When Maurice sold me to Leeds something changed, it just not the same, the passion inside me just wasn’t the same as running out at Central park for my hometown club.
We need a change of culture here; we don’t want to be just happy with playing ok on Saturday at St Helens.
Ill make sure that from now on things will change, that players will be under pressure and will train a lot harder than they have before.

How the Premier League table would look if teams were awarded points for famous fans...
20th: Wigan
The Latics don't have any fans, yet alone any famous ones.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_29281.jpg |

From that article I'd say Wigan fans are going to be put in our upper tier for pay on day sales?

| Does anyone know which stand the pay on the day tickets will be in? I'm not 100% sure with work yet so have had to leave it until last minute!  |

ATM there's only our stand (Fantastic Media - Upper) which is POTD.

I don't for one minute believe that you'll outnumber us 5-1, but I do think you'll have more fans there. Leeds fans have been spoiled by success in recent years, and at the merest hint that we might not be successful in a big game, many don't show. There's no appeal anymore, they've been there done that, many times in the last few years. What's new this time? For that reason it's no big deal for them to enjoy/endure it on TV this time. If we win they can turn up to another final if they please, If we lose they can turn the channel over and forget about it for another year. If we get through to the final I expect it to be a struggle to sell our tickets again.
I'll be there though, sadly in a half full stadium.

Wigan's stand behind the sticks holds just short of 4k (I think) then you've got the 3 blocks in the side stand.
EVERY time we've had a semi-final at the Galpharm we've been able to sell the upper tier as well as the lower. I spoke to loads on Friday night who aren't going because they don't want to sit in the lower section as the view is terrible.
It's going to be interesting to see if they open it on the day for the walk ups.'"
The upper tier is to be opened now !! |

Who in their right mind gets bored of success?? Especially after all the years of sh*t that Leeds fans have suffered?? |

It's a fair point, in a way, though; look at the way our attendances started dropping mid-90's, when we were still winning everything in sight. Admittedly, there were other factors, not least the switch to summer, but I think it's still the case that a lot our fans were getting, if not bored, at least a bit complacent, and picking and choosing the games more carefully.

The odd league match when you're expected to pile 70 points on someone yes, but not the semi final of the cup FFS! |

We're in a digital tv age chaps. sky plus, beer available from Tescos, drink driving issues, busy lives, traffic, downturn. Lots of non traditional fans will watch it on telly. Big live crowds have gone for good, but interest in th game is very much alive.
Best of luck Saturday, it has to be Wigan / Wire this year !

Dropped a rather large bollok this week, in that I have been working away and not had chance to order a ticket.
I take it the Wigan stand behind the sticks is now sold out?
Have we been allocated another stand? I'm looking to drive up but don't fancy being sat with the Yaarkshire lot.

I believe there's still a few hundred tickets left at the ticket office in Huddersfield for our stand, I'll be heading straight there once I'm off the train.

People who's lives don't revolve around sport perhaps. People that have plenty of other things they can do with their lives. As Leeds fans we've been spoilt over the last few years and to be quite honest the novelty has worn off to an extent. It happened at Wigan and it happened at Bradford.
I can't fully explain it because I'm desperate for us to win the Challenge Cup and like I say, I'll be there, I always am. I'm disappointed that more people don't turn out. But to be fair only now have I started to get excited about the game. A few years ago I'd have been looking forward to it in midweek.

Go back in history. The semi finals have never attracted big crowds. I thought the "away" crowds from both sets today were very impressive. At Wakefield last week, the Wigan away support was the best away support I've seen for a long time.
Good luck for the Grand Final. I wanted Wire-v-Wigan for the Wembley final, for the spectacle and the support. I hope I get it at Old Trafford.
