I like it how we have half the stadium each, rather than 2 stands each

Let's hope they all get snapped up by Wires fans - the more the merrier! Should be a great atmosphere with all that primrose and blue!!

Silly me, you sold less than 3.5k, because you never sold more than 3.5k.

Looks like '77 et al were correct. A masterstroke by the RFL in choosing this venue to match the predicted demand.

What has happened to Rugby League. The corresponding fixture in 1989 between Wire and Wiga at Maine Road (Lydons drop goal) had a much larger attendance yet average crowds then were much lower. Is this Sky's fault by diminishing the CC competition?

The Grand Final is equally coveted, if not moreso. Hence the diminishing appeal of the Cup.

Did you have to remind us about that! Why not just leave it at Maine Road

Rubbish.....Personally I couldn't give a hoot about a grand final apperance so long as we keep making a CC final.

No it wasn't.



If it wasnt reserves seating i could have easily brought 4/5 more people, wolfette the same. That's two people, imagine the possibility if each person brought one more person with them who isn't a regular attendee . We would sell plenty. No chance of walk in tickets, especially from neutrals or those who cant get to the club shops.

That said, the fact Wigan are selling so little is very surprising. However the sport is in no fit state to be turning people and money away. Perhaps also the fact that the semi final and final are so close people are waiting to spend their money on a big lump sum of tickets, accommodation, foam gloves and the most important thing, lots of alcohol.

I think you may be in the minority if you don't care about the GF.

Yeah I made your initial point a few weeks ago, but it's harder to defend now seeing as there are 700 tickets left.

I want us to win anything don't care if it is the CC of GF!

But those tickets weren't available when the queues were stretching along the sides of the ground. And for those who wanted tickets with those who have them already, they still can't get them.

Are we only taking 9,000 to Wembley if we get there? Many peoples first game of season will be a final. No bandwagon jumping there...

Yeah I know. I get the point. I could have brought more but was limited, but I may be in the tiny minority.

As for bandwagon jumpers - I welcome them, welcome to the fold.

If only Rugby League supporters (/fans), and governing body had aspirations like this;
