62k tickets sold already as well as 20k pre sold by Wembley. Doubt there'll be many empty seats.

Link?

If anyone is interested i have two spare tickets available in block 510. I purchased these in a promotion from the RFL some time ago for 10pound each, the block usually sells for 21pound each.

PM me if interested.

Can post out or perhaps meet in Brighouse or at Wembley.

ATEOTD the number of fans we take will not win the cup, If the mighty Giants go out and play like they can play then all the people who have bought tickets could witness a piece of history in the making.

All those who have chose not to bother will wish they had bought the tickets and supported their local team.

It's been a long time since the cup was brought back to the birthplace of Rugby League and it would be a fitting tribute to the way the team has performed this season and to rerward the hard work and backing of Ken Davey and the board.

I know that our £76 & £61 section sold out very fast. The £61 were down to single seats by the Tuesday after the semi and I know this for a fact. Would we not have received another allocation for this pricing range given we'd virtually sold out of them in two days?

Exactly Dan - they probably got some more of these --and I know for a fact they got some more £51 tickets cos a mate o mine got em Wednesday

Had to get an extra 5 £61-00 tickets in adjacent block via Red Hall --and I`m sure therell be many others -- They all add to our support
ATEOTD does it really matter -- the faithful will be there as Daz says however they make it!!
C`mon the lads!!

It says in t'examiner today that we have sold 200 less than Saint Helens had at this point last year. Whatever that means and they had 3 more weeks to sell them.

Well that's encouraging at least.

the problem we have is we have so few "old " supporters... if town get to wembley they have generations of fans who have watched them, loads who have not been for years but will go to wembley, at fartown it wasnt that long ago we had a few hundred fans watching games and then we had 4 years of super league at the bottom. so we havnt got that same history for our fanbase..

we will still take plenty of fans and i hope all those that are going do the claret and gold proud

If it's any consolation it would appear the casual fans are non existant in our town as Town play Newcastle tonight and have struggled to sell their 7500 allocation in fact only half of that have been sold whereas a few years ago they took well over that number to Middlesbrough to watch a 5 nil massacre.

Interesting also the people the Examiner have found to interview their hopes for the final how many are actually going!!

As Everyone says at least the regulars are going and they're the one who matter!!
