Yeah I won't be applying for tickets

Good luck to people entering the ballot. As it turns out I have my second vaccination that day so I'll stick to watching the game on TV.

A shame as the semi can be such a great occasion if you win. Fingers crossed we''ll be scrambling for Wembley tickets in just over three weeks.

The RFL have had another shocker here. If they weren’t going to do this right, then they shouldn’t have bothered at all and just held it behind closed doors.

I just don't get all this RFL bashing.
I'm sure their decision making and validation will be based on more information then fans opinions on a message board.

Also this rule of 6 isn't a RFL ruling either but government guidance on fans return to elite sport.

Some people will never be happy or satisfied.
There's a product there to be watched at a venue that will both maximise safety and minimise cost.
It's your choice to attend or not based on the criteria set out.

Just caught a bit of the fa Cup final at Wembley and the bottom tier seams to have missed the social distancing remit!

Well in the case of the challenge cup semi finals they deserve all the bashing possible.
Did we have to have the womens final shown on the day NO
Did we have to have two semi finals at the same venue on the same day NO
Is the Leigh village with its 3000 limited capacity suitable for a semi final NO
Is the Leigh village central in travel distance for the semi finalists NO

It certainly doesnt maximise safety but is purely a cost cutting exercise by the RFL at the expense of fans with the RFL knowing it is on TV with the BBC which will mitigate the complaints.
My other criticism is where do the womens tickets go given its likely that the two finalists will be Castleford and St Helens

.... dear oh dear.

Completely agree. And and a good point on Cas and Saints getting extra tickets, I'd love to do a questionnaire on how much about the Women's game some of these new ticket winners know...

FWIW, the Headingley capacity for our game next weekend is 4000.

Is our Umbrella end open?

Kick the band out, there’s another eight places.

Doubt it as it will only be seating available as per government guidelines.

Give them a taste of their own medicine Chris, switch it to the KC, and call it our away game

My middle two lads managed to get tickets for the semi final v Saints.

I’m very disappointed with this whole situation regarding the choice of venue, and the planning of this, in my opinion it is outrageous.

The Challenge cup has seemingly been devalued and undermined once more, triple headers now, in one of the smallest of venues, It’s still the second best trophy to win, last time I checked.

It’s with a heavy heart I’ll give this one a miss.

I feel the same, a mixture of unfairness of location and the stupidty of mixing bubbles together in the ground (im not jabbed yet) means I'm giving this a miss, seems they have struggled to shift even the small number of tickets which is a shame for the game.

If they are going to do the double header concept next year then I'd rather they picked somewhere out the heartlands that is more of a weekend away as people might stay for 2 games if they are making a weekend of it. Bolton isn't an inspiring weekend away and while the ground is good its out of town.

I applied and heard nowt


I’ve had both jabs but if Monday’s anything to go by, maybe it’s best to miss out. The experience for me was dreadful and don’t mean just the game.

I might have got it wrong, they were chasing up applications which made me think it was going slow but maybe they just didn't want fans to miss the deadline.

I was quite happy with things on Monday but the West stand seems to be getting maintained better than other parts of the ground. The pictures of the dirty seats was a discrace

We will need a third jab for cholera, if the Allams gang don’t get some bleach down the KC toilets.

Saints through to the women's final against York. Ticketing arrangements for those clubs to be announced next week.

RFL just took £30 out of my account


Leigh Sports Village, here I come


Wonder who my new 5 bezzie mates will be, probably Saints fans, knowing my luck.

Don’t know about you but I take my own drink of water in bottle

Two of my lads are in East D

Row D, don’t know how they’ve organised the seatings allocation, it’s a bugger really, a few of the last cc semi finals, were great for us, Leeds Wigan, and even The Warry game we were close.

Beginning to regret not going now ffs.

Just got our email confirmation our of tickets, East F row C 109 & 110

Didn't realise we had been successful as 1st notification was an email today. East C C. Fantastic surprise!
