Hopefully the gaps have been filled by Saints fans and not Pies!'"
72k I think - reduced because of the big screen.
[iSt Helens have rejected suggestions that their supporters may be outnumbered two to one by Wigan fans at Saturday's Super League Grand Final. Wigan sold out of their allocation of 12,000 tickets inside 48 hours, after four-hour queues formed outside the DW Stadium, whereas Saints still have tickets remaining at Knowsley Road despite sending some back to be sold centrally by the Rugby Football League.
However Tony Colquitt, the St Helens chief executive, believes "it will still be about 50-50 on the day", arguing mischievously that four consecutive Grand Final appearances have left his club's supporters more familiar with the variety of ways in which to buy tickets for Old Trafford.
"If you've not been there for years, you panic," said Colquitt – Wigan's last Grand Final appearance was in 2003. "A lot of the Saints fans know the routine; why would you go and queue up in the rain when you can just pick up the phone? We've had this every year, with a lot of our fans getting tickets from the League, and I'm confident that we'll be very well-supported."[/i
