Yes fair comment as it is at Headers it is our problem so to speak.
My comment was around both sides feeling the pain and both sides having to lose 50% of their allocation seemed fair but I take your point.
I am only peeved that I might miss out on a ticket.
Should have bought a season ticket yes I know before anyone says anything.

What is the capacity of the Western Terrace, The Southstand, the Carnegie stand & the paddock area in front of the North stand? It must be more than 10000.
I don't see why all of those areas can't be used since all can be accessed away from the Cricket ground side & therefore won't affect the Roses match.
On the matter of noise has anybody heard the crowds in the IPL or those in the Windies (Bridgetown, Barbados especially) during the T20 World Cup? That didn't seem to affect the batsmen so why should the roar of the rugby crowd do that?

Yeah mush innit !!

It won't affect the batsmen, but it might affect the old dears trying to get an after lunch nap. Have you seen what they're like when the don't get their 40 winks, you'd need an elephant gun to protect yourself, isn't that right McF.

That could be right you should see the looks when someone has the temerity to answer their mobile phone.

Im sure there is a rule whereby the visiting team get X% of tickets available, anyone know what that is? But if we have been given 2500 and then the capacity is cut by Leeds (althought not their fault), then i dont really see why we should have to hand back tickets. If they had reduced it first and then gave us an allocation of say 1800 to 2000 then it would have been different. But to simply take tickets back of us through no fault of our own isnt fair imo.

I get what your saying but its the same for wigan non season ticket holders. What they should have done is wait until the capacity had been decided and then give us an allocation, but even then anything less then 2000 would be unfair imo.

Everyone's a winner then.

Thats the truth.

The old cynic in me thinks that if it is a sell out - El Presidente will persuade the "independent" safety team to suddenly allow a few thousand more tickets to be sold.

Struggling to think why this time is really any different from the two previous times this has happened, without the need for a capacity reduction.

Those who did not attend the Blackpool game need not complain at this decision. Those who did attend should have first dibs on tickets, season ticket holders or not.

I was hoping to get to this game, it being on a Saturday. I don't really understand the alledged health and safety issues. I know I wouldn't want a seat in the Paddock as at last years game that clashed with the cricket anyone sat there missed the first 10 mins of play.

I would give first chice to those who attended the Blackpool game too.

According the Rhinos website you will be able to sit in ANY area in the ground, but once the capacity reaches 10,000 it will be a sell out. Might be a bit odd if you're the only one sat in your section.

We just ordered ours (we sit in the Paddock, Row

and had no problems getting our season ticket seats.

What an idiot! I was trying to get rid of the guy with sunglasses and somehow managed to quote myself!!

Did you attend the Blackpool game?

Hrrrr-umph!

The away club is entitled to 25%, in which case Wigan have had the right allocation all along. This includes some North Stand tickets so the full stand will be open, not just the paddock.

explains why such an increase in the price from the last round...

and why the club have been so quiet about announcing when these tickets were to go on sale. After the draw, the club website stated news would be announced within 48 hours...5 days later still nothing, until after the wire game, when it was mentioned tickets had been on sale from earlier that day !!!!

Nice to see the cup bandwaggoners moaning about capacity

shame more of you weren't out to see such a spirited performance from Blackpool the previous round

Th North Stand where else would they go?

We went up to the office to get tickets today as we wanted to ensure we got our 'normal' seats in the North Stand and the ticket office was really busy.

which is the bigger lie?

Leeds didnt know that the quins game had been rearranged until 5 months after it had been rearranged

that the capacity of the rugby stadium is cut to 10,000 becasue of a cricket game when no such restrictions were required in the past - listening to Gawy he said it was for evacuation purposes, it's plain rubbish, if there was an emergency in one ground would the other game carry on?

No


As the emergency could cause panic to the other ground and if it was a fire it could spread

I'm sorted so don't give a flyin' fook as long as them Pie Eaters don't lob any more bog brushes.
