Me & our lad were casually chatting to a middle-aged couple who were Bulls fans and she replied to a question about the attendance "it's not our fault if we all got free tickets" good grief, they sent tickets back that were free !!!!!
This professional game of RL is just a limping dog at the moment, that stadium should have been packed to the rafters & "sold out" signs posted on the ticket office windows within a week of the draw being made.
I think it's about time the RFL abolished the freebies tickets for season ticket holders, the 4th round draw was so lob-sided it was laughable.

The freebies in the CC is a joke as since when should my Halifax season ticket allow me to go to somebody elses ground and get in free in the last round and the same goes for SL clubs in this round? When clubs at our level should be getting a decent pay day they get NOWT, good old Fat Controller gets it wrong again as it hardly made much difference to the gate today did it???.

To me a better suggestion than the ST ' freeby ' should be a situation like we had a few years back at home against Warrington

They sold their tickets to their fans at half price , Leigh receiving all of that money , ie , Warrington didn't get any money off their own fans , as happens now , but they did get half the money of Leigh fans attending , as happens now , but Leigh received all monies they would be entitled to

Warrington fans got in cheaply ( half price ) which would hopefully be seen as a reasonable enough deal for them to attend in numbers , and Leigh fans paid to see their team take on SL opposition

Sounds a winner to me.
