 7,700 (dependent on who you believe).

How will that work?

Why do you think a 4th round televised cup tie would draw a crowd of 15,000?

The Leeds v Wigan Cup crowds for the last two seasons were around 12,000.

I would expect that the "two best clubs in Superleague" could better that.

And as I said the £15 average ticket was way on the low side for Headingley.

It is a big loss in revenue, do you agree?

Probably but Leeds can afford it unlike Saints who I feel will feel the loss of the shared gate.

Can the Beeb actually afford to send people over to france to do the game, with this sort out equipment and then bring it back again..
and have double of this lot?

Any chance of having that in English and we might be able to respond?

We're on the march with Bluey's army
We're all going to Wembley
And we'll really shake em up
When we win the Challenge cup
Coz Leeds Rhinos are the greatest rugby team

Bye, bye MMC for another season...unless we find some decent attacking form

like you have for the last three years?

hahahahahahhahahahahahah

Why would Leeds bother marching to a building site three years ago?

your playing in one now

As you've failed to answer the question I am pleased TVOC has done it for you.

Would you like to revise your fag packet calculations?

I appreciate Saints are a much better team than Wigan but they don't have the same support do they?

Why so glum (apart from your usual sunny disposition), Leeds are still scoring more and conceding less than St Helens are.

He's probably unnecessarily worried about the frailties of our right centre like the rest of you.
