The lower tier at Wembley is a bit expensive, but 2011 we sat on the very back row of the upper at £20, which wasn't great, it felt a bit disconnected, so went up a band to £30 in 2013, which was row 3 upper tier and an absolute fantastic view. This time we've managed to get row 3 again, but for £20.

Can't moan at that at all really. You won't pay that price for anything else in this day and age if you're talking football or music, and that's ignoring all the offers the RFL had been emailing for months in advance.

I sat in the lower tier in 2011, front of the top tier in 2013 and back of the top tier last year. Top tier has the best views and best value for money for me.

At the rate we are going at present, even my free tickets will be too expensive to watch us get mauled

Thoughts?

Loads of people buy their CC tickets well in advance regardless of their team being there or not. There'll be plenty Wigan fans there on the day.

The only difference with this years crowd to the last 6 or 7 years is they'll have to accurately report this years. There hasn't been an 'actual' final crowd of over 70,000 for a good while now (as in there actually being over 70,000 with their bums sat on seats).

We'll take a bashing on the VT and in other places for Saturdays crowd no doubt but the truth is it'll be on a par and probably better then a few of the crowds in recent years.

We have only sold 8,000 as we have a large number of ypant, armchair critics that will not attend unless the team are playing perfect RL and winning 50-0.

And this must be true or you wouldn't have said it, would you? Anyway, I hope you get a few more bites than your previous attempt to insult people got.

Truth hurts.

Your corporate freeloading dried up now hey?

In 2006 when we struggled and fought our way out of relegation our attendances increased. However, the last few seasons have seen our crowds steadily drop and although some won't like it, there's a real element of truth in this. Unless we're putting cricket scores on everyone we're not worth spending money on. Sad really.

Sorry, it wasn't my intention to get bites from you. As for freeloading, if you mean the days when the club benefitted to the tune of £8k plus each season then, yes, those days are over now that I'm happily retired in my fifties. I've still got all the friends and memories from those days, though. People you would give your eye teeth just to have them glance your way. One of them is presenting the trophy this time actually. Still, you're the only true fan on here, eh?

Where have I said that?

If you haven't got the appetite to attend the game anymore that's your choice, just as it is my choice to attend regardless of the performances, standard, or any other ypant reason that I've seen quoted on here this season.
