I agree.
Plenty of di**heads in the ST fanbase though, too.
Bought from club last year and has our worst experience ever at a showpiece final, due to a row of ST holders (or at least regulars (as I’ve seen them at plenty of less glamorous home & aways). Worst thing is that it wasn’t your ‘expected’ cohort for trouble. 4 or 5 females all around 60/65 year old, pi**ed out their minds, causing issues ALL night.

Was my 5 year olds first ever game and completely put him off going to rugby games, since.

Hope I’ve got a few neutrals around us next week, having bought from RFL. Less likely to be on the pop all day & usually less stressed just enjoying the game.

Enjoy the final, all

Like it seems a lot of other posters, I headed straight for the RFL site cos I just can't be doing with all the faff with the Wigan ticketing set-up. So if there was a ST discount (?), I missed out. Managed to find one in the SAF Stand. What is it with this daft Print from Home stuff, though? I haven't got a printer, or access to one, and trust that just showing the ticket on my mobe will do. I've managed to download a pdf file, so can access it offline.

I showed ticket on mobile last year. Pdf download

I emailed the RFL earlier, and they got back to me and confirmed that.

[iHi,
We recommend printing your tickets for smoother access on the day.

However, there is no reason you couldn’t use your tickets on your phone.

We just ask that if you choose to do this you turn your brightness all the way up on your phone, so the barcodes are easier to scan.

Kind regards,

Was in S122 last year, same again this year. Was a good mix of fans from all clubs but there for the rugby and not the beverages before or after

it strikes me more and more when I go to games, I'm really not bothered about beer at all, even one. To be honest, at home games I buy a beer at half-time because it's something to do that fills in the time! But the beer is expensive, and not good quality, or what I'd choose to drink. I remember the Challenge Cup Final at Spurs; people in front of me spent the entire game tracking back and forth to the bar, for more pints. They must have missed half the match. Happy to wait till I get home, and then have a pint in my local.

I'm with you on this. Pre-game I'm happy to have a pint in the fanzone and then not bother at all inside the stadium. I sit in the South and the queues are ridiculous at times. I've seen folk near me literally miss twenty minutes of a match for the sake of a couple of beers (and it ain't that good either).

People are silly for doing that (and I am definitely not one) but tbh the club really need to sort out the queues. It's completely unacceptable that it takes as long as it does, even when the stands aren't full.

When we played Saints at Cardiff they had a system where they filled 8 pints at a time Tottenham was quick they filled from the bottom up

the beer situation on Saturday wasn't good either - what happened to those automated dispensers, they might have eased the pressure.

Those 2 pint glasses shouldn't be allowed in the half hour before kick off, also get some other decent lager, literally everyone drinking Madri, no one on Carling, was a waste of a tap on the bar.

My partner and I are in S122 this year, good to hear about the mix.

Same here, was sat there last year and it wasn't full of beer monsters so there was none of that stand up sit down for 80 mins

RFL might have to release more blocks at the top of the North Stand if they haven't already been sold, looks like it's heading for a sell out or near as dammit

Going to be an unbelievable atmosphere

i've just bought 4 with the pigeons in W3101 (next to back row, so i should get my steps in for the day too)

the Wigan general sale had only odds and sods, which is good if its true, but equally i'm not sure i trust the system that much, as i couldnt add any ticket into the basket
