At least we are on the busy day, good chance of it selling out. 38k is about the level they sell on Saturdays.

Interesting that they've got the top 5 teams in terms of attendances on Day 1.

Fixtures look massively lopsided. Saturday could be a sell out. Good look on the Sunday though

Think would have leeds on the Sunday to fill the ground more as you'd expect them to have atleast 10k plus alone

Yep I agree the fixtures seem to have all the big hitters in terms of fans on Saturday with only Rovers and possibly Cas and/or Leigh turning up on the Sunday. Can see Sunday looking very empty given the lack facilities and possibility that not many fans will be able to sit through more than one game in the cramped seats even on the Saturday. Think a large number of fans will probably just go for their own clubs game then go home.

Think he's been on the Christmas Sherry already. With statements like that you have to ask if the people involved in the decision making of the sport are up to the job and on the current evidence I'd say its a definite NO.

roughly translated too....."this is the cheapest we could get, we don't care about fans opinions, so like it or lump it!"

I guess our last game at Elland Road was the Cup semi final replay in 1988? Beaten 3-4 by Halifax after the 0-0 draw at Headingley.
