I can only surmise that you think the Kiwis, 'Roos etc play in the Super League.

I can't think of another reason why you feel the cost of a domestic club season ticket has any bearing on an international match at the same ground.

Big difference between watching Huddersfield and your country against the world champions.

The prominence RU is given contributes greatly to their ability to shift tickets.

To those who could be bothered going: [url=http://www.superleague.co.uk/article.php?id=15893WE were awesome[/url

“The crowd were awesome,” Peacock told the Gillette Four Nations website. “They’ve been great for us and they need to be great for us again next week.

“If we can get 30 or 40 thousand inside Elland Road and get them behind us it’ll be fantastic.”

Glad he's mentioned it - thought it was terrific how the crowd got behind them when NZ forced a couple of GDO's in the second half and gave them some real encouragement. Excellent atmosphere in the scoreboard end.

Yep it was pretty good in the opposite stand too

Thought the atmosphere was rubbish, as it is with most internationals. Wish that stupid Leeds band would stay at home too.

should of been at least 20,000 for this game, dissapointing

seems the rfl would rather see empty blocks of £50 seats than get them full for £25!

anyway onto next week... now this should be a sell out!!! time will tell.. ill be there

i thought 19000 was a good crowd really. I have been to all 3 england games this 4nations and i think that was the best atmosphere of them all. Everyone was behind the team for a change.

best England atmosphere for ages. But yeh that damn band need to be silenced!

I was sat in the upper tier of the 2 tiered stand behind the posts and thought the atmosphere was rubbish but then watching it again on the tele it sounded pretty good.

I'll not be bothering sitting up there again.

Where were you sat? It was fantastic behind the sticks near the big screen!

I was there too. My poor Kiwi mate took a lot of grief, serves him right for turning up wearing a pegiun suit. Crazy ass Kiwi!

Perhaps its the band making people stay at home



On the ticket pricing do what I do,get a ticket for the cornor wait until kick off walk to middle sit down on empty seat

In the stand opposite the atmosphere was really good. It was the best atmos I've seen at an international for ages.

Those that couldn't be ar5ed going really missed a treat.

Absolutely, i just think that the price was a bit steep for the galpharm despite the importance of the game. there was a clear indication last night that other people agreed with the large empty strip of £50 seats in the britannia stand. I was sat in the 2nd tier of the riverside stand and i thought the atmosphere was awesome, particularly behind the goals.

Well seeing cheaper blocks of seats werent sold out either I cant see what difference it would have made.

i went the stoop, was sat in the cheap seats in the south stand and there were a load of empty seats, whereas the more expensive ones were all sold ?

Snap.

I was sat a block away from the band and they were seriously annoying. However, more annoying was the Bald, Massive Wakey fan with a voice that could pierce any eardrum he wanted. Seriously, why do these people go, get drunk and be prats?

Weren't they? The two tier stand looked full bar maybe the odd seat, and the scoreboard end seemed pretty packed from where I was sat

the cheaper tickets behind the posts were pretty near full imo

Decent attendance for a game v NZ. Im inclined to think we'd draw bigger crowds in a proper RL town. Hudds seem to get games because of its location, but id rather have the games at the JJB and KC.

There were gaps all over the place, particularly in the touchline stand (where the cameras are). There were gaps in the other stands too including both stands behind the sticks which definately werent completely full. There is no way that all of the 5,000-6,000 seats that were unsold were all in the £40 or £50 category. I can understand the expense argument if all the £10 and £20 tickets were sold but they weren't.

We made a day out for the game, visiting The George Hotel and meeting a fair few of the elders of the GG. Enjoyed all the memoribia that Stevo has managed to accumulate for our perusal.
Then away to our seats in the Panasonic stand which was practically full to bursting as were the stands to our left-(Fantastic) and opposite. The only stand that seemed to have many seats empty was the stand to our right- is it called the .................? Even the noise of that dratted drum band was drowned out by the fans cheering ENGLAND, ENGLAND to cheer our lads on to a great win. I' m hoping that those same fans will all be at Elland road along with me to cheer the lads on to a great victory against those aussies, whoever Tim S. picks to face us.
Remember Tim, your lot never managed to win the World Champs on your own, relying on the offcials to save your reputation (who pays the piper calls the tune, eh)..but do your worst Tim, We, the people who count know the score, and our lads will turn your lot over in Leeds despite the attempts of other sources.

COME ON ENLAND, COME ON ENGLAND, lets see a proper game to end this season........grannyfan Cindy.
