It is one of the best stadiums in the country. It is instantly recognisable worldwide, and people travel from all corners to see it. You can go there for a meeting in the middle of the week and it feels like you are at a tourist attraction, not a soccer stadium. How on earth is it a dump?!

It's impressive from outside but it is hell inside. We drove round yesterday & there were loads of people around the from even coach loads of people.

Because once you're inside it it's like being marched through a penitentiary. Maybe it's because I don't go to football grounds but it was easily the least pleasant stadium to watch a game from I've ever seen and I've been to Twickenham!

I've been to every 50,000+ capacity stadium in the UK with the exceptions of Ibrox and Twickenham. That covers Murrayfield, Hampden, Celtic Park, St James' Park, Old Trafford, Millenium Stadium, Wembley, Emirates and the Olympic Stadium. I've also been to most 40,000+ football grounds, loads of smaller grounds, and every UK based ground currently in Super League.

Old Trafford is one of the very best and it really irritates me having to say that.

I've been past our place a couple of times since they went on sale and never seen a queue yet. Hope they are selling well.

I missed that one, but I went to the draw that preceeded it. 2-2, it wasn't a great game, but I do remember that Brian Glover collapsed at the end through exhaustion.
You get your backside there BWW. You'll regret it if you don't go.

Less than 1,000 tickets left at Wigan. www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.a ... &type=news Looking good for a big crowd.

Does anyone know how well wire ticket sales are doing?

Wire end sold out, south stand also sold out.. according to RFL website, Can't wait now should be a cracking atmosphere

Just looked, Wigan end nearly sold out and most of North stand sold out too, should be a great atmosphere.

Looking very close to full capacity.

RFL site only shows their allocation doesn't it?

I assume as the club hasn't been putting out press releases (like Wigan have) that we are nearly sold out, I guess we still have 'plenty' available?

No, I don't think that is necessarily true. I looked at the seating (block) plan last night and it showed there were 6 blocks in the west stand that were not full (orange). Today it is shown as completely full (red). So either they are marking the seats as sold at time of sale, or they are also selling west stand tickets to the general public. I assume the west holds about 20,000 ? which would presumably be our club allocation.

As previously mentioned, the south is now marked as sold out, and there are only 3 blocks left in the east. The north also seems to be filling rapidly.

It does look like a sell out.
