Sorry but Saints have been to five Grand Finals in a row. The fact that Wigan have a far greater appetite for Grand Final tickets is hardly a surprise considering this.

Let me have my fun.

True or not!!

Oh I do apologise, I thought the 2k going back came from the 12k, so it was actually from the 10k?
Ah Well, you can't always be right can you? Unless your Tony Smith of course!

Which makes it even worse then.
I suppose they will be gone by Friday anyway, I know loads of Wiganers who haven't yet managed to get tickets.

you got yours yet mat?

Do you think we would struggle to sell 8,10 or 12k tickets for a GF if we were on our fifth in a row? I dont. I thought the Saints fans would be lapping them up with it being KFCs last game at the grand final against the enemy.

Yes. Especially if we'd lost the last three and many neutrals were tipping the opposition to win.

Murrayfield 2002 - barely 8000 tickets sold from Wigan when we expected to lose.

I don't think its so much expectation of defeat from St Helens but more the fear of going through the awful feeling all over again after 3 years running. And like I said its not exactly a novel experience for them in playing at Old Trafford.

Spot on fella, there wouldnt be the clamour for tickets had we made a final in recent times.

and remember the e we got for the murryfield attendance.

As Matty says, it just makes it even worse, though I wouldn't underestimate how many Saints fans must buy through the RFL earlier in the season in expectation of getting to the Grand Final for the umpteenth year in a row.

Not sure many (On top of the regulars that all clubs have) would have bought prior to actually getting there seeing as most of them didn't fancy their chances up until the last month or so especially as getting a ticket is usually no problem so why take the risk?

Well done Matt ,have a rest, get planning for a little match in Feb, hopefully.
