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.

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.

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.

Correct always went on the train when they had one early start Saturday morning and no rushing back.

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 .

Definitely, and I'm sure that will have taken some off the attendance from a Wigan perspective.

This will by first miss since I went in 84 the lack of train is the main reason as we have used Virgin or special on our last 6/7 visits.

Of the 9 others who usually make the trip only two are gong for similar reasons.

Some people may think this is a poor reason but i spend enough time on the motorways of our country Monday - Friday working and have no desire to do it on my days off.

Hope everyone has a safe trip and lets hope for a classic with a Wigan win !!

I got our tickets through the RFL, and wasn't asked which club I supported, so not sure how they've got any sort of accurate figures as to who has sold the most tickets.

Regarding the overall crowd, yeah, with Club Wembley not counted in any more, it will appear lower, but it's no different from counting club attendance figures that include season tickets whether they attend or not.

Our CEO has said our ticket sales are more than this year, and believe that 23k are attributed to Hull, though how they gather that information I don't know. Must be sales through the club, and sales through the RFL to HU post codes. It won't count the people who have bought through the RFL and live outside of Hull though
