Spot on Hill needs to cut out any 'antics' he's become an easy target

This week is going slooowly.
Can't wait, it's games like this that make standing on the terraces in the cold against teams like Widnes ( ) worthwhile.

Very tough game to call. Two fairly even teams, I’d actually argue Catalans have a slightly better squad.

I think Wire may be a few points better off in the SL table due to that run of eight wins in a row which was probably more just a run of form than true quality; and Catalans are a few points worse off in SL as that run of 7 losses in their first eight games which was more a run of bad form than true eness.

Hope Warrington win it .No love for Catalans and their borderline thug tactics.Saying that it's 2 big packs and on paper looks like it should be a tight game. Warry's key players have been at Wembley before and I just can't see them chucking it away again..Expect Cats to start very hard and fast but if kept out I reckon Warry by a couple of scores..We will see

Anybody gave an idea of ticket sales? I fear a low crowd given that the RFL is still pushing them online.

Fans who bought in the top tier have been moved to the bottom tier.

For some bizarre reason all of the top tier seats have been taken off sale, these are/were the cheapest tickets, although very few tickets are available to buy elsewhere, looks like 50,000 have been sold.

People need to focus on the game, not the crowd. They'd be empty seats at pretty much any possible final and that's down to how the cup has gone downhill

Presumably as sales have been modest so (a) closing section reduces staffing costs; and (b) putting people into lower tiers will make crowd look better on TV?

The decision to close the top tier was made over 1 week before the final, there are hardly any tickets left in the other tiers. The £20 and £30 top tier tickets for a cup final at Wembley should be an easy sell to Londoners.

ahem...."With a lower crowd than usual expected this weekend due to Catalans’ involvement, it has again reared suggestions about whether the final should move from its spiritual home. Ratchford, however, is adamant is belongs where it is." ENOUGH SAID

Imagine if the association football cup final was played between Burnley and stoke. I doubt that would sell out either. It’s the same in any sport. If the big clubs don’t get there it’s difficult to sell

What is the obsession with crowds at finals??!

Too many people sat at home watching the stands and not the pitch.

You worried it won't look good on your TV? Well go sit in the stadium then.

Admission that Catalan are not a big club.

Perfect reply.

Dunno if you're on a wind up or not there, but a Burnley V Stoke FA Cup Final would sell out easily.
