I wouldn't be surprised, disappointed, but not surprised. It's a Thursday and the prospect if having to shell out again on Saturday for OT tickets can't be ignored. Plus, although I don't expect charity, I thought the discount for ST holders was a bit mean.

| I think it will be around 7k but probably announced at 8,400ish to save some embarrassment.

| It won't be anywhere near what it should be for a game of this importance, but I think it will break 5 figures.
Considering it's the only home game of the season that a ST can't be used for, when in the old system there was usually 2, it is poor that there hasn't been a bigger demand. RL tickets aren't expensive and it completely devalues the product to reduce ticket prices for big games.

| I think someone has been taking the urine. A massive announcement on the club website about massive queues and rapid ticket sales , 2 days of jammed phone lines and crashing sales websites, a seating plan showing it selling out fast. Panic buyers ( like me ) ..and for what? Today there seems sales are so poor you can walk up and pay on the turnstile.
Me ? I have to circumnavigate the stadium and queue to pick up tickets which cost an extra 2 quid to pre order.
Like The song says...." we wont get fooled again"

| As though there was ever a chance you wouldn't be able to pay on the gate!! The ground holds 25k.
Sure the people who queue up need help.

I stop over at the Premier Inn in the town centre normally . It's just this time cant get Friday off (developing a nice cough tho' and working on it ) lol.

I will be sat in the West Stand freezing because all the Season ticket holders round about me will be absent because they have to pay this time . I understand times are tight but cant get my head around why you would watch all season and bale out at the last minute . Regards , EW

Weird that half the crowd that turned up to potentially watch us lift a tea tray won't turn up for a proper game (our biggest of the year).'"
Most of the season ticket holders around me attend because they have already paid . Pay again no chance . Half of them were walking out the other week when Matty Smith was taking the last minute kick against Leeds and didn't even turn round to see if he had scored . The other half had already left .

| Maybe the trip to millwall for a home game will come back to haunt the club? Fans as they often do, vote with their feet.

But PO attendances have pretty much always been poor. I was dead against the Millwall game but, if anything, I think if such a large proportion of our core fan base can't be bothered to attend a home semi final it completely justifies IL trying to generate interest elsewhere.

We've not had a good crowd (by our standards) for a play off tie for years so doubt that's got anything at all to do with it.
It's a creative way of people bashing that game and Lenagans decision though should they wish to.

27588.gif "Games as big as a grand finals define individuals and clubs. Remember we are only renting these shirts, I had my time in Pat Richards shirt. Ellery and Faz had there time in Sean's, Hampo and Radders in Sam's. You have to make a mark in these shirts that's still there the day you hand it over to someone else. So be aware for 80 minutes you are not only playing but also writing history and creating a legacy. How many people get to actually write history, not many. A big stage demands big players, be inspired. You play for Wigan, now go do it. Good luck." - Martin Offiah, 2010.:27588.gif |

| The typical profile of rugby league fan worries me now. Our sport is fair with its prices considering its elite, top-level sport and it you compare it to other sports.
This is this the biggest game of the SL season and is sure to be a fantastic contest with the winner getting to the Grand Final.
Despite all this, people still harping on about costs of tickets etc. It's pathetic, Union got over 30,000 fans for Samoa v USA game the other day and even over 10,000 for Tonga Georgia. Our games on its
