Yeah I'm not saying they should have given us more tickets. I wish they had, but I agree they didn't have to.

I just think "coming out of the woodwork" and "you'll be back to 400 next season" jibes are a bit petty when quire clearly a semi final is much bigger than a regular season game and of course people who don't necessarily go to every away game will want to go to a semi if they can.

The whole ground IS sold out apart from the recently erected temporary south stand which holds 1,000. There is a decent chance this will sell out also.

Last week v Leeds the new south stand sold out completely.

Warrington allocation is in the North stand. There are 5 sections A-E and usually the away team gets A and B which is 800 seats. Earlier in the season Warrington were only able to fill about half of this so maybe 400 at best. This time Warrington have got A-C which is 1,100 (100 empty for segregation) resulting in some Rovers season ticket holders having to move to the temporary South Stand.

It would be a risk to have Warrington fans among the temporary south stand which is also in the Craven 'Streat' food & drink area..Should that have happened and trouble were to break out I'm pretty sure Hull KR would have been held to account.

Rovers have been turning people away week after week this season but the away section of 800 is usually half empty or less. It's great that even with an extra allocation Wire will fill their allocation this time. The atmosphere at CP has been electric this season and with so many Wire fans that is only likely to increase.

For years Rovers have averaged between 7 and 8 thousand but these last 2 years there is a whole new generation of supporters and suddenly the ground is not big enough. The club is putting in an extension the the East Stand for 2025 which will help.

But most likely you will be back to 400 or so away supporters when you return to CP next year. Am I right or am I right?

Not picking a fight and it's great that Rovers will take 2,000 or more to your place. I seriously doubt that your club would want to do anything to reduce that number next season.

As for the game it's too close to call. If you should progress at our expense I'll be cheering you on in the final. Anyone but Wigan surely?

Still loads of tickets left in the East Stand and South Stand as of this evening. I don’t think it sells out.

They better sell out or else a certain clergyman might be getting of his drinking chair and clonking someone over the head with it

1 ticket in the east stand is “loads of tickets available” now is it!? What is this desperation? Do you want to be on your own in our caldron of a main stand as a wire fan? I doubt it.

Also appears to be only a very small handful of tickets left for the south stand.

There was less than 50 tickets left this morning (as reported in local news). At least most fans on here get it? I would get the frustration if there was thousands of tickets left and we couldn’t fill our ground, but this is simply not the case is it.
