They also say tickets are on sale now and when you go to the ticket site they're full price.

Presume some tickets will be made available at a discounted rate or else the game would just be a Wigan v Leeds game and will get it's standard 16-17k crowd.

Apart from the big promotional stuff for these "Big One" events, does anything different actually happen on the night in terms of pre-match/half-time stuff going on?

I'm a loyal season ticket holder. This 'big announcement' does nothing for me

Not really, just have a large allocation of cheap tickets.

This.

The clue was there with the emphasis on "BIG". Those who got over excited and are now having the come down like a 5 year old after too much sugar only have themselves to blame.

I would like to announce my disappointment at both the pre-annoucement and the actual annoucement. Pre-announcements (and announcements) like this do nothing to please hard working happy clappers like myself who are desperate for announcements and pre-announcements of a higher announcing quality

You actually made me laugh out loud...

That wasn't the problem and had they left it at that it would have worked. It was the "set your alarm clocks early" bit was where it fell down. That set the bar higher than this ever was and frankly it wasn't an announcement for Season Ticket Holders to get up for.

agree with you there! I'm all for getting new bums on seats and the concept behind the idea of the big one is great BUT.... imo they have got it wrong with all this build up ect! I think anyone reading a tweet saying "Big announcement coming tomorrow.....set your alarms for this one" could be forgiven for expecting something more than what was announced this morning.

what amazes me more is that they actually found a bona fide milkman

Its better not to get a season ticket as you get more perks without one. Why don't the club announce the "BIG ONE" before the season starts and use the scrum ticket as "the big ticket" or something to improve the attendance. I don't like the way the club has gone about this and like it or not they've mislead their fans, very poor however......it has got people talking.

Its actually on a par with the Huddersfield debacle whereby they ask all fans to stay back after a game as the chairman had a major announcement to tell them and all that was said was that season ticket prices were remaining the same for the next season!!
