Quote: Jukesays "We have to be careful though thinking this is a modern Phenomena
The Saint's Play off games going back 18 years have been attended by between 13k & 20k averaging out at around 17k
The Warrington Games in 2003 & 2014 were around the 14k/15k mark
However if you look at the other games they've been terrible in terms of attendances.
Bradford at their Peak was 14k in 2000
Hull 9k
Hull KR under7k
Cats 7k
Leeds in 2012 was only 8k - Other 3 games we've played them average 12k
Hudds 8k & 10k
We've had 2 Home games against Cas 2002 - 8381 & 2009 - 8689
So even back in the Halcyon days of the early 200o's the play of crowds although Better, we weren't bursting at the seams
I would say anything North of 10k with a 3k Cas following would be in line with what has happened over the last 4/5 years
Anyway - On to the Game
I said back in June I was impressed by how Cas were going about their business this year and they are the Team I think would concern me most of the 3.
I do however think that They'll be sat thinking were the 1 team they wouldn't have picked and would rather be facing Saints or Wire.
Home advantage and a bit of emot around the Departures of Wane/ST/JB/Sutty to sway it Wigan's way'"
Over 3k sold from cas since going on sale Saturday morning,I see no reason why we won't sell the 4500 allocation.
Home advantage is the key that gives Wigan a slight advantage IMO. Should be a cracker.
