May explain why HKR always make that scaffolding stand reserved then.

I was hoping we would be at the Galpharm, like in 2001. I cant help but feel a sence of deja vu with us facing Wigan in Widnes while the following day Hudds play Saints at our gaff.

With both teams averaging over 10k, surely a venture to bigger ground would have been worth it, maybe Bolton. A lot of regulars will miss out.

Think it's a cracking idea myself, make sure those genuine fans get tickets rather than tom, d!ck and harry getting them.

Yes they do

It also means the RFL are making sure both clubs are missing out on revenue, you will always get people that don't attend many or any games that will come out for the bigger games.

Its such a shame they haven't chosen a bigger venue as I have 6 people who don't have season tickets that will be more than likely unable to attend. 2 of them have never ever attended a game and who knows they may have enjoyed it so much they would become regulars...

granted it was much further away and only qf but we only took about 900 to craven park

we would never take anything like 5500 away to wigan in superleague

the league game between us a few eeks back only drew 10500ish

i reckon it's spot on when you factor in how close it is...maybe a handful will miss out but compare that to doing it at, say, headingley/galpharm and i can't see us taking more than 5500 all that distance maybe knowlsey road might have been slightly better but can see why they prefer wids in terms of how crud kr is hahaha and as said it's too close to new season for most footy teams to let us use their places

Ta

Although i see were your coming from and i agree that the RFL should have picked a bigger venue, think about this.

JWP is on holiday until the 15th, he get's to most if not all home games but returns from holiday to find he cant get a ticket because there sold out. He then finds out that many tickets have been sold to people that hardly go the games if at all.

That doesn't sound fair so with the club doing it this way they are making sure that people without Season tickets who still attend a good number of games are getting looked after before those who have a friend of a friend.

i am surprised the tickets are on sale so quick. I would have thought that with the game being 9 weeks away they would not be on sale until start of July thus giving the likes of JWP and other holidayers time to arrange for people to get tickets for them or to post applications.

You getting your ticket tomorrow then Betty or have you got to wait for Mark to give you the all clear.

i'll be getting mine, Blackie & Platty's mate. I'll be there about 1730 after i finish work, it's nice of the club to stay open until 7 for me.

Not sure what Mark is up to, he hasn't spoke to me since i sent him 14 different jokes in 3 minutes about Man U losing the champions league final



maybe you can me my new bumchum, with JWP going to Menorca without me and Mark & Ian 77 in a huff

, i feel all alone

No problem Betty, i'm sure there is enough to go around, i'm in demand now a days with Wolfette, HJ Bird and now you but i'm sure ill think of something.

I need to pin you down in one place first, you always seem to be one step ahead of me or at least you think you are with the knowledge at your disposal

One of the few times that I don't want to be on Holiday in France, but I am, just have to watch it on the BBC, so no need for me to worry about tickets.

Taking it we've got a home tie for the Semi then ?? (OJ) Wigan chocked in last seasons Semi lets hope they do again ..

Do you mean the Catalans semi?

That was 2 years ago but i get your point. The only difference this time is if we lose it won't really be classed as choking because the games a 50/50 call with Wire favourites if anything unlike that semi when 99 people out of a 100 would have called us to win.

Should be a cracker.

The Huddersfield vs Saints game at the HJ, which team has the East stand? On the saints site it says they have the North and South stands, yet the Hudds site says they have the West and the north?

Sorry yes the Catalans Semi. It will be a decent game if both teams turn up and play there best rugby, I for one am looking forward to it and have just booked the day off to see this momentus day

neither venues big enough imo certainly not the hj i remember k/o was delayed due to the west stand being overcrowded

bigger stadium = no ticket worries at all...general lethargy

smaller stadium = ticket frenzy..and sell out

I'll be getting mine behind the sticks...roll on August!

Cant argue with that,
just think wire v wigan 1989 nearly sold out maine road,
Absolute joke to have it at widnes,someone as lost the plot...

saints new stadium would have been perfect for it. 18k, in the middle of both clubs. hope we will play a semi there when its finally built

Purchase by debit card over the phone (if you can get an answer) and show your season ticket in the shop. I do it all the time for my daughters' tickets for away games as I work away from home all week.
