    Wakefield and Hull are playing at Donny stadium for some reason and have only given us 5,000 tickets each, and 2 per season ticket holder, with 4,000 season ticket holders looks like a mad rush for tickets yet agen :(

    Who's got 4000 ST holders, Wakey?

    Thats not bad if so. They always were the poorly supported neighbour to my team- the might Rovers ;-)</p>

    yes we do have 4,000 season ticket holders now, and now the club have put a 'mini season ticket' offer for the last 6 home games, with the challenge cup match coming up, they see it as a good piece of business but its incredibly annoying!

    R young un was playing for South Yorkshire v Hull on Saturday. The coach driver pulled my dad (in his Wakefield shirt) and asked about tickets. Apparently, Hull have told each of their 10,000 ST holders that they'll get a ticket. So it's not as bad as that!

    The Keepmoat holds just over 15,000

    So if Hull reckon each of their 10,000 season ticket holders are guaranteed a ticket, that leaves 5,000 for Wakey as stated.

    RL website confirms that Hull are selling 1 per ST but Wakey are selling 2 per ST.

    Hull don't have 10K ST holders, but are very good at exaggerating! They have 8,400 and they have promised them 1 per ST for the semi. Wakey have 2 per ST to try and even up the numbers in the Semi.

    I've just read the Hull website. 1 per ST but must be purchased in the priority week. Sounds fair enough.

    Not sure I agree with the venue mind. Leeds don't have far to travel to the Galpharm.

    Leeds v St Helens at the Galpharm is about as equi-distant as they could have it. The only other alternative would be the JJB, but Wigan play a home game on the Friday night of the semi weekend.

    There are lots of people moaning that the Keepmoat ain't big enough, but only 1 semi in the last 5 years has attracted a gate of over 15K, so it's probably realistic.

    I can't for the life of me understand...

    Why they're playing the game there.
