| I read this thread expecting to see a load of posts about "how many we'll beat them by".
Pleasantly surprised that the vast majority are expecting a humdinger of a semi, which could go to either team (although Wigan, rightly, will start as favourites).
Here's hoping the game lives up to the billing, just a shame the game couldn't grace Wembley.
Come On You Saints!

| I always go but I was hoping after the win against Wire, I'd be able to order a ticket because the ends will have been allocated. Now we have drawn Saints I can't commit myself as I might end up in with the enemy if the worst comes to the worst.

| The Catalans game should be a warning to Wigan that they can't underestimate these smaller clubs in the semis.
They all have their good days and can be dangerous.

But are you suggesting you know which end our side of the semi-draw has been allocated for Wembley?

| I'm assuming they've allocated one end to the winners of Wigan v Saints and the other to Leeds or Cas.

51917_1302207978.jpg [quote="Rob Wire":qtnftxzx]WIGAN ARE BACK to what exactly ? Oh i see what you mean, back to beating weakened teams. How many key players did we have missing in the cup ?
Just remind us again how many key players did Saints have missing in last years grand final ?
When did you actually last beat a strong Saints or Warringtom team ? Don't include beating us last year at the HJ, we had a lead of around 14pts and were cruising then we lost both Briers and Monaghan, another example of Wigan capitalising on other teams misfortunes.[/quote:qtnftxzx]

No. I want to be in the wigan end preferably but won't just in case the result goes against us.

| Quote: stillinthepast "Since the win on Saturday I have spent a bit of time on tinternet looking for hotels for the final at Wembley, hoping to get one a bit cheaper before the finalists are known.
The questions I am asking are am I jumping the gun by doing this and are Wigan supporters thinking that the hard work as been done by winning at the Wire.
Also how tough do fans think it is going to be against Saints?.'"
Your not being over optimistic. On Saturday we won the hardest game which I believe will give us the confidence to win a much bigger game. Saints will be tough and probably closer than wire but we have the class to beat them.

| Borehamwood Elstree have plenty of hotels
Then you have a choice of Elstree & Borehamwood station to Hendon Station, catch bus 83 to Wembley
or
Bus 107 to Stanmore, Jubilee line to Wembley (probably quicker)
Watford is also a good place to go

| Catalan, AAAGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
I booked a whole weekend for me and my wife in Kensington with tickets to the theatre on the Friday and the final on the Saturday! It cost us a fortune and then we lost the semi final.
Got on the coach at DW on the Friday morning and the whole lot of em looked fed up. I asked how many bought tickets before the semi and virtually the whole coach put their hand up and laughed!
We then had a fantastic weekend and watched the final with replica Wigan shirts and a French beret on!
To answer the question, just book it it's gonna be a great weekend no matter what!

| I still can't bring myself to book it...
Despite the fact that we'll go to LDN even if we aren't at Wembley, I just feel too much of a jinx!
I can't do it!

| I still blame my dad for booking the tickets before the Catalan Semi.
If we do win, does anybody know if the tickets will be on sale first thing Sunday morning, like with the Grand Final tickets?
