Hope the last few thousand tickets are snapped up.

Whatevers left should be distributed to local armed services personel past and present today.

Must be sold out now, event no longer appears on RFL tickets page

Was just wondering why I couldn't check it... https://www.eticketing.co.uk/rle/detail ... emref=8480 Good sign I hope.

Are we sure it's sold out? I know the RFL has publicised the fact that cash turnstiles will be open on the day.

Actually, tickets are available online again.

Does any other sport get so wound up about attendances?

Don't get me wrong, I hope it sells out, but there's more talk about how many tickets have gone than the actual game itself on here.

Announcing the team would help!

Ellis out, Wilkin starts. Carvell on the bench.

This.

You always get a few angst-ridden souls making a point of telling us how worried they are / how disappointed they would be / how disgraceful it would be / etc if X game was not a sellout, or if they weren't at least Y 000. In RL alone, the hypothetical "low" attendance seems to strangely attract pathological worriers.

We also have similar troubled souls who will after a game, in all earnestness, report what the "real" attendance actually was, ignoring the actual tickets actually sold or the actual number of actual people through the turnstiles. Because "they know". They "can tell" it was never any more than X000, and no way was it as much as Y000.

It's as weird as it is predictable.

where that come from??

if ellis is out its a big miss

Just got back off holiday and expected all £20 tickets to be sold out. Went up to Red Hall around midday and had a good choice of £20 tickets left. Ended up right behind the sticks in the North Stand.

23,500 seats sold apparently, just under 2,000 left

Personally I think attendance is important and it is important how is looks on TV. Having 10,000 at an England International is embarrassing to our sport IMHO compared to however many thousands at Football and Rugby Union.

Spot on. They must know who's fit and who isn't by now.

I hate the fact that no one will name a bloody team until an hour before the game. Does it really matter if the opposition knows beforehand ? Declare your hand and say 'beat that'.

It does nothing at all for publicising the game or creating pre-match talking points.

There must be some 50/50 injuries he his waiting till the morning to decide upon,what would he gain from holding back his team? Anyway lets get behind the lads tomorrow and i for one wish them all the best,COME ON ENGLAND.

According to a post on the Hull forum the remaining tickets will be available on the gate. Only about 1500 left I reckon though.

Exactly, far too mnay people underestimate crowd figures. 10,000 at Leigh hardly inspires any major sponsors or publicity. Crowd figures are massive part of any sport and the ones who arent bothered arent the ones dealing with the finances/sponsors etc of the clubs. Low crowds just shows how far behind our sport is. 25,000 sellout at Hull should be no problem if we are serious about developing International RL.

£30 East stand ticket available if interested. Can be picked up in Bradford area or outside the stadium. Message me if interested.

Cheers

Just under 24,000 it has just said.

With the momentum that im sure will now be behind this final will the 2nd tier be opened on the big stand at Elland road

Haven't been to an England/GB game since a very one sided GB-NZ game at the KC in 2007...but it really felt like international RL was 'back' tonight, the atmosphere was far better than at any of the previous 3 GB games at the KC and for the first time in many years I have belief in our (mostly) young team.

I was unconvinced at the change from GB to England at the time, but having seen the amount of flags, chants and songs at the game tonight I am convinced it was the right move to push the International RL 'brand' forward.

don't think it will be, im sure leeds united dont have a safety certificate for the upper east as it hasn't been opened for a few years now

It was open in January for the game against Arsenal.

fair enough, but it didn't have a SC before, maybe bates finally his pocket

been on the rfl site and the upper west has no tickets for sale as of yet
