I can't believe that the crowds for this weekend's semi finals are going to be so bad.
Also, I don't buy into the view that it's due to fans being reluctant to part with more money on top of their season tickets. After all, 20+ years ago we had more competitions during the season - Lancs' & Yorks' cup, John Player/Regal trophy - and in those days semi finals had been held at grounds such as Old Trafford, Maine Road and Elland Road. Ok, they didn't sell out (I don't think so anyway) but there was always a decent turn out.
I'm buzzing for this Saturday, can't wait for the game...hope there are many more at both ends of the ground who feel the same and a decent sized crowd turns up.

Dropped a rather large bollok this week, in that I have been working away and not had chance to order a ticket.
I take it the Wigan stand behind the sticks is now sold out?
Have we been allocated another stand? I'm looking to drive up but don't fancy being sat with the Yaarkshire lot.

I believe there's still a few hundred tickets left at the ticket office in Huddersfield for our stand, I'll be heading straight there once I'm off the train.

People who's lives don't revolve around sport perhaps. People that have plenty of other things they can do with their lives. As Leeds fans we've been spoilt over the last few years and to be quite honest the novelty has worn off to an extent. It happened at Wigan and it happened at Bradford.
I can't fully explain it because I'm desperate for us to win the Challenge Cup and like I say, I'll be there, I always am. I'm disappointed that more people don't turn out. But to be fair only now have I started to get excited about the game. A few years ago I'd have been looking forward to it in midweek.

Go back in history. The semi finals have never attracted big crowds. I thought the "away" crowds from both sets today were very impressive. At Wakefield last week, the Wigan away support was the best away support I've seen for a long time.
Good luck for the Grand Final. I wanted Wire-v-Wigan for the Wembley final, for the spectacle and the support. I hope I get it at Old Trafford.
