Another one for SE2 - couple of us in row H. Was one of the last remaining blocks to have pairs of £20 tickets available when we got round to booking on Sunday evening.

Got 2 tickets in L29 last night

L29 sounds like a postcode pudsey maybe

from all my visits to tradex many moons ago im sure its LS28

your correct LS28 ive just checked up my neice lives there

Does anybody know where i can get tickets? All sold out at RFL

I have read somewhere elso 30k sold so that means 4k left .maybe its now a sell out.try ringing Elland road for a long shot

Tried elland road aswell - only got £50 ones

On the website for some reason they are not selling the middle 3 blocks in the 2nd tier of the East Stand. Why's this?

If they have sold out all other areas so far then why not make these available?

its all to do with the construction of a hotel attached to the east stand.that is why the capacity is reduced

Wouldn't have something to do with the SKY big screen would it?

EDIT - Forget it, just noticed the above post.

Looks like it's pretty much house full then.

Can't wait.

Three of us in block L28. Couldn't get seats together but we're just two rows apart.
Heading for the Dragon Pub on Whitehall Road pre match.

Cracking.

Easy to be wise after the event but how good would it have been to have this at a stadium that held another 10-15000. I think there's a genuine belief amongst England fans that we will give them a game on Saturday. Nobody is shouting from the rooftops that we will win but for a change I think we can win.

I really believe that if we can pop our cherry in the final on Saturday the England team could really take off. It just takes one major win against the Aussies to give people the belief that they can beat anyone imo.

I look at our current team and theres some real quality in there and some good prospects for the future waiting to come in imo. I look at the England squad and the players and the pride is beginning to grow and even if we lose on Saturday I will definatley supporting England as much as possible in future matches. I hope we get plenty more games in the future.

This team has suprised me even with what theyve done so far. Some of the players have shown a level i didnt know they had and i hope we can keep the core of this team get better and better.

its been confirmed that shuttle buses will be running from sovereign street starting at 3.30,last bus 10.30pm.Sovereign street is under the Dark arches the Scarbourough taps faces right onto it .The taps looks like its going to get planty of custom,but there are lots of other pubs close by.

Are you over here?

Unfortunately not B ,I'm jealous as hell and annoyed with myself I came for last game against giants cos I was sure it was end of season ,but now I wish I had waited for this.I'm spitting feather's mate

What a shame we could have had that beer. Hopefully another time.

It isn't just the extra capcity, this game deserves a better stadium in general anyway. We could have got 50k+ at Old Trafford I reckon. Eastlands would have been perfect though.

It seems daft to play the earlier game at Wembley with 42k on and yet this is being played at a crappy stadium with only 33k on.

Anfield would have been another good shout as well IMO. ER doesn't exactly bring the extra publicity that the other venues do.

The problem is mate if England don't make the final the crowd would be down around the 18-20,000 mark and that would look pretty poor.

I suppose we should have more confidence in our ability though inparticular against the Kiwi's. We've beaten then in 10 of the last 11 games in this country so we always look likely to make these finals.

Saturday at the City of Manchester would have been great in a way because I think we'd have come close to selling that out but one thing it wouldn't give us that Elland Road will is an intimidating atmosphere. The Stands aren't close to the field like at Leeds and that could play a big part.

I hope the Aussies get booed at all points bar during the Anthem on Saturday.

Agreed, we should boo them as they warm up. Boo through their anthem. Whistle for their first set of six and ruin them when they are stood behind the goals.

Back to the stadium issue, doesn't ER look just as bad with only 20k on?

20k at Eastlands would pretty much fill the bottom tier. Wouldn't look too bad. Like you say, from now on we need to be confident we can beat either Aus or NZ and get to the final every time.

yes of course

I wouldn't boo the Anthem as that should always be treated with respect imo but at any other opportunity they should be getting it full on.

I like your idea of selling the bottom tier at Man City first. That would have an effect like the Wembley game and would look ok even at 20000. We need to move away from Elland Road as it's simply not up to scratch and the capacity seems to go down each year as Ken Bates wants to install more hospitality areas to make money from.

Somebody on the VT said City are installing a new pitch so they can stage more future events so that sounds promising for the future.

The city Manchester stadium would be great,but would Man city make it available at this time of year?they dont need the money like Leeds united do.Ive just though I also hope there is some adverse weather it may affect the Aussies,I know we have had games with bad weather before against them and they have still beat us,but we can hope
