We'll easy get over 20,000 for this, especially when you consider Leeds' following.

Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good - sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league - Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate - the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever - Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go - Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know - FIOS:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_39110.jpg



I know loads of people who have bought tickets who do not even follow rugby.

There will be people who just normally pay on the gate and will just do the same.

There is still plenty of time for people to buy tickets.

Leeds will bring over 2000 with those sorts of prices.

Is that number including season ticket holders?

I am gutted I am on holiday for this game but I have given away my season tickets to some new people who went to the Catalans game as I don't want to let the crowd down. They loved the Catalans game even though one of them is a season ticket holder with Man U and even went to the champions league final. Even in a half empty stadium I bet it was a better atmosphere than a football game. The Leeds game will be electric.

I've got to buy a few tickets for this yet for some friends and i'd imagine theres others in the same boat.

To sell an extra 1,000 in the past few days is a very good sign and i think we could be looking at 22,000ish which will create a great atmosphere and hopefully one which the players will thrive in.

Great work by the club.

Would boost ticket sales further if we could go into the game on the back of four wins.

As we 'should' do.

Bradfords form is awful, their home record is awful and we've hammered them once this year already.

I say all that but i'm not too confident at all. We don't seem to play that well at Odsal(apart from for 20 minutes in the play off game of 2007).

Excellent news 2 weeks before the game this is a large amount.

We should push over 20K+ which I think is the target for the match.

Mick Hogan is doing a very good job. With this and the Heinz idea proving very successful.

This and the Harlequins game will really boost our average gates. We are not one of the teams who needs to be doing this to boost crowds and yet we are one of the clubs really tying in this area.

The club did not have to do this. I hope it becomes a regular thing every year for this game and I also think we should do something for the wire game as we could get a sell-out for that one. We could be looking at 3, 20,000+ crowds if we do this every year and if put something else on for the smaller gates again like against Quins, Celtic and Catalans, we will be heading in the right direction. I think next season we should put this kind of effort in to the home opener as well, it would be great to have a huge crowd on for the first game like we did against wire in 2007.

We still have this game and games against Wire and Hull at home so we should be looking at a really good average attendance by the end of the year as all 3 crowds should hopefully be above our current average because wire and Hull bring loads of fans and the Leeds game will obviously get a huge crowd.

Why are Quins, Salford, Celtic, Wakey and maybe a few other clubs not doing things like this?

I think there will be '20k' whether 20k people are in the stadium or not.

I agree with everything you say. I don't think we'll win on Sunday.

If we do win at Bradford the Leeds game is going to be huge!

We'll be on the back of a good winning run, they'll need to win to keep in touch with Saints, we'll need to win to keep in touch with Hull Kr or Huddersfield and both sides will go full throttle at it.

I hope our players realise how big the Bradford game is though.

We will beat Bradford as long as we get a good start.

If we play half as well as we have been doing I think we will beat Bradford.

If only we had won at Celtic, we would be looking at our 7th win in a row.

Ian L is a real star and he will fill the JJB (DW) Stadium by the 2012 season. He knows how to get bums on seats and our loss is your gain. Your average gates are on the up and this has to be applauded.
