Hopefully your fans decide to turn up...

They will......its the general public and non fans i'd like to see more of though. Our 5000 will be there !

We need far more than that really, its the rest of the town we really need to attract as anything under 10,000 will be a real let down but probably all we can hope for Im affraid.

Surely at least 10,000 will be there

To be fair with alot of youngsters having season tickets and them not needing to do anything but give a voucher in on the day we probably will get more but how many more is the million dollar question.

Good point, fingers crossed for at the very least 10k

Yes they did

So what's wrong with the Giants marketing? You have been consistently good for a few seasons now and the crowds are shocking. Good team, great stadium, one team town, I just don't get it.

Try watching all our games from May 2012 to Aug 2012 then come back with the answer.

21614 at the football yesterday...football is king here

@leedsrhinos
"Looking like huge following at Giants next week, have added more tickets available now until midnight for £8, sold out behind posts already"

good stuff, those that were thinking of coming will now watch it at home after todays performance.

well done to leeds, but should we really be surprised? they have the biggest support in the game and so really should be selling out.
as for us,knowing how fickle our lot can be I wouldn't be surprised to see tickets been returned this week

Judging by the size of the queue,s before and after the game there should be a bumper turn out

One returnee I'd convinced to come left at half time he was so disgusted, his new missus is a Bradford fan so he spent much of last year at odsal watching the Bradford players give their all - he wasn't impressed by the performance today- or by the fact the catering company ran out of good and drink by half time.

4000 tickets sold by Leeds. More expected as well in the next week according to twitter.

This is the problem with the newbies. They are not fans yet. The majority of our core support knew this was one we was likely to lose and wire have our number since TS has been their. We expect it and accept it and look to next week but newbies see the game as a loss go on a downer and we won't see them till we beat another 5 teams on the trot. The fans will be at the games week in week out just got to hope some newbies realise we are not the finished article yet and losses happen to all teams in all sports.
As for running out of food and drink well that's ridiculous!

Hope Leeds bring as many as they can. The fuller the stadium the better. Big place to fill and with the cameras rolling a bright, passionate atmosphere must be shown. But surely the majority would have bought the tickets while the offer was on rather than wait and pay more?

4000 by us so far.

Ok 4000 by us and 4000 by them. Then take into account all the under sixteen ticket holders that just need to turn up with their passes will add on a fair few I would think!

Also on money terms the clubs would have probably put this game at 15 quid and average attendances are about 4000 for this round so
15 x 4000 equals 60000
8 x 8000 equals 64000
Then take into account twice as much will be bought through the food, drinks, programs ect
Then the increased atmosphere with having a fuller ground!
Maybe not the ten thousand we wanted but still something that has worked to promote this game and credit the two clubs for trying to get this game to be a success!

From the Rhinos web site. Only 7000 come on you part timers.

Pricing from Sunday when the ticket office re-opens following Bank Holiday Monday will be: Adults and Concessions bought before 5pm Friday 10th May = £12 All under 16's tickets £3 Pricing on gameday will also remain discounted at £16 and £3 Giants Managing Director Richard Thewlis said: "The response so far this week has been our biggest for a cup tie in recent memory and around 7000 tickets have already gone between the two clubs. The Rhinos in particular have really latched onto the offer

looks like it could be a 10k crowd, that would be brilliant with it being on tv.

So currently we've sold around 4,000 an you've sold around 3,000. Should be on for about 10,000 on Saturday then

typical leeds fans, only turning up for the big games

bandwagoners

more of them that come, more of them to go home disappointed and more money in the pot .....keep buying em Rhinos
