yes. I meant sharing wit other clubs in the league.

What are you on about? The money Leeds vs Saints will lose because of the free tickets? If so, how does the corporate side come into it.

Why do you think an all paying crowd for a televised 4th round challenge cup tie will draw 15,000 punters?

I hope so. At last the BBC will be able to show an early round tie at a packed stadium with a good atmosphere and a noisy crowd. It will do the game's image no end of good.

That's why I averaged the price out at £15.

The majority of tickets would sell at above that price.

I think both clubs will be expressing their dissatisfaction, particularly the one who loses.

From a Wigan p.o.v. we have 10,000 season ticket holders, Barrow has a capacity of between 6,500 and 7,700 (dependent on who you believe).

How will that work?

The Leeds v Wigan Cup crowds for the last two seasons were around 12,000.

I would expect that the "two best clubs in Superleague" could better that.

And as I said the £15 average ticket was way on the low side for Headingley.

It is a big loss in revenue, do you agree?

Probably but Leeds can afford it unlike Saints who I feel will feel the loss of the shared gate.

Any chance of having that in English and we might be able to respond?

We're on the march with Bluey's army
We're all going to Wembley
And we'll really shake em up
When we win the Challenge cup
Coz Leeds Rhinos are the greatest rugby team
