Quote: ComeOnYouUll "RFL Director Roger Draper has said they expect the attendance on Saturday to be around 65,000 although there won't necessarily be fewer there than in recent years as previously Club Wembley seats were counted regardless of whether or not they were occupied.

Hull FC have sold 16,000 tickets and Wigan 8,000. Draper said that in total they expect there to be 20,000 Hull FC fans in the stadium.'"


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.

23 - 20 - 4 Warrington led 16-2 in Saturday's Grand Final, but their joy was short-lived as Wigan roared back to win the Super League title and extend the Wire's 58-year wait to be champions:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_10174.png



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.

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.

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? icon_lol.gif 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.

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, even me.

I'm bothered that we've only reportedly sold 8,000 for a cup final, it should be double that. I care about the club.

The RFL gave the club some crap seats in the upper tier in my opinion (stuck in the corners). Subsequently I and others bought tickets in the upper tier from the RFL as they were behind the sticks.

They are disappointing sales but it is worth pointing out that the closure of the line between Wigan and London Euston wont have helped.

I like the upper tiers at Wembley you get a great view and are not reliant on the crowd at the other end cheering to let you know a try has been scored . You can see for yourself . Got 11 £30 seats (marked on tickets) for £20 per seat from Wigan . RFL selling same section for £30 per seat .
