By last week when do you mean? The game was Friday night.

If Trueman doesn't go we still have Roberts though who on his day can be class.

Issue is its our best players who are carrying knocks. Not just the squad players. How is it being melodramatic.... Stating a fact of our injury situation.

"In a bad place" is hyperbolic nonsense, especially given no player has been confirmed as definitely out.

I mean Friday not long after he did it. He said it wasn't serious and seemed unconcerned. As I say, he could have learned otherwise after getting it checked out over the weekend

Apparently the percentage of season ticket holders who have bought tickets for the semi final is very low.

It really does baffle me. Why would you follow the team all year and then not want to go to the do or die game at the end? Fingers crossed there is a late surge but I think some so called fans need to have a look of themselves. They're no good to the team in their armchairs at home.

Credit to the Cas fans for the huge following they will bring.

It's bizarre but lots of season ticket holders seem to follow that pattern. You would think that after 20 years of having playoffs to decide the title that people would be starting to attend the playoff games (pre final) in greater numbers but many seem to disregard the most important matches in the whole competition year after year.

No doubt we will also get a plethora of "Saints are the real champions" threads on the various boards should they not win the GF.

It is hard to understand. You'd think pretty much ALL season ticket holders would want to support their team in the most important game of the season so far. Simply bizarre!

And the ticket system worked perfectly, I have had issues getting my regular seat previously. This time no problem the ticket was there in my account basket when I went to buy it. Ive taken the day off so that I don't have to worry about traffic. Its hard to fathom a home semi final and fans wont go?

Apathy towards the game maybe ? The super 8s have been really poor and void of excitement and competition.


Then literally crash bang wallop 2 semis in 2 days then the big one next Saturday.

Maybe people are saving their money for next week?Although I find it amazing how poor play off attendances are, we should be looking at 20k plus with the rumoured Cas following but it probably won’t be over 14k.

Nearly sold all our 4500 allocated tickets. I'd imagine there's a few chance their arm and just rock up

As you'll have gathered, if any Cas fans do turn up and can't get in the North Stand then there'll be plenty room elsewhere in the ground.

There appears to be a degree of apathy amongst Wigan fans to semi finals. Perhaps its the success of the 80s and 90s, which meant there'd always be a final to follow, that has created this culture.

Other clubs have lower attendances for the semis, but nowhere near as large a drop as Wigan. Considering Cas have shifted 4500 and we have around 9000 season ticket holders who get a £5 discount, anything below 12K would be embarrassing.

I'm not a ST holder and I don't live locally, but I'd be interested to know why any ST holder would not be there on Friday.

The club need to survey those who haven’t bought and find out the reasons why. They have the information to do it, it could be done and emailed out tomorrow. Hard to understand really.
