Exactly. This will probably end up in a petty bickering thread between Wigan and Wire fans too. It's worse than the Hull forums on here sometimes.

i hope it doesnt, and if it does my apologies, as it wasnt my intention.

I was just saying that we got lambasted for it, but now you do it it's a stroke of marketing genius.

I had no problem with it when we did and don't have a problem with it now either, as others have said, better marketing = more bums on seats, and thats what it is all about at the end of the day.

Correct. It was a stupid idea.


Correct. It's a great idea.


C'mon, you know how fans work.

I think the thing with it is. The Champions are now giving you that name too whereas before it was the team that were cup winners calling themselves champions so its not quite the same. However, both are incorrect and both are great pieces of marketing simple as.

techincalities... Churchie are warrington "champions" OH YESSSS!

when two different cup holders collide

When nobbers from both club collide

When the salary cap cheating clubs collide

Who cares, all i care about is another game of the quality of arguably the best 2 games last season and a result.

That's the day after on here.

And not to forget the entire week before.

Theres 6232 tickets left on e-ticketing so its more like 13.5k sold so far.
Ill go for 17k in the home stands and 4k in the North = 21k

European cup winners
European champions.


Challenge cup winners
Challenge cup champions

Winning a cup comp featuring team's from Wales, England, France, Russia and Hull...

=


European Champions.

Actually not quite true. The West Stand does not show the comfy prawn sandwich eating seats so the capacity of the home end on E-Ticketing is only 18,646. I guess this is why the actual crowd always is a little more than what we expect the day before through this site. It doesn't take into account the full 5-700 seats in the posh section of the west stand but the crowd on the day does.

East stand 1 (2011/4112) 2101
East stand 2 (1286/4110) 2824
South stand (769/5402) 4633
West stand 1 (889/2512) 1623
West stand 2 (1214/2510) 1296

Total tickets sold ......12,477
Plus estimated wire fans......16,477
Tickets remaining.......6169
Total seats........ 18,646

Over 300 tickets sold since yesterday, at this rate it does suggest around 15k in the home ends but I think that will increase as we get closer to the game. Should get a really good walk up crowd this one as well with it being such a big game on a friday night.

I think the only way it will get close to a sell-out is if both us and Warrington win this weekend and then whoever wins next weekend will more than likely be top.
