Quote: Orrell Lad "We have only sold 8,000 as we have a large number of ypant, armchair critics that will not attend unless the team are playing perfect RL and winning 50-0.'"


In 2006 when we struggled and fought our way out of relegation our attendances increased. However, the last few seasons have seen our crowds steadily drop and although some won't like it, there's a real element of truth in this. Unless we're putting cricket scores on everyone we're not worth spending money on. Sad really.

I like the upper tiers at Wembley you get a great view and are not reliant on the crowd at the other end cheering to let you know a try has been scored . You can see for yourself . Got 11 £30 seats (marked on tickets) for £20 per seat from Wigan . RFL selling same section for £30 per seat .

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png



Quote: MadDogg "They are disappointing sales but it is worth pointing out that the closure of the line between Wigan and London Euston wont have helped.'"


Definitely, and I'm sure that will have taken some off the attendance from a Wigan perspective.

This will by first miss since I went in 84 the lack of train is the main reason as we have used Virgin or special on our last 6/7 visits.

Of the 9 others who usually make the trip only two are gong for similar reasons.

Some people may think this is a poor reason but i spend enough time on the motorways of our country Monday - Friday working and have no desire to do it on my days off.

Hope everyone has a safe trip and lets hope for a classic with a Wigan win !!

I got our tickets through the RFL, and wasn't asked which club I supported, so not sure how they've got any sort of accurate figures as to who has sold the most tickets.

Regarding the overall crowd, yeah, with Club Wembley not counted in any more, it will appear lower, but it's no different from counting club attendance figures that include season tickets whether they attend or not.

Our CEO has said our ticket sales are more than this year, and believe that 23k are attributed to Hull, though how they gather that information I don't know. Must be sales through the club, and sales through the RFL to HU post codes. It won't count the people who have bought through the RFL and live outside of Hull though
