i'm sure i'm not alone in thinking that a target of 20k is a poor target. I know they may have based it on recent semi-finals, but if thats the case hold it at a ground that hold 25k and at least it will look full

if you are using a ground like Elland Rd, then surely the target should be to sell it out

i cant believe how low some of the aims of the RFL have fallen over the last 20 years or so.. Same with internationals, we have gone from Wembley / Old Trafford / Elland Rd to being chuffed at 20-25k at Hull, Hudds, Wigan etc

true, I remember watching us V York there in 1984, vs Hull Kr in 85, and when Hunslet used it as their home ground. Saw Steve Hampson do his Lurpak impression to get sent off after 2 minutes,

Was the place I first saw Wigan win a major comp with the John Player in 1983 so it does hold good memories for me and Wigan. I don't recall seeing us lose there?

The target has maybe changed after initial up take? I’m still tempted to go if the missus doesn’t arrange anything this weekend. Another faux pas from the RFL is booking the Challenge Cup Final on the same day as the Champions League final, that’s 100% going to hit the attendance. With the current state of English football and Liverpool and City in particular there was always a good chance at least one would make the final which will affect attendances from Wigan and more particularly St Helens.

if HKR bring half that was there at the CC final V hull there will be at least a million of them there...

in 1989 Wigan had 15,000 in the Semi Final and 30,000 in the Final

I'd settle for the same score as the final that year
