Yes most big games attract bigger crowds. Why though do you attach these fans to yourselves when it means a good turn out and looks good but then as soon as there is trouble they arent Wire fans and shouldnt be labbled as such!!
Anyway surely you should be able to get over 10 thousand of these 30 odd thousand to turn up each week at home!! After all they are Wire fans!!

What are you on about

Where were you all at the semi last year?

Benidorm.

I was yes, less than 24 hours after my daughters wedding, and I was at the nines last night.
We're there 30,000 Wire fans at Widnes for the semi this year or last?

The point being, you couldn't sell your allocation for the semi last year feel the need to question our fans?

There'll be over 30,000 Warrington supporters there!!.....Get over it

Whether they be full time supporters part time supporters once a year supporters or once in a lifetime supporters I personally don't care.

Its great that the public of the town are getting behind their own town team and supporting them on what is a special day for Warringtonians!!

A turnout of this volume from a town the size of ours is exceptional and I'm proud of every one of em!!

Come on Warrington!!!

There still shouldn't be more than the 7k that were at the Fev game. Those that didn't attend shouldn't be entitled to a ticket. Same goes for Leeds in regards their Blackpool game.

I don't have a problem with it, good luck to all who go down, enjoy the weekend / day and remember you are representing your town / city (both clubs) and Rugby League in general. It would be the same if Wigan were going.

The problem I had with the original post was the bragging we're taking more fans than you mentality when Leeds have been far better supported for the rest of the season.

Enjoy the game, and I really don't care who wins, I just hope it's a great match we're discussing after it has been played.

There was no bragging about the original post. It's entitled "more Wire than Leeds its official" and the post went on to say that this was a great achievment in comparison to the respective size of the town/city........which it certainly is!

The "more fans than you mentality" as you put it was introduced by fans from other clubs sniping about home support at the HJ and as usual generally disrupting what started out as a excellent topic for discussion!

I think the word i'm looking for is OWNED.

Oh come on. It clearly was a bragging contest to see whose cock is bigger. Its all the Wire fans have gone on about since the fixture was announced. The number of how many tickets sold, nearing a sell-out, only 5k left, type of threads i have seen makes me wonder if you're more bothered about the attendence than the cup.

It is a good comparison that you have only 200k population and are taking 30k to Wembley. But still, the thread title clearly indactes you're bragging about having more fans there than Leeds. If it wasn't intended that way, why put it like that. Why not put... 'for a town that has only 200k population.... 30k worth of tickets is a cracking effort' or something like. But no, you decided to brag.

and there expecting more than the 33000 from last year to travel down this year, considering warrington as a population of around 200k this is a massive achievment , lets all enjoy the weekend win or lose




Isn't that what he said?

Utter rubbish I didn't go the fev game but I go every game home and away just chose not to go this one does that mean I shouldn't go wembley?
