Leeds Rhinos will have thousands of supporters behind them after the club provided an update on ticket sales for their semi-final clash with Wigan Warriors. Over 4,000 Loiners will make the trip to the DW Stadium after the Rhinos revealed they had just 600 tickets left of their total allocation.
Leeds fans will be situated in the North Stand which has a total capacity of 5,413, thought this is understood to be reduced for safety. Nevertheless, the Rhinos will still boast an astounding number of fans at the game and they'll watch on as the Rhinos look to reach their first Grand Final in five years.
Wigan are also set to be well supported and a crowd in the region of 12,000 is expected on Friday night. Play-off games have traditionally struggled to draw big crowds, despite their importance in the context of a season. It's thought to be a result of play-off games not being a part of season ticket plans.
But a five-figure crowd will be in attendance on Friday in what is a battle between two of Super League's best attacking sides. Bevan French and Jai Field have starred for the Warriors this year but Leeds have been one of the highest-scoring sides in the competition since Rohan Smith's arrival at the club.
The two teams have one win apiece against each other this year. The Warriors defeated the Rhinos in round two before Leeds won 42-12 at Headingley in July.
