Wigan club have gone on Twitter saying only 50 tickets left.

Thanks for pointing that out, but my point still remains - no team would ever go ahead and sell all 4 sides of their ground for a game like this and leave none for the away fans. It was a silly comment from NickyKiss.

Where did I say leave none?

Wire sell tickets for that away end whilst also giving the away team an allocation. I'd have thought Saints would 'need' to do the same.

Saints also don't 'need' to give us two full blocks of seating but they do because they're not confident they could sell them to their own fans.

Saints have sold tickets in the East stand.



Again, not true. Saints give away fans the option of sitting as some people (mainly elderly folk) don't like standing.

I've been looking for a couple of months to buy an east stand ticket from Saints and they were never on sale on your site so I think your incorrect.

And on the second point I appreciate that Saints give an option to people who may need/want to stand but a full two blocks? There is no way we have that many fans who will go to Saints and are in desperate need of a seat.

The fact that the North Stand is sold out would suggest that whatever tickets were given to Wigan for that stand have been sold.

There was great grumbling from Wigan fans in the first GF at LP about not enough tickets being allocated to them.

Now they moan that they have been given too many.

Basically they just like to whine.

I recall conversations from that first match about how Wigan should retaliate for Saints not giving enough tickets and not give Saints the whole away stand on the return leg.

The East hold 3800 I think. However there is no seating. So a further 300 - 500 Seats is one of the unallocated sections from the North stand. It's not a lot of seats. But it does allow Wiganer's to have the choice of sitting or standing.

Of course I would not expect any sense 48 hours prior to game time, but in reality it's was the best option to give Wigan a similar allocation as to what Saints get for the away game.

As we sold out our Sections days ago and some have resorted to buying from Wigan, it's clear that Saints could have sold more to home fans, but imagine the noise that would have come about having no seating, or about mixing the away area, that Wigan have traditionally made their own.

No moaning at all from me that we have too many tickets. I'm happy that you've given us a quarter of your ground.

I'm just surprised you guys are so chuffed you've managed to shift 13,500 tickets for such a big game. The crowing you guys have done since your tickets went last week would make you think you'd sold the Nou Camp out! Or even a big superleague ground like the DW!!

Which of course nobody has.



Well at least you're big enough to admit it.

Let me remind you before they do, that at least they do own their own ground, small as it is...

Wigan never sell out if their allocation according to a poster on the Saints board. Well that's 2 out of 2 now which isn't bad considering we get a quarter of the whole stadium.

Should be a cracking atmosphere.

Correct its OUR stadium. Remind me again.... how times have you been kicked out of that stadium you rent? Also, its good that theres no wedding taking place on GF as we would need to shut a whole stand. Oh dear

You know what, if we win tomorrow I don't think I'll be able to celebrate the win because deep down inside I know that we don't own our own ground with cladding. Jog on.
