Indication of slow ticket sales?

Only got mine and mate's yesterday and our usual North Stand seats were still available...

Shades of 2010 V Huddersfield with people keeping their dough for later rounds I suspect. Saints will bring enough away fans to ensure a five figure crowd, but I don't expect more than 12,000 and it could easily be quite a bit less.

Obviously those who saved their dough for later rounds in that aforementioned Huddersfield game ended up saving it altogether, but this time there's definitely at least one more game to come no matter what happens. The crowd V Huddersfield last year in this same situation wasn't great really, and would have been less if we weren't receiving the LLS that night.

You could be right as gates do seem to have tailed off in the second half of the season. But Hudds. never bring many supporters, whilst Saints are pretty close and generally well supported. I was thinking maybe 11k from us and 3k from Saints = 14k ??

Re: Play Off Ticket Information : Tue Sep 11, 2012 3:32 pm  

I reckon more like 9-10K from us and 1-2K from Saints.

Can't see many season ticket holders in the North stand being happy about forking out £20+ for a ticket, knowing that there will be at least one more game to come at home. Mind you, who can resist a game against Saints? Not me!

What were the bloody stupid team doing?

Not only qualifying for the play offs, but, in the top two and all, guaranteeing two matches!!! It's just all about the money

Especially when we will more than likely play Saints again in a bigger game two weeks later.

I got my East ticket today and the club were doing brisk tickets sales. At the most we only have got 2 home games left this season and I for one don't want to miss any RL before the Winter famine kicks in.

Yes, I am with you on this one.

I get fed up of watching rugby week in week out, so I am happy to miss this one. It's only Saints anyway and we know what the score will be. I can't wait for the end of the season really, then I can get my life back and have a bit of spare dosh to go shopping at Blue Water with the missus.
