Quote: Ganson's Optician "Around 11,000 tickets sold so far according to the Guardian this morning, pretty underwhelming considering it is only round the corner. Hopefully there will be a last minute rush over the weekend, this really should be selling out. The Monday night excuse doesn't wash for mine.'"
Well, i'm of the opinion that regardless of what people think, its a wigan game, you attend.
Even if you're picking nd choosing games, this is one of the ones that you pick and choose.
More importantly, i'm thinking further ahead in the season, If we get passed huddersfield in the cup, you'd have to say if we don't pick them up in the next round we're probably quite likely to play them in the final, this match for me is another case to lay a marker down to wigan, bully them a bit, and keep that streak alive and in their mind,
All that being said, i've been a bit disapointed at the articles in the guardian this last two weeks from mr moran and mr gatcliffe telling us to turn up (i agree) cos we need max attendances to justify expanding the ground(probably not needed currently) which is straight forward, but there's this point about the wigan game being labelled 'This is the one' as a subtle play off blah blah blah.
I dont know about anyone else, but i've not seen any marketing from the club stating this, i've only heard it mentioned in the guardian, as we've said on here in recent weeks, there's been very little if any promotion in recent years, no advertising and if it really has been dubbed 'This is the one' Surely this past month would've been a good time to be sticking out some posters around town daubed in stone roses esque designs. Which could've looked quite cool (cept to dropkick murphy).
Perhaps they could've done something on the back of the gigs at the same time we played the broncos, or even around the time the 'Made of Stone' flick came out.
Something...rather than just referring to it, a couple of times, in an interview.
rant over.
this is super league....
