Club Wembley should be alright. I know of three people in (London) companies with large blocks or boxes of Club Wembley seats for all fixtures. I asked them about availability (looking for a freebie) for the Cup Final, figuring there'd be little interest within their companies (two banks and a fashion house). One of the banks is using their tickets for clients, the other two have effectively sublet & sold on their rights for the game to, I quote, "Northern firms". Not great for expansion, but it does mean that even Club Wembley likely to be full.

I think that Leeds being in the final might help the "Club Wembley thing" to be honest.

There are a lot of large financial, legal, IT groups that have offices and/or in and around Leeds - it wouldn't be difficult for some to use a CW seat as something of a staff incentive for the next week or so.

I was in a CW seats for the F.A Cup Semi Final 2009 United Everton, they are very good seats but it is in annoying how they always seem to be empty when you watch games at Wembley. I doubt CW will be full for the CC Final, but more so than it has been in previous years. Heading for a sell out according to the Leeds OS. http://www.therhinos.co.uk/news/14632.php

Last year's Champions V Last Year's Cup Winners

Even the RFL can't stuff that 'marketeer's dream' up.

I remember when the Leeds V St Helens final in '78 was the first sell out for a while back then as well. In the days when Wembley was restricted to 98,000 for the rugby due to the super-sized supporters compared to their football equivalents (100,000 capacity).

That is unless we are losing badly and it might distract the viewing public.

Had a gang of Ull fans a few rows in front of us last year. Had some banter with them but they just blended in with the Wire masses. Got the odd Yuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrksher off `em. They didn`t stay to watch Morley & Briers lift the cup, but on the way out they were shaking lots of hands and wished us a safe journey. So I`m sure we`ll have the same this year.

What block ya in, 520 me.

And what about those fans, who were going anyway and already had their tickets booked months ago.

Full credit to Lord Percy's foresight and landing us in the Leeds end ....

Thank you sir. Said tickets have now arrived, we're in block 540, row 13, which is basically on top of the screen at the Leeds end.
