I remember before Wembley last year the RFL website said "Warrington or Catalans" on one side of the ground so we knew which end we would have.

We're probably gonna go the Grand Final whether we get there or not, and can buy our tickets next week because if we're playing Huddersfield, Leeds or Catalans we'll obviously prefer to be in their end V Wigan or Saints anyway.

All blocks currently appear to be on sale on the RFL website, so does anyone who has bought them regularly before know when they announce who has what end?

I think they get announced after this weeks game ...ie...when it comes down to "a or b"

Presumably if Saints get there, they will have their "usual lucky" end

Shouldn't the Top seed get the Home Dressing Room?

I think Leeds have had the East/K Stand for all their finals, which will mean Saints had the Stretford End for at least three of theirs.

As I'm expecting us V Leeds and Saints V Wigan to be the semis I'd be happy with that holding true. Tickets in the normal away end at United games are £26 and £31 on the RFL website. I've been in the East upper teir for the FA Cup this year and FA Youth Cup in 2007, and that's good if you're on the first few rows but a bit far back if you're not. Only £21 up there though.

I don't think it's right that just because teams like Saints and Leeds have been to Grand Finals before, they somehow have a god given right to the end of their choice.

Doesn't make the slighest bit of difference anyway - but like I said the Home (Larger) dressing room should go to the highest remaining seed after the Semi-Finals.

Saints have had the Stretford End for the last 4 years correct. Whilst Wigan were in the East last year. I reckon and hope whoever wins our game gets the East end.

Leeds have been in the East for everyone of their recent GF's

I know they have, hence me saying Saints have been in the Stretford End mate.

If Saints get there they will get the Stretford End, If Wigan get there we will get the East Stand (I'm only mentioning those 2 teams as they contested the final).
It's stadium/RL/H&S policy to allocate the same end to a team if it gets to the final in consequtive years.

If it's Warrington/Saints - You'll get East Stand
If it's Warrington/Wigan - You'll get Streftord End

Warrington v Leeds (From what I was told they will allocate a team that's previously been to the End where they are most familiar i.e Leeds = East)
Warrington v Catalans/Hudds - They'll get an RFL official with plenty of time on his hands as he only has maybe a dating website to update to flip a coin.

Well if the RFL are planning on allocating ends before the semis that theory will be blown out the water if one semu is Saints V Wigan as they will be allocated one end, and the winner of our semi will be allocated the other.

If Leeds win and are picked by us, as I expect, then using logic - Saints are in one semi and always have the Stretford End, Leeds are in the other and always have the K Stand - then the winner of our semi will be in K, and if Wigan beat Saints they'll be switching ends from last year.

I know what you mean about the policy, and I thought that was the same with Wembley as we were in the same end twice etc. However, this year Leeds were in the other end than what they were in when they played us in 2010. Strange.

Just announce it after Sundays game, Wire semi winners one end Saints semi winners the other, rocket science it isn't, it doesn't matter about previous years, do they think people are so stupid that they can't find a seat?

Do you really want us to answer that question?

Bump.

Anyone know how soon we're likely to find this out now?

We're defo going anyway and we're happy enough to be in the Leeds end V Wigan or Saints if we lose on Friday, so I'm getting tickets as soon as the decision on ends materialises.

It's on the RFL's ticket site.

Winner of Warrington v Leeds is at Eastern end

Winner of Saints v Wigan gets western end

Smashing as that's the lucky end and doesn't have hospitality seats bang in the middle like the West.

I can't see that. Do you have a link?

Team Allocations

The Winner of the Warrington Wolves vs. Leeds Rhinos Semi Final will be allocated the East half of the ground.
The Winner of the St Helens vs. Wigan Warriors Semi Final will be allocated the West half of the ground

on 'buy tickets for grand final page'

Durrr.

Sorry for that.

The ground holds 77,000+ im not Bothered if i am Stood on Jaffa crate as long as i can see the bleedin pitch..

The concourses etc are far better in the east. The Ones in the Stretford End are very small. The usual away corner are is though.

I'm just waiting for my mate to text me back confirming then I'm gonna book. The whole end is currently available but it wouldn't feel right going into the heart of the MIB's K Stand, so the normal away end it is.

I've been in there plenty of times and the spec and concourses are fine as long as you go in the East Stand and not the little block in the South Stand next to it which is worse and more expensive.

*EDIT* Booked now in block E233.

Yes, because some people are.

Went to see Jimmy Carr at the Parr Hall on Saturday. A couple sat down in the seats in front of us, then a little later another couple turned up with tickets for the same seats. After much umming and arring they realised that couple number one were in the correct seats, just the wrong day. Their tickets were for the show he is doing there on 19th November

Thats a perfect view from there. Did you have the option for that block or was it pot luck, will book soon myself.
