So the ground was only half full for a cup final held in Blackpool on a Sunday afternoon between 2 teams who allegedly think they have what it takes to one day be in Superleague.

Pretty poor effort especially as people were claiming it had 'sold out'

Leigh is only about 40 miles from Blackpool and Halifax about 60.

Why the poor crowd?

Sunday evening, 5pm kick off?

East stand wasn't used due to Blackpool FC having work done to corners to improve stadium therefore only 3 sides used

Its a good job it wasn't open, they couldnt fill the three that were!

This doesn't help. Never known why they keep insisting on it being on a Sunday

A saturday would certainly have been better but even so.. 5pm k/o on a Sunday.. in Blackpool.. the chance to watch your team play in a cup final in a seaside town filled with bars pubs and clubs.. it's a pretty poor turnout.

If I supported Leigh or Halifax I'd certainly have gone and I'd have made a weekend of it.

who claimed it was sold out?

Various people on this site.. I cant remember who and i'll be honest I can't be bothered to look now.

i don't recall anyone claming it was sold out......

Weather didn't help.

If it had been on a Saturday with some nice weather we could have got a lot more

Jonny the Leyther did.




but then again he is an idiot

It was a 5.00KO,on a Sunday and it was On Skysports.
Not a bad game mind could obviously of gone either way to the last touch of the game.
