Whatever our ticket allocation may be I am sure we will sell it and end up asking for more. Cup fever will grip the town again,watch this space.

They could do bring a friend for a fiver for season ticket holders. That would help.

Well not really, everyone bar me (looking on here) is expecting not to get their hopes up & expect a close game.

Full house with Mr Bosc not able to get a bus ticket between the cheeks of his inside a Wire cauldron.

got a feeling a few hundred widnes fans will turn up to support the cats and maybe some saints too

Why? because everyone hates wire? get a grip, if there are any fans besides your own and Catalan, I would expect its because they haven't been to a game that weekend, or the are just in the majority and genuinely love to watch a good live game of rugby league, get rid of your ghosts and the chip on your shoulder not, everyone is 100% anti-wire 100% of the time.

Good luck to the team.

Think it's you that need to get a grip. There is a healthy rivalry between the teams mentioned, and no doubt if they attend many will support Catalans.

Nothing paranoid in it at all.

See.. this is my point exactly... there is a healthy rivalry between the teams mentioned... be carefull... paranoia is a self destroya... with all respect as a northerner watching a game against any other team Yorkshire... France..my red rose glasses would come out of their case but thats just the type of supporter I am (but it keeps the healthy rivalry going).

This is your point exactly? What the hell are you on about?

It was quite difficult to actually understand your post, but if you think that the likes of Wigan and Widnes fans will be hoping that Warrington win and get to Wembley you are delusional.

Saints fans may want us to win as they would probably like to meet us at Wembley.

wasnt so long back over a 1000 wire fans turned out to support catalans against wigan in the cup so before you spout your mouth off mum you clown guess all us wire are anti wigan

sorry? my clown guess? 1000 wire fans turn out to support cats agains wigan and you say, ALL you wire fans are anti wigan? I think most of you (you're self and a small minority excluded if I get the picture?) are more not anti anything and pro rugby league in general.

Your team are now reaping the rewards they have worked so hard for over the past years, every dog must have its day Widnes, Wigan, Saints, Leeds etc... you are where you deserve to be, whats the problem?

ok mum

I might wear my wires shirt and my catalan hat just to confuse everyone!

Wherever the game is played the attendance will not be as high as most expect because of two things. One Catalans won't bring thousands to the game for obvious reasons. Two Catalans are a poor shadow of the team they were. Add a third, neutral fans will be limited because its Catalans. Warrington will do well to fill the space. Will the appetite of our "floating fans" be as big as last year for a game against the Catalans? Look at a home game when we play them without all the freebie stuff to get extra fans in.

For the neutrals that attended the Catalan Wigan semi, we added to the atmosphere of what turned out to be a great game, especially for Catalan. In the West stand that day I saw fans with Saints, leigh, Widnes and Wire tops, all there with the one cause to cheer on the underdog against the mighty Wgan.

Not saying I want the underdog to win on this occasion but as others have implied most neutrals will want Catalan to beat us, call it 'healthy rivalry'.

I can't see this game selling out between Wire and Cats fans, a crowd of 10000 perhaps so how about the RFL allocating the a number of free tickets to the local Championship teams, they can then give them to their deserving fans. A full Widnes or Leigh will look better and generate a better atmosphere on the day.

On that point, and whats already been mentioned, you'd think widnes would attempt to emulate what warrington did in 07 and try and encourage some widnes fans to turn up and support the dragons, i believe it didn't hurt our pretty good reputation with the RFL and it wouldn't hurt widnes to get on the RFL's good side with licence applications coming up.
