I'm pretty sure that if Robbo could do that that he would.

In that case, I apologise for the sarcasm.

Now those fans who sit and watch in pubs spending the money that they could have spent on a ticket are the ones that get on my nerves. You know the ones they usually quote the line "I'm not paying for a ticket" before spending twice that at the bar.

| Quote: Robbo "I struggled to fork out for a season ticket, at the minute I cant afford to be paying 20 quid for a ticket a week before I (provided we win) need to be forking out £40 + for a gf ticket and transport to OT. I have no choice but to be watching it at home. does that make you sick? Why do people start crying about people who can't always go to matches and would rather watch on sky? people have familys to provide for and bills to pay.it is a lot of money and not everyone's fortunate enough to have the time or money to make Wigan RL their number one priority in life. there'll no doubt be fair weather fans turning up if we get to old trafford but isn't that the case the world over? If you have a season ticket you will have no problem getting a final ticket anyway so why start calling for semi final attendee's to get priority? what about the people who have watched every home game in the regular season but don't have the money to be paying for 3 matches in 4 weeks?'"
Couldn't agree more, What "makes me sick is people being made to feel gulity for not attending a game. I am not going on Friday because I simply cannot afford to fork out the £34 it would cost for me and my daughter to attend. I don't feel guilty about this, dissapointed yes, but not guilty and anybody who says they are made to "feel sick" or annoyed at people choosing to stay at home are just ignorant, nobody on here knows other peoples circumstances and to suggest that people should "work a bit harder" to be able to sustain their hobby is just laughable. I have a season ticket for myself and my daughter, I have attended every home game, several away games and almost every U20's fixture so I'm sure my commitment to the club cannot be questioned due to not attending one play off fixture.
I will definitely be sat with the superleague tickets site on my PC during the game on Friday to hopefully secure tickets if we win (hopefully paid for by my parents ) and in no way am I ashamed about this, firstly due to the fact that as previously been mentioned I am a season ticket so I have a better chance than most of getting tickets anyway but more importantly sitting and clicking a few keys on a PC is much easier than either ringing the club or going queueing up. perhaps I could use the time I save on not queueing doing some extra work to faclitate me going to more play off fixtures next year

I'm not going to waste my time (regardless of how much spare time I have. ) arguing over why I can't afford to go to a match. My post was a generalisation which I feel will apply to a lot of people. Of course the people who will spend countless wads of cash in the pub rather than fork out for a ticket are annoying. I'm not denying that. But that minority is not the reason there will be a lower attendance than there should be on Friday but some people just can't seem to understand that . There will be plenty of people who won't be there on Friday (i know a number of season ticket holders who cant make it) with very valid reasons and it just bugs me when we get the whole, well I can afford to go to the match and you can't so that makes me a better fan and I should get priority thing.
The RFL are getting greedy. Theres no need for an 8 team playoff other than financial gain.

Fair comment, I don't think anyone can argue with that.
For the record, I've got my ticket for Friday......I do pick and choose my away fixtures, though.

I am going off certain people I know who have done exactly that in past and I'm guessing a lot are the same. Band wagon jumpers

Band wagon jumpers are still fans and still provide financial and vocal support to the club and may very well continue to attend games and become "regular" supporters

| Tried to get tickets today.
Other half reported she couldn't get to the ground for road closures.
Can't be helping tickets sales.
That's 2 not bought - AS YET!

So because you've got a few mates who've got tickets off the RFL, which anyone can all throughout the year, you're peed off?

| I said I guess many others do the same not just my mates hence why 30,000 got to finals. Nearly double our average gate this season.

| Imagine if we only took 14,500 (our average for home fans this season) to OT and Wembley, both ends would have masses of empty seating - much like the Rhino's end last year at Wembley.
Back in the 80's we took 45k+ to Wembley on occasions, it's a fact of life that supporters will make a day out of it at finals and bring along additional family members. At the end of the day if you are a season ticket holder then you are guaranteed a finals ticket.
