How do you know they're not?
What were you expecting - a sellout to be announced two months before the night of the game?

No, why would you think that? For a club famous for its excellent support, in perhaps the most interesting WCC for some time, I would expect more than figures to be limping towards the 10,000 mark, and to not have desperate, and IMO, inaccurate, comparisons to Leeds' figures from last season in order to justify this.

| Not sure how the computer booking system takes account of actual sales as against generally ticket availability, for example those tickets sold via the RFL,but having just booked another 6 there seems to be less than 15% availability in the North, West and South stands and not a lot more in the East. Maybe Wigan aren't shouting about it becauuse they don't need to?

It doesn't give much of a representation of sales as the RFL have been allocated most of the North but they will show as 'sold' on the system.

Any idea on sales through the RFL to non Wiganers?

Not many the last I heard but I'd expect it to pick up soon. I think neutrals might be torn between the Magic weekend and the WCC, to be honest.

If I was a neutral I'd be going to the Magic Weekend rather than the WCC tbh

Half empty stadium with an overload of meaningless games or a game between the two best sides in the world? No contest IMO.

Let's hope we get a few (thousand) more thinking along the same lines!

| If anybody is like me, I've not even thought of purchasing tickets over Xmas for a game that is two months away.
Now that the hectic holiday period is over, I'll be looking to purchase my ticket within the next week or so.

Exactly the same. We'll be getting our 7 tickets this week and i'd imagine there will be plenty of others with the same mindset.

39110_1363272058.jpg 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

| It isn't. Pretty much all the ones in the North have been given to the RFL and are shown as sold. I think sales are starting to approach 10k but it's apparently way more than Leeds had sold this time last year.
