They have tickets now if anyone's waiting to ring. Just got mine.

Agree that Clough would be the most valuable returnee from injury for his work rate and refusal to take a backward step.

Not sure looking at Gaskell in the mpg is a fair comparison with now. He was carrying the hopes of the team pretty much on his shoulders, we have different options this year, maybe if fit a bench spot, although think with the heat will need 4 forwards there. Really glad it's not my call.

Re: Fev Game : Tue Jul 19, 2016 9:39 am  

I think the Gaskell call is actually very easy, not for me or other fans, but for Rohan Smith - who knows pretty much exactly where Gaskell is, both in terms of fitness, and in his head/attitude. If he is fit enough to play a substantial part, and plus if his head is in the right place, then you'd be pretty stupid not to play him. I mean, forget anything else, if it was down to you, and if you were confident that the real Gaskell would be on the pitch alongside Chisholm, then you'd have to be pretty bonkers to say, "yeh, but nah..."

Does anyone know how many tickets we have been given / sold so far?

We keep hearing this "sold our initial allocation" line but if the initial allocation was only 300 its not that big a deal.

It would be great to know an actual figure

Id imagine Its going to be absolutely bouncing on Sunday

Re: Fev Game : Tue Jul 19, 2016 10:25 am  

Bulls Twitter announced that 1000 tickets have been sold and more are being sent.

Re: Fev Game : Tue Jul 19, 2016 10:28 am  

@OfficialBullsRL:

"We are waiting for our next delivery of @InfoFevRovers tickets after selling over 1000 tickets in the last two days."

Don't seem to get the rub of the green with him.

1300 Bulls have sold according to Fev Twitter. Should be rocking.

One of the top refs and will hopefully ref it like a SL game which should suit us.

Within minutes of the final whistle at Halifax on Sunday, club officials were being asked about arrangements for this weekend’s game with Bradford. A large crowd is expected and Bradford, prior to the Halifax game, had already requested 650 tickets for the match.

By close of business on Monday, this figure had doubled to 1300 and a further request this morning means that taking into account Rovers season ticket holders and sponsors, 2800 tickets have already been allocated for this game. The game is not all ticket but in order to ease congestion at the turnstiles, the club is recommending that fans purchase tickets in advance.

Since its introduction, the Ticket Office in the car park has coped successfully with crowds with up to 3000. However, in order to ensure that everybody is inside the stadium for the kick-off, pre-purchase of tickets for this game is advised. Admission to the game is £18.00 Adults, £ 12.00 Concessions and £5.00 Juniors.

For this game, the club will be introducing a £2.00 upgrade for supporters wishing to sit in the Strata Homes Stand or 70 metre stand. This charge will be payable inside the stadium and fans who wish to sit in these areas will be given a wrist band to allow access and egress to the bars, kiosks and toilets. Due to the large crowd expected at the Big Fella’s Stadium, fans are advised not to change ends at half time.

There will be no additional charge for supporters who wish to avail of the seating areas in the main and community stands, although certain areas of these stands will be reserved for participants in the pre-match and half time entertainment , together with sponsors and hospitality guests.

Everyone involved with Featherstone Rovers is working hard behind the scenes to make this a successful day, on and off the pitch, and we thank you, in advance, for your cooperation.
