I think a capacity of 14,000 will be enough for this game. Wigan's support is waning a little as is Warrington's, and the credit cruch won't be over by then. Warrington hardly took any fans to Hull KR at the weekend, and didn't they get heavily subsidised travel from the club as well? Wigan's support at home to Salford would have been about 7500 and it wasn't even televised on a glorious Friday evening against a club who were on a good run at the time. I think the lure of the cup is waning, unless we a talking about the final.

The only way the capacity will be a problem is if both clubs go on an undefeated run, and let's face it, the probability of that from Wigan isn't that great. Don't forget that a lot of Wigan fans are fed up of being let down by absolutely dire performances which happen more frequently than they should, and won't want to risk a show similar to the one against the Catalans a couple of years ago. It's also in the middle of the holiday period with a lot of fans likely to be on a beach somewhere.

Much beter, IMO, to have a full house shown on TV with a few people missing out on tickets than huger empty spaces as seen at Huddersfield yesterday.


I'm planning to be there though, along with all the other die hards, if I can get hold of a ticket

Do you think you will sell your allocation this time round? I hope so, would be great if full, gonna be a close game, too close too call. Wigan are used to playing in big pressure games more than us but about time we started.

Seeing as we have more season ticket holders than we'll get tickets I would be mightly peed off if we didn't.

It's a great idea but the BBC have already scheduled in the two games, one for Saturday and one for Sunday.

The BBC have done it for the Union Anglo-Welsh Cup in the past. This year both games were double headered at Ricoh Arena in Coventry with one match 2:30 on BBC 1 and the other 5:15 on BBC 2. 45-60min gap between games isn't good mind but in theory I guess they could do it.
