to be fair to the RFL, they always have to consider the prospect of a Aus-NZ final, which even Elland Road's reduced 32K capacity woulden't have been needed for.

yes I'd like to see England-Aus be able to have the biggest capacity possible, but don't forget this ground was booked months ago.

Which makes you ask the question why have we taken the game there in the first place!

A sh*tehole we cant even use all of! I hope us using the city of Manchester stadium for Magic is a sign of things to come.

Hold on im on leeds utds website http://www.lufc.talent-sport.co.uk/Page ... gn=&type=H and they are selling certain areas of the 2nd tier for a game against barnsley!

I hope they open the top tier otherwise we have undersold ourselves. Tried looking at tickets lats night but couldn't get on the website due to high demand.

I really wuld try and get Manchester City's ground in the future. Hull's pitch was in great nick last night, so if a Cahmpionship club can cope with an RL match in it, surely a club with a billionaire owner, where the average player eanrs 200k a week, can afford to have one RL match in November.

But i really hope we get the top tier open.

So, has no one else notice this happen with the Grand Final then; the top tier being closed for sale until the week before the match?

Instead of getting all vitriolic, why don't we wait and see what happens?

Ssshhhh, watching them getting all worked up is fun.

According to the Leeds Utd site there are only eight blocks in the stadium with 'limited' availability, the rest has sold out.

Makes a nice change to be worrying/moaning about there not being enough tickets left for a rugby league event. You could argue the RFL have undersold themselves and could of gone to a bigger ground, but I still think Elland road is about the right size. and had it not been England in the final, it would have been a poor attendance which has to be taken into account.

There now selling tickets in the East Stand upper at http://www.rugbyleaguetickets.co.uk Got to be a sell out hasn't it.
