Mini and I were just discussing it. He said that Saints had been pretty fortunate over the past three years with the draws.

I agree, If you go back to 2004 we had the top 5 form SL all away from KR so it's swings and roundabouts really.

Had a few nice home ties over last few though.

We are awaiting the RFL stepping in. There are issues the ground safety certificate and also the amount of season ticket holders each side has.

Keep your eyes peeled on the site.

Guessing that for the free tickeet ?

If the Grade A Stadium at Headingly isn't available due to concerns of crowd size and safety the game could always be played at Elland Road.

I can't remember the ruling but I think for a cup game they have to give Saints 25% of the tickets.

Something I suggested. But the combined ST holders are more than the capacity, plus the certificate only allows for so many away fans, again, less than we can take.

Well how many season ticket holders hae you got? If it's 8k you'll be OK as the ground holds 20,500 and we have 12k season ticket holders... give or take a few.

And the reality of it is all those season ticket holders will not go to the game for whatever reason, particularly the ones from Saints.

Travel costs, working, on t.v etc.

The difficult bit maybe that Leeds have to give 25% of their seating capacity up.

Is that feasible, i.e. how many seating season ticket holders are there at the two clubs?

FWIK saints have around 6.5k season ticket holders, and we have around 12k season ticket holders, if you bring all your 6.5k season ticket holders (can you see it), and im sure that most of ours will take it up, we should get a capacity crowd at headingley.

NOTE :- our away stand holds around 4k FWIR, so im sure that will be given some seating tickets.

Well it makes a change from Wigan having to go there. They are beatable at Headingley, we did it once last year, and twice the year before.

We will beat em' in the next round this year
