It's not been very well thought out has it.

to be fair, the only major issue is the Wigan / Barrow one - all the other games will be able to accomodate all season ticket holders.

Leeds and Saints will complain about the lost revenue from what would have been big gate receipts, but they agreed to it and knew there was a chance it could turn out that way.

All the games will get bigger crowds than they would have done normally, and although revenue will be down, the clubs have got a good marketing opportunity on their hands.

Suppose not all season ticket holders at Leeds can go. Then those tickets which have been up-loaded onto their card have been wasted. when there could be people wanting to buy one.

Presumably Leeds find that very real risk a small price to pay for not having to print over 10k tickets and then have to exchange them for the vouchers.

This was my first thought too.
How many season ticket holders do you have. I'd guess 8 000, so if I am correct, and you all turn up, you will more than fill the Western Terrace which would look brilliant on the TV.

I'd say it's closer to the 6k or 7k mark.

our away stand holds around about 4.5k imo, and you will have been given a certain % of seating in the North stand i think.

I doubt we'll sell our 5k allocation anyway. I'd expect around 3k, anymore would be a good turnout.
