The game isn't for over a month so there's no real rush

There may be when the RFL are looking to give Hull some of the ticket blocks that had initially been allocated to Leeds but haven't been taken yet.

This is the problem, you can't know how many tickets the opposing teams are going to sell until later on. Sure you could wait but what if they are all gone for where you want or completely sold out or as per usual somehow leaving odd single seats because of the way the tickets are allocated so you can't sit next to each other.
if this is going to be the usual turn out by supposed best supported teams (Wigan hardly brought any last year) then they might as well just give the best away supported team the home draw.

So that's us pretty much isn't it?
All of East for FC and North stand for Leeds on a sunday afternoon, easily 15k+ and Leeds would have brought the same amount as going to keepmoat.

Or maybe be revolutionary about it and have a semi-final double header, £30 a ticket, hold it at somewhere central with a good stadium and entire package for the matchday. Both games back to back would increase the interest within the game and maybe encourage new fans to go along for the spectacle, it would push up the crowd (especially from a neutral perspective) and the TV audience would be treated to a double header of games that actually mean something as a combination (so long as the BBC would allow their whole BBC 2 afternoon to be dedicated to it instead of their usual rubbish)

Now allocating tickets in w24 which is right down near the Leeds end. I hope we don't end up with fans mixed in together

Do you know how many have been sold Jake? Seems odd we'd get that allocation.

Why? No segregation needed at RL games, we don't need to go down the football route, surely?

No idea that's just where the tfl are allocating tickets from the link on the club website

Given that the City fan got a 3 year banning order for throwing a bottle I hope anyone thinks long and hard about starting any trouble.
