fozzie's post implies the former.
It’s up to 10,000 people or 25% of total seated capacity, whichever is lower.
So a bigger stadium would allow more in but the RFL have made this worse by holding a triple header with fans of up to six teams possible which is why the tickets are restricted to 600 each and not 1500 each if just one semi final was being held at Leigh.
What a bunch of idiots we have running the game.
I get the feeling the Beeb have something to do with this - costs etc

That’s for games isn’t it those figures so doesn’t apply here in this case.
The FA cup final only has 21k speccys in and that’s a final,it makes perfect sense to move to smaller venue
