06/12/2008 - Scarlets game a sell-out

The Ospreys have confirmed that their Christmas fixture with the Scarlets is a sell-out.Eight hundred tickets were returned by the Scarlets but were snapped up after being put on general sale on Thursday.

It means the December 27 game is set to be played in front of the region's third ever capacity crowd of 20,520.

The visit of the touring Australians in 2006 prompted the first Liberty Stadium full house.

A month later came another as the Ospreys defeated the Scarlets 50-24 - the most points they have scored in a single game against a rival region.

The Ospreys say the only way for anyone still to buy a ticket to attend the game will be to snap up one of the few remaining hospitality places available.

MARK ORDERS



A few observations here . . .
How come the Scarlets returned 800 tickets? Surely, there are hard core fans out there who could have managed the short drive up the road to the Liberty? Why didn't the region promote the fact tickets were available? I know the season's almost over in terms of trophies, but surely Scarlets fans aren't that fickle and fair-weather?
