Wonder who at the RFL decided to host a triple header and severely dilute each teams ticket allocation in the process?
The maximum we’ll be able to get in for it is 10,000 and that’s if it were at somewhere like Anfield or the Etihad. Most probably it’ll be at Bolton again, where we’ll only get 4,000 or 25% of capacity in at most.
Surely taking that into account playing it at separate venues or over two days would’ve been better, therefore giving more fans the chance to attend?
Each team will be lucky to get 1,000 tickets because of the triple header decision. Terrible move.
Capacity limits are based on the lower of 25% or 10,000 of seating capacity only, so Headingley would not be a good choice.
Huddersfield would be the logical choice as its central to all teams and all seater, but would only mean a capacity of c6,000.
We could get a max 10,000 if they held it at Elland Road, Eitihad etc
Sensible decision would have been to hold both semi finals across two days, with Women’s game on the Saturday semi final.
No doubt logic won’t apply with the RFL and they’ll hold the games at York or Leigh and celebrate a packed house of 2,000 fans.
