According to Rule on Blunderside we have shifted over 13000 tickets as of this evening. With this not including the walk-ups and away support it looks like 17-18k could be a possibility.

Evening.
Nice night for a stroll.

fantastic news! could we see the West Upper opened?

No chance.

Why?

not worth the increased cost involved, simple economics.

Pre match ticket sales always includes away support, although they will probably bring twice as many fans as the ones who pre purchase tickets, just like we tend to do

Is it a bigger game for Leeds than it is for us?

Only in respect that they will be wanting to put their Cup Final hammering behind them.

Leeds are one of the few teams who could cause serious damage from 6th spot IMO.

In fact I would actively encourage them to take it easy this week, rest a few battered body and minds and start a fresh the week after in the play offs.

I guess i was meaning 'SL champs to 6th' feels bad. For us it's an improvement anyway.

They would probably accept dropping a few places given that they got to Wembley I reckon. The fact that Wembley didnt go very well may see a wounded animal keen to make amends in the play offs though.

Either way, looking forward to Saturday now.

Its the ideal preperation for the play offs isnt it?

Should be a cracker.

I meant more for the beer than the rugby... either way its good preperation for the playoffs.

JJB and Clarkson out for Leeds along with Peacock/Burgess.

They will come out like lighting in the first quarter, but the weekend's game has surely taken a lot out of them both physically and mentally.
If we hold them, or take a decent early lead ourselves, I can't see them rising to their usual standards, [ionly if we let them. [/i

Come on you ulllllllllllll

We need to batter them in the forwards early to ensure that they don't get the chance to get a roll going, but we need to play better than we have for some time.

Defensively we need to be on the ball for the full 80 as Wire were (pretty much) and wrap the ball carrier up to stop them offloading. Leeds, like many teams, are a confidence team and if we let them get confidence early on by allowing them freedom to play they'll rip us a new one before half time.

Going forward I'm fully expecting our pack to dominate theirs giving Long, Horne and Berro/Houghton the opportunity to dictate play and get the ball wide to the centres/wingers.

If we believe and play to our potential across the 17, we can win this one easily.

Still could have a pack of:-

Kylie
Buderus
Bailey
Kirke
Ablett
Sinfield

Ali of the bench with Bibb and Amor or maybe bring Senior in the backrow or even play Diskin there.

So are you allowed to sit with the FC fans for this one?

Always, cheeky fecker

The two bummings we've had off Leeds this season should be motivation enough.
