Anyway....

Ticket sales! Any updates yet? Surprised that DW hasn't sold out yet but expect it will be pretty close. Leeds sounds like its sold a good few. Any news/rumours for Wrexham or Wire?

This other site sounds a bit North Korean to me. Still, lots of clapping I guess.

Ok Ok he said his piece, be nice.

There is bound to be a bit of cross competition between forums ( i am a member of 3) , but lets keep this about crowds. I think if we start derailing threads, to start comparing forums for RL then our status as an inward looking bunch is just about sealed for good.

Also there is a thread totally for the debate over average attendances, as it was threatening to derail this one a few weeks back and make anyone sane go insane.

I also agree with Jon we get people moaning about gutters and William when they post, but then when they go quiet the same people start baiting them to come back. I think it's one of those love hate things.

But back onto ticket sales. Has there been any news on the USA game, I'd imagine thats the hardest sell of this weekend.

Not sure I want to go to a forum where everyone agrees.

And doesn't Speccy's post breach the AUP for criticism of the moderation process

Just had an e-mail through pushing Fiji v Samoa, from farting about with the e-ticketing it looks like only around 2,700 standing tickets have been sold for it. Hopefully it's not a 'week 1 of the play offs' type round of attendances.

I noticed something a bit weird with that the other day. I looked one day and put tickets for the west stand in my basket and they were numbered around 3,000 and then a few days later they were numbered at about 500 so I'm not sure how accurate that way is.

I think we'll be surprised with one or two low crowds though. Looking at the availability for the DW (you can put umpteen tickets in your basket in all areas) I'm not convinced the sales are above 20k as rumoured.

I had the same with the south stand, on Monday it was showing as 2,000 odd, but 400 today.

I am reliably informed that sales for tomorrow are just shy of 21,000.

I'm not a member of Totalrl.com but enjoy reading it every now and again, especially when depression sets in after reading how poop the attendances, stadiums, pies etc are at our World Cup. They are certainly on the whole, more upbeat over there.

16000 at Leeds. Not bad not bad at all
