In fairness to Cas they'll probably have about 60% of their entire population in the ground on Saturday. Leeds on the other hand will have less then 5% of theirs in attendance.

The only people left in Cas will be the burglars!

The only people left in Cas will be those with the electronic tags on their ankle's, the burglars will be in Wakey and Ponty looking for richer pickings.

Anyone know if the MUFC railway station will be open for the grand final? Northern Rail website has been saying "We will have further updates if the station will be open for this event shortly'... It's now Thursday!

Get the train to Victoria or Piccadilly in the city and then jump on the tram, which drops you off just down the road at the cricket ground.

Taxi from the South end of Deansgate is a good option, they line up at the side of Knott Bar. 5 min wait usually and less than a tenner to drop off in sight of OT.

According to this https://www.therhinos.co.uk/2017/10/04/ ... el-advice/ In preparation for the final, there will be extra services across the train and tram network with Metrolink providing additional capacity for the event at Old Trafford and Northern rail operating special match day services direct to the ground. Direct rail services will operate to and from Manchester Victoria and Manchester Piccadilly from West Yorkshire.

I don't know where this claim has come from about it being only the second GF to sell out (if it does)? My memory might be incorrect, but I'm sure the Bulls were half of three successive sell-outs in the mid-Noughties; vs Wigan in 03, vs Leeds in 04, and vs Leeds in 05.
Although, that was with the smaller capacity of 65,000, so unless they mean it's only the second sell-out since the capacity was increased

Yes you are correct i do think it was meant as in 2015 was the only sell out at the current capacity.

On that subject just been announced old trafford to be expanded to 88k capacity in the not too distant future. Cant see too many finals hitting that mark.
