Won't the South stand be being used for leeds fans who want to watch their women's team play?

In the old neutral semi final venue. So disrespectful it’s untrue!

They should have given one team the South Stand from the off, with the Western Terrace on open sale and for any neutrals etc. The other team gets the North & East stands. All tickets priced the same throughout the ground. Heard rumours of very low sales from us.

Just looked at the BBC2 schedule for tomorrow 12-00 Cleopatra film then Flog it and the RL at 4-30 just shows how the game is valued at the BBC what a joke .I'm going to match tomorrow got seats in stand but feel sorry for all who are the behind the sticks better venue would have been Huddersfield at least nobody gets wet.

A lot of fans put off by the Leeds away section no cover paying top wack to stand up and get wet.

Tickets are reasonably priced though, £20 for a semi final. Price can’t be the issue. They could have played the game at Huddersfield or anywhere covered and added a fiver to the ticket price and Wigan would have probably sold 2-3k more tickets.

Having said that, it’s frustrating that we don’t seem to travel well to SFs played in Yorkshire in general.

1. You going?

2. It's doubtful we've taken 15,000 to a semi in recent history (not sure 1950's-60's).

I was told around 4,500 from us a few days ago.

Hopefully plenty sold in the last couple of days and a few more may be encouraged after watching today’s game with a decent walk up. I know they are selling tickets at the stadium tomorrow. 6,000 wouldn’t be bad at all.
