Full House?

Rhyl F.C are hoping for a 3,000 capacity crowd at their European Cup qualifier against Latvian giants Skonto Riga. The North Wales club have avoided the temptation to move the game away from their Belle Vue home.

Despite the signing of former England star Paul Gascoigne seemingly dead, Rhyl F.C are still hoping that their European Cup qualifying match at Belle Vue against Skonto Riga will be a sell-out. The North Welsh club attracted hefty crowds to several games towards the back-end of last season, namely the league clash with TNS and the FAW Premier Cup final against eventual winners Wrexham.

The game is set to be an all-ticket affair, with tickets going on sale later this week. Entrance for the second-leg clash is priced at £8 for adults, £6 for concessions and £4 for under-16's. Belle Vue has a 3,000 capacity, and the club are hoping for a full-house even if they lose the opening leg in Latvia.
