When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

Yep theres not so many left on the Wigan ticketing website BUT theres thousands left at the RFL, dont forget the window lickers are organising the game thus theyve decided to keep thousands of tickets at Redhall, owt could happen!!

Thanks RFL for letting us have some tickets for a game at our own ground involving our own team!! Youre the best   |

Got an extra ticket for a Catalan friend who's coming over for the game. There were no tickets next or near to us and the majority available were single seats rather than groups.

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

9k tickets still to be sold if the game is to sell-out. I would expect to easily pass the 20k mark. It really depends on what sort of people are up for going. If every who attended the GF is planning on going then obviously we will sell-out.
There will certainly be a push for ticket sales at the magic weekend with things on the big-screen and obviously Eddie and stevo will talk about it on sky. It's kind of a shame we don't have a home game the week before to push sales but I guess we should hope for a sell-out with it being our first game in Wigan for the season.

Spot on. And what a game to open the new season at home. |

Don't worry about it. As I've said all along the game will sell out no danger - in all likelihood with a week to spare. |

I reckon that too. Wigan fans are notoriously slow purchasers, we'll sell out no problem. |

SAINTS THE ORIGINAL AND PERENNIAL CHEATS
For sale full Saints kit (circa 1989). Shirts in pristine condition, but shorts badly soiled.
For 27 - 0 you get a trophy
For 75 - 0 you get sod all.
Wigan had eight in a row
Saints have five in a row:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_3076.jpg |

Really happy with the sales so far and as the game gets closer and the new season starts I expect them to keep picking up. Anything less then a complete sell out would be a suprise now tbh and thats going to create an amazing atmosphere. It really is a game that should live long in the memory and make the DW feel abit more like home with the history we'll be building up there.
I can't wait.

I think thats the main reason this ground has never felt like home. The biggest moments we have had are wins against Saints and probably the one in the last minute against Bradford. More memories of the place will make it feel like home. Central Park is remembered more than most grounds for the amazing games there especially the Manly one. I want to be telling my kids in 20-30 years time about the time we beat St George and became the greatest team on the plannet with players like Tomkins and Richards. The ground will definantly feel like home if we win infront of a full house all cherry and white with flags waving and fans chanting! I can't wait.
I am pretty optimistic of a sell-out now due to Leeds sales at this time last year and as people have said we do buy tickets pretty slowly. The run up to the game should see thousands trying to get hold of them. I would love to be walking towards the ground on match day over the bridge and get asked if I need a ticket by a few touts, that would be fantastic! |
