I actually cannot wait. Just hope Leeds don't batter us

Sold out with 4 days to go, glad to be a part of it. The RFU have probably helped it sell out, goes against all they set out to do in trying to disrupt it with their huge match against Uraguay haha

Bad planning the RFL should have made a full day of it and invited the RFU to put on the England v Uraguay as pre match non-entertainment.

Really great news, great day for super league, can someone just clarify something for me though? I saw the totalrl article said it was sold out and over 73,000 will be there. Well I know that old Trafford holds 75,000 so do they reduce it for rugby or is that simply just a nonsense sentence?

Is a mixture of the room taken up by the big screen and Nigel Wood.

stage for the band/DJ in one corner of ground among the seats, the area for the big screen all eats into the capacity

Think there's still a few individual seats left, the capacity of Old Trafford I'd 75,731, I think they have to reduce this slightly for the grand final due to putting 2 big screens in the ground for video ref decisions. Think the capacity for the grand final is just short of 75,000 but don't quote me on that.
