Quote: Jukesays "Just on that subject, I've been as usual getting a bit frustrated at the usual doom mongering predictions about the attendance for Saturdays game
For a start we spent the week before the last 2 semi finals talking about how embarrassing it will be etc and got beat, and people will say what does it matter etc but when you constantly talk things down don't be surprised if people believe it's bad and in Turn do the same and it ends up self-perpetuating
Secondly, and I wish I had the knowledge and patience to find my post from last year when exactly the same was happening were I predicted the attendance would be a good one at it ended up at nearly 13,000 with nearly 9000 of that from Wigan which was far from shabby or embarrassing
This year is exactly the same, 10 days ago people posting our attendance would be embarrassing etc, and once again we will end up selling 8/9000 and with the 6 million coming from HKR it will be a good effort given the many circumstances'"
The ticket map doesn't look too bad now - the South and West doesn't look far off what it is for the regular season and I'm sure a fair few will buy on the day. I do wish we could get a few more in the camera facing stand, particularly for terrestrial TV games.
