Every time I've been to a grand final featuring stains its seemed like their end has only been half full

Saints average attendance this season is 12,100. Wigan's is 14,100. At just 2,000 that's not a massive difference. Looked at another way Wigan might have 15% more fans.

Both sides one would expect, would have a similar amount of bandwagon merchants and once a season glory hunters

Don't forget the "anyone but Wiggin" so-called neutrals who'd support a Taliban 13 against us given the choice.

Looking at the RFL ticket site, our end is compeltely sold out but saints seem to be struggling in the upper tier of the west stand. I'm hoping it's a sell out but can't see it now.

Same with me!! Been getting texts!

Grand Final tickets remain on sale from the club up until 12pm today. They then have to return to the RFL.

LOL and after Wigan are close to selling out their third allocation.

I fully expect there to be significantly more Wigan than Saints fans, don't understand it myself but a combination of previous experience and the expectation of defeat again seems to be stopping some Saints fans going.

Also, a lot of Saints fans (like me) bought from the RFL rather than directly from Saints due to general incompetence of the Saints ticket office.
