We'll just tell everyone we did, it's not our fault, it's a conspiracy against us to say we didn't, the RFL want Saints look good for the TV and us look bad to create a narrative for the game, just say every other club didn't seel out but they didn't get called out by Saints fans because there's a conspiracy against us, blame it on Jonny Lomax even though he did nothing to get him a ban/sent off, then say we'll we were oy looking for an advantage.
You get the script

You dont sell your allocation at Wigan,you being the greatest team of all time .

Anyway I will be there so be .

Really? I seem to recall Good Friday being a complete sell out and that was on the back of a poor start to the season from us. Plus its an extra 2,000 allocation which we then asked for more and ended up with some fans down the side

I'm genuinely surprised. Wigan have always travelled well in numbers and given its a Friday night with great weather and its not peak holiday season then I don't understand it. I get you have a few injuries in the forwards however you are at full strength 1-7 and anything can happen in a Derby. You've won well with injuries before so its not insurmountable.

Different scenario though Stu, Good Friday always draws a bigger support. We can't be there tonight but will be watching fro Angel Bar, Pefkos, Rhodes.

Is the rest of the ground sold out mate ?

It was also Good Friday....

Your arguments are getting weirder and weirder Stu. Are yo sure you're not spending too long on Redvee?

As for "the rest" of our fans, I'm pretty sure there'll be a couple thousand there. I could be wrong of course as "the rest" of us apparently aren't going. Enjoy yourself on your own in the away end Jason. It seems you'll have lots of room.

Singleton had one his worst games of his career on Good Friday, it shouldn't be possible to get worse than that but you never know. All I hope for is that he doesn't get sent off because the scoreline could then get really messy.

Do you always sell out at the DW?
I seem to remember you guys bringing circa 2000 some times back in the day? Particularly non Good Friday games?
Win a couple of games, gat a few back from injury and diabolical should never have been suspensions and all of a sudden some people start getting a bit vocal.

I can see the above now intimates that Wigan fans are not selling out because we don't think we can win?
I'll be there, after shelling out circa £600 over the month of May for 2 away trips to Hull Thursdays nights, Leeds away challenge cup and inc Magic weekend, £1000 if you include Catalans away flights and Hotels paid for last month and that's for me only, God forbid what some families etc have had to shell out.

Anyway I'm sure it is all down to most fans thinking we can't win etc.

Edit

Plus 60/70 today for ticket coach and scoops
Probably 50ish again next weekend for a Challenge cup all pay game
And again week after for Salford ticket/coach away game

Thank God there's no cost of living crisis, or practically 2months without a real home game

I believe there were less than 400 left yesterday.

Why do you have to be so argumentative? I bet you are a hoot at parties. Wind your neck in.

I'm also the guy that offered to help your lad with his podcast through my contact at Wigan. I posted it on the thread and you blatantly ignored it..

Anyway, suddenly getting a bit vocal? I've made no predictions about the game nor made any arrogant comments. I've simply aired the fact that I'm surprised you haven't sold the away end out.

Yes we don't always sell the away end out at the DW but if we bring 3k in a 5.5k allocation then that's a great effort and would fill the away stand at Saints. I don't recall us bringing less than 3k for a long time even last Sept when we had a lot of injuries and most Saints fans knew you would beat us.

You don't remember bringing less than 3 thousand for a "long time". Would this "long time" coincide with your winning the last 4 titles by any chance? I remember lots of poor Saints crowds over the years. I'm pretty sure you've discussed plenty over on Redvee relatively recently.

What people are reacting to here is your "willy measuring". If you'd taken even a cursory look at our fixture list recently you'd realise that taking a couple thousand over to your place after the month we've had as supporters is actually quite a good effort. Doubly so given we go into it still decimated in the forwards, on the back of some very poor form and against an all but full strength Saints team.

Even Matt Peet alluded to this very thing recently, which I have little doubt you'd have seen.

Its not "willy measuring" at all. All supporters are struggling with a cost of living crisis and others go through similar patches of away games.

Just off the top off my head we haven't had a home game since Salford. We've had Halifax A then Leeds A then Magic Weekend. That's off the back of taking the most ever fans to Catalans.
