Challenge Cup Final

[casjunction]

Not being a season ticket holder
I have resigned myself to watching the match from my armchair.
I would be extremely grateful if those of you are lucky enough to get a ticket would do me and many other a big favour on our behalf
Be Loud
Be Proud.
COYF.
Thank you.

Looks like I'll be following suit Junction so I'll echo those sentiments. Coyf.

So we find out at 6pm what the rules will be.

It said on radio a while ago it will be better news for sporting venues.... as higher gates will be allowed with proof of vaccine or tests.....

Hopefully this may be good news.

So there you go, lockdown stays for another 4 weeks.
Time the RFL come out and tell us what their ticket plans are.

"The RFL will hold talks with Government and Wembley officials in the coming days to determine what the four-week extension to restrictions means for the crowd for the Challenge Cup final, due to be held on July 17 - two days before restrictions (supposedly) end"

That's from Aaron Bower

Or depends how football does as i put on other thread amazing cricket could have 18000, football will get bigger crowds depending on how far we progress. This virus is amazing seems to only effect when govt says so test events indoors showed no surge in results. One of my aunties daughters (not real aunt always called her aunt since childhood for those who know me) who works at midland hospital had 20 patients now have 33 so calling it 61% increase even though population covered by hospital is nearly quarter of a million

Seem that there's talk it could be a test event with England/ euro games and Grand prix and Wimbledon. Could be half capacity

Semi and Final of Euros

45’000

There’s absolutely no reason ours will be less than that

45,000 should see us given a good 8000 to 10000 each. Plus a couple thousand to Fev and York then 20,000 for RFL to sell. Fingers crossed we get greenlight for this.

I think the RFL have already sold 19,000. Not sure if that includes the ones carries over from 2020.

[Swagger]

So Wimbledon are allowed to run at full capacity for the finals.

RFL better get sorting this!!!!

[Lofthouse Tiger]

Based on the figures mentioned and the fact that the RFL are having talks with Wembley and the Government does anyone feel confident the number of tickets available will increase?

I can’t see how they won’t be looking at what is happening with the football. Even a test event at 30,000 would be much better. The size of Wembley should make it easy for social distancing still at higher figures.

Come on RFL do something to improve things all round.

[casjunction]

RFL and negotiations!
We could end up with less tickets.
These are the people who negotiated the spectacular deals with Eddie Stobbarts and Papa John.
Whatever the outcome Cas are at Wembley.
We are playing our nemesis.
I really hope as many of the fans of all the clubs involved get a ticket.
Singing Sweet Caroline at the end of the 80 minutes never seems so good.

[Robbo]

50% capacity agreed. Much better

[Lofthouse Tiger]

Let’s hope it is somewhere in that region Robbo.

Nowt on challenge cup then.

Just to correct you wimbledon as been granted full capacity for all 4 semis and both finals that's virtually 15,000 who could all be indoors if weather means roof as to be closed. While wembley staduim as one of biggest roofs for air to ciculate at almost 120x80 metres and on it's site says roof is 430,000 sq ft. Why is it that posh sports seem to be test events cricket, wimbledon even royal ascot was given phase 2 capacity of 60,000 over week this week. Told you 3 weeks ago about wimbledon would be given test status as also told you football pressuring for bigger capacity if England progress hence boris slipping in may be reviewed in 2 weeks hence covering his back. So once again rl will find out via what football can achieve, why wimbledon given test status in small arena, why not for instance say super league round 11 not test status with full capacity don't forget a lot of crowds have open ends. We have one and half sides open other grounds such as hkr, wakey even leeds have uncovered sections. Feel it's about time working mans sport gets same treatment as elitist ones

[St Albans tiger]

Wimbledon, Royal ascot, euro 21...all international events with big international broadcasting rights.

Challenge cup final is a 2nd tier sport in the uk... With a UK broadcaster.

We have to accept that we are not in the same category as those other sports events and as such we will follow what others do rather than dictate the rules/precidents

[68tiger]

Challenge cup final broadcasted worldwide too including live to usa and even russia according to broadcasters list admittedly rest of time were an afterthought but final is one event we broadcast well (except when we win cup put video on as at match near old urinals at back if know what i mean, got home only to discover they cut us off for footy)
