    Think they will try for Elland road and pack it out with Leeds fans. Outside of Leeds it struggles to fill an arena imo

    Warrington alone doesn't fill Elland Road vs Selby

    Think Warrington would do about 20k tickets for this so Elland Road makes sense with the appropriate set up

    I think the Leeds fans will turn out in large numbers for Warrington but Selby hasn't really got a fanbase.

    I think if it was Elland Road it would be exactly like @dryzer said, just like Bellew at Goodison, large parts closed off.

    Ah right
    We used to cage hire there and now its no more they had to find a new place
    Got told it was all combat events must haver miss understood being half baked probably didn't help
    Thanks for the info though

    I think fight does 15-20,000 but might be better financially puttimg it in the arena which holds 13500 as the extra tickets sold might not cover the extra costs of putting on an outdoor show.

    Scraping the barrel trying to have this in a stadium IMO and solely reliant on Leeds football fans.

    Would have to have another big fight on the card to do over 20k IMO.

    Bateson is still having pro shows there. Thats in the banquiting suite tho. Joshs fight is in the football ground.
    Although im expecting it to be an arena fight. Probably be announced this wk. .
