What do we think will be the attendance at the weekend then? Bearing in mind England play at a sold out Huddersfield earlier in the day I think a realistic attendance would be around the 10k mark. If England weren't playing I think we could have been looking at 14k.

Well they have opened up the East stand due to demand for standing. So it's either a ploy or the West stand is close to selling out.

I think demand for the game will depend on how Fiji play tonight, if they can offer the Aussies something, like the Samoans did to NZ, then the people will come.

It would be good to see the crowd over 10k, but I'm a bit worried about that given the lack of PR about the ticket sales. A lot of the other games, Huddersfield, Rochdale, Warrington had announcements about milestone sales and then sold out. I don't remember seeing any mention of ticket sales at LP.

If you are in any doubt about going, get your tickets now. There are still discount codes that work and get you 50% off. I went to the sold out game at Warrington and it was sensational as a viewing spectacle, far more entertaining that watching Saints.

Does anybody know of any discount codes still active for this one?

'DANCE' was still being advertised on the world cup twitter feed a couple of days ago.

A lot of those announcements for other games where made up or best guesses by fans and pundits.

'chant' worked for me today.

Disappointing that England are on the same day. Can't see many people going to both, and with 24k~ going to that game we can only look on with envy at the likes of Warrington who have had a free day to market their game (basically).

Aussies should be a big draw though, so we should be looking for at least 12k.

Shame it's the only fixture at the ground and it's been put on an busy day.

Ive just bought 2. Come on Fiji

This is the semis

I was at the NFL game @ Wembley and in the match day programme there was a full page add. For a discount use 'NFL' as the promo code for semi-final tickets online and phone orders.

Just bought two for the West Stand at £5 each using the code BOC. What a bargain!

so have i. BOC works at 50% discount. my ticket numbers were in the high 600 so i guess less than 2000 tickets less.
i wanted 3 sitting down, but they only could give me 3 in the north stand at the £30/£40 price range.
Come on Saints fans. Wire set the bench mark with 14965.. can you beat it....?
Another sell out would be fantastic for our sport.

You must have got the last ones, West is now sold out.

The ticket master website is a bit strange. I'm not entirely sure why at Saints there are 2 sections of the south stand open that are miles apart, whilst the rest of the south stand it closed.

The Catergory 3 tickets are not on sale and the sections are highlighted. Whether that means they have sold out or whether that means they are not selling them is anyone's guess???

Saints are saying blocks C, E, G, have sold out but they seem to still be on sale. Blocks B,E,H, seem to be the sold out blocks.

A great turn out at Saints

It was a very good attendance considering the weather was so bad, the game was 8pm on a Saturday night plus the England game at hudds was just few hours before the Aussie game.

I've been few World Cup games already but tonight IMO was the worst. The didn't seem to be any pre-match entertainment and nothing but a kids game of tick and pass at halftime.

I think we could have put a better show on.

It's the coldest I've been at a game for a long time!

Yes strange that, I tried getting tickets near my season ticket seat in the south stand but they were not for sale, i looked across and all those not for sale seats were empty. Don,t know if it was a club or RFL issue, or maybe ticketmaster have dropped a clanger.

It's the old "make the stadium look full" tactic.

The tv cameras face the north stand. They try and make the north, west, east full as they are shown on the tv. The south is hardly shown.

Just over 14000 the attendence

14,137 I think think they announced which is very good crowd with the weather plus it was 8pm on Saturday night and also on the same day as the England match.

Quite a few Hull Fans around me in the west stand, Respect there for travelling for 2hrs in this weather

Its the best crowd where neither of the teams has been playing on home soil

I was the opposite. Cladding kept me warm (ish) and dry in the west stand.

I sat in the seats in front of the box in the first half and was pretty warm. The 2nd half I met up with some mates and slummed it in the west stand and I was froze!
