Great stuff! should be an electric atmosphere.

Great news! Should be a cracking match as well

I actually cannot wait. Just hope Leeds don't batter us

Sold out with 4 days to go, glad to be a part of it. The RFU have probably helped it sell out, goes against all they set out to do in trying to disrupt it with their huge match against Uraguay haha

Bad planning the RFL should have made a full day of it and invited the RFU to put on the England v Uraguay as pre match non-entertainment.

Really great news, great day for super league, can someone just clarify something for me though? I saw the totalrl article said it was sold out and over 73,000 will be there. Well I know that old Trafford holds 75,000 so do they reduce it for rugby or is that simply just a nonsense sentence?

Is a mixture of the room taken up by the big screen and Nigel Wood.

stage for the band/DJ in one corner of ground among the seats, the area for the big screen all eats into the capacity

Think there's still a few individual seats left, the capacity of Old Trafford I'd 75,731, I think they have to reduce this slightly for the grand final due to putting 2 big screens in the ground for video ref decisions. Think the capacity for the grand final is just short of 75,000 but don't quote me on that.

Great to see a Rugby League club match with a higher attendance than a World Cup England Rugby Union international match. Lol.

.

Pleased to see it's sold out, the game deserves it.

I just hope it's a tight game, Leeds must be slight favorites especially now their nemesis Jimmy Child can't halt their progress towards world domination.

Ah didn't think of screens, anyway, an incredible attendance, we need to keep up the good work in the future, I mean that attendance is only going to be 8-9,000 les than the NRL grand final!

I reckon it will be one of the closest finals ever, score back and forth, end to end play and it will come down to a missed conversion, leeds by 2, thats my prediction, gonna be a memorable one.

I'll believe it when I see it. Smells like BS.

Why would they say it if it wasn't true? It would stop potential fans from wanting to purchase tickets.

It seems like every RL event its said that "tickets selling well, or nearly sold out", then in the ground, or obvious to TV, are banks of empty seats......

This.i can't remember ever seeing the RFL come out with the sold out signs only 3 days after the semis and 5 days before the final.Bit of a foolish thing to do really if you have blocks of seats still to sell.

haha, exactly.

Typical mentality of some RL supporters. Good news story of a first ever sold out Grand Final & some fans rubbish it.

We're our own worst enemy.

Feel free to. Had tremendous hassle securing a ticket on behalf of my useless brother on Sunday. A chance for revenge presented itself though....he's seated 2 rows in front of the Headingley band - a fact I've neglected to point out to him thus far, despite his hatred of it



Seriously though, I'd be surprised if it [iwasn't[/i sold out.

People just have to put stuff down don't they. I remember for the 2013 world cup how they were saying it was selling well and we all thought rubbish, I assume cos we were comparing to the previous travesty of a world cup in this country. I turned up at for the Fiji game thinking there would be like 10,000 or something and there was 25,000, turned out to be most successful world cup ever so they were right with those predictions.

Hardly far fetched to think the best 2 supported RL teams in the country playing each other in the GF for the first time since 1998, in a 50/50 game, with the added fact of it being the last game of the Leeds legends,played a ground down the road from both clubs, could sell the stadium out.

Is anyone else still waiting to reciwve there tickets? Still not got mine.

Well there's still tickets available through the RFL website...

As of five minutes ago it technically hasn't sold out. I rang the RFL ticketline and bought three tickets for a friend without any problem. There was a choice of stand as well.

BUT, if it's going to be more or less full, WHY THE HELL NOT use some propaganda to try and stoke some publicity? After all none of the press are going to spot the 500 empty seats, as they'll all be at City's ground watching Uruguay beat England (Or an England side freed from the shackles of Sam Burgess destroying the 5th best side in the entire galaxy in front of 112 trillion viewers in Uruguay alone) won't they!

I bet it's quite lively round Manchester on Saturday night, what with the Rah Rah's coming to town.
