If you have control over the others log into their accounts and change their settings so you can buy tickets for them. It is a faff and it took me a few try’s to get it right but managed it and was able to buy mine and two others in my network ( son and grandson) that I control and my mates who is in my network. He had to accept a request from me for this to happen.

Quote: NickyKiss "We joked at the game how it felt just like Penrith. I have loads of sympathy for the players in terms of getting excited and being up for games. I’ve been to all the games since Penrith and have felt flat watching them tbh. The fixtures we’ve had have been both good and bad. They’ve been good because they’ve all been extremely winnable but they’ve been bad because they’ve been hard to get excited about. That charge on Friday and I think everyone needs it.'"


We've also got Leigh away the week after. Like him or not, Derek always puts a good show on for these types of games, so at least we know that we've got two weeks with a "big game feel" to them.

Other teams need to step up however. When it comes to atmosphere, it takes two to tango. 20 or so away fans and a drum, or 100 and a couple of cowbells just doesn't cut it.

I really do think us and Saints could be on the cusp of really tapping into our respective towns. It seems that, given the right circumstances, there's a real interest and hunger for fans to watch their both sides. KR seem to be getting there and Leigh too. How do the rest do it?

Yeah and potentially a big cup game after that. All games we need.

Quote: NickyKiss "A tough nights viewing. We aren’t there at the minute but nobody is getting a good match to watch with that ref in charge. He definitely takes the rule book to bed, to the sh*tter and on his holidays.

Full credit to Sheffield though, it was a great effort. Tonight has to be the night the Wigan players move on from Penrith because things are about to get a whole heap tougher. One or two of them are absolutely way off.'"
Couldnt go last night , who was way off in your opinion mate ?

Quote: sergeant pepper "I think we need to put last night into some context - it might have been the cup, but it was a nothing game. I might also go as far as to say it was potentially damaging to any new fans we might have picked up too.

Something needs to change in RL. I realise every game can't be a big one, or get you excited - but I didn't want to be there last night and it looked like the players didn't either. Everything just felt forced. The team was OTT, the south stand not being open, the ref being a pedantic pr!ck etc.

I kept drifting off and thinking of the atmosphere at the WCC. The Bevan no try and how the south stand erupted etc. How is playing a semi pro team in front of 5k supposed to give us that high or atmosphere?

My Mrs is a perfect example of why it's dangerous. Towards the end of last year I got her to come to a couple of games (Leigh home and the GF). She then came to the WCC and is almost hooked. The last two home games however have had zero atmosphere. It's a sure fire way to quickly kill off a blossoming interest.'"


I think you are right mate. I was thoroughly bored although I would like to give credit to Sheffield, they played some good stuff and treated the occasion like their cup final. The referee strangled the game, how he has risen to refereeing SL games is beyond me, he could even make the GF derby seem drab. what was once the main competition in the rugby league calendar is now an afterthought, a rethink is needed. Maybe the Challenge Cup is past its sell by date? It is obvious, by last nights attendance that the folk in Wigan think so.

My lad and his girlfriend took advantage of the low price to go,i warned them it wouldn't be a classic but no they where determined to go as we got back to the car she said she wished she'd listened to mesh likes the game but is at a point where it can go either way,time and again I said id buy them tickets for the WCC but they declined "too cold",truth is yes you get spoiled by games like that one but it can also hook the new fan too such a miss opportunity for both of them.
