Me neither. And they haven't had a home league game yet this year (since they were promoted) to judge it from.

Dewsbury will insist on playing at home and it is true that sl season ticket holders will recieve up to half the grounds capacity in tickets . by my reconing about 1500 tickets as Dewsburys ground capacity is just over 4000 but that is currently reduced owing to the ground not being reassesed for capacity following remedial work on the terraced stand a couple of years ago .the rest of the tickets will be available to home supporters first and then any remainder offered to the bulls . it certainly isnt ideal but dewsbury will not give away the home tie . how the bulls will allocate their quota i do not know but obviously it will be a problem . this season ticket scenario was agreed pre season and the clubs accepted that if any club had to visit a ground with a small capacity then they would accept the situation . I do not know if there is time for the capacity to be recertified up to 4200 but i will try to find out and post on here .

With respect to Dewsbury I doubt it is much over 1k perhaps not even that high.

Bummer.


Well if we have to pay, we have to. If it's first come first serve i'll be sprinting up to the ticket office.

Do Dewsbury season ticket holders also get free tickets?

I don't think so. I think it's just part of SL season ticket packages.

And you are 'who' exactly?????

And how do you know what we will or won't be allocated?

If that is the case, it would have been nice for the clubs/RFL to mention that when advertising it as a perk of purchasing a season ticket. I'd always assumed that if demand was higher than the capacity (which of course you'd have to check first how many season ticket holders would take up the ticket, some won't), then it gets moved. If that's not the case, and it is in fact how you've explained it, there's going to be some p*ssed off people.

The funny thing is, the free game in the cup probably doesn't sway anyone buy a season ticket. After this may potentially cause a lot of complaints, it may get re-assessed as to whether it's worth the hassle.

Aye,imagine that only 50% of the season ticket holders get tickets, that leaves over 3,000 without tickets............what on earth can the bulls / super league do to resolve this issue? Offer another ticket to a different away game..........?

The free game didnt sway me to buy but its a game I'd want to go to regardless and i am supposed to get it for free!

Dewsbury season ticket holders do not get in free as they had free admittance to the last round . in reply to am earlier poster it is irrelevant who i am but just take it that i am trying to inform you of the scenario as i understand it for informations benefit and not from rumourmongering .

Well lets just wait to see what either club 'OFFICIALLY' releases.

Not for this round. Championship clubs season ticket holders got in for free to the 3rd round.



I'd say you were about right with that, when we played London Skolars last year they brought litterally a handfull of fans and the crowd was just over 1000, although maybe there'll be a few more come for the occasion!



He's the Dewsbury Chairman's best friend, and he's right about us not giving up the home venue. Not sure about the ticket allocations though.

Bulls believe it's gonna be played there too, so I'm sure that will be true.

We'll just have to wait and see how it's handled.

Well Dewsbury are just childish if they won't give up the home fixture. They're not in with a chance anyway

That's just the initial release.

he 'big wigs' won't be at work at this time will they. It woun't be until at least tomorrow if not later we find out whats happening.

I would think Dewsbury would want to keep it at their ground and do their best to accommodate us but does it really matter as we are likely to out numer their fans regardless........

If it comes to it, i will buy my ticket directly from Dewsbury (just like if i actually was a rams fan)

im not sure about the number of tickets that will be allocated but it will be around the figure that i mentioned maybe more maybe less . "Official " news will follow . great second half the other night by the way , maybe you are on the road to renaissance .

Ditto.

Indeed.

Odsal or Tetleys, Bulls will be in the hat for the next round. If not, something is very very wrong!

I wouldn't think they could refuse Bulls season ticket holders a ticket and then sell them to anyone tbh. I would expect all Rams season ticket holders are entitled and first come, first served on the Bulls front. If we don't take up the whole amount, they then go on sale. But that's just my guess.

And that's what it is for all of us at the moment. Guesswork.

I'm not overly bothered if I have to pay or not, I just want to go to the game. Although obviously I'd RATHER get my free ticket.

If we lose this one, Macca's head would be wanted by many!!

I imagine Beaver and Lynch will be rested. Not sure if they'd risk resting Orford aswell, we'll have to wait and see.

Incidentally, I think priority should go to those fans who have been to the Dewsbury friendly for the last couple of years but couldn't make it this year for work related reasons.


Oh hang on, I fall into that category. Gimme my ticket!

Could start with a few youngsters with regular first teamers on bench to bring on for short spells!

Aye. I imagine G Burgess will get in the team with Lynch being rested, same with Olbison in for Beaver.

If you have a season ticket, you are entitled to a free ticket to this. End of really. Why would anyone have to go and buy one?

Well Dewsbury are just childish if they won't give up the home fixture. They're not in with a chance anyway



That my friend is in itself a pretty childish comment , Dewsbury may have a way smaller fan base than the bulls but do not be so condescending as those few Dewsbury fans are entitled to see their team at home after being fairly drawn there . to give up home advantage may be the best financial option but it would also be a slap in the face for the 800-1000 who have braved some pretty grim times over the years to follow their team . Just remember friend that if it wasnt for Dewsbury and featherstone primarily there likely would be no bulls now as when bradford northern went bust in the 60s with gates smaller than Dewsburys now these two clubs lent bradford nearly a full team of players and even gave them a strip to play in so the new Bradford northern could start the following season . do not be so eager to put down the little man as there but for the grace of god ................
