I think they might make an exception this time.

https://www.superleague.co.uk/article/3 ... d-trafford Over 50k sold - not 60 but still pretty good. Probably at a level that the RFL would be happy with as if most English clubs had got there instead of Catalans it would likely have sold out.

They've already given away more than enough - a final ticket should cost money. Particularly as Iv just forked out £65!

I understand what your saying in regards to buying your ticket but if there's seats free then why not give them away, if, as a sport, we could get 100 new people to a few games across the league next season, they tell a few of their friends the season after and so on, 10 years down the line a few spare tickets could have made a massive difference.

It came via someone at the RFL so tbh I'm not surprised if it's wrong

Good to get the win but horrible atmosphere in the stands around us (block W207 towards the back). Several fights and people who’d obviously been on the nose bags pre-game. Not what we need - had a pregnant woman and kids in tears around me just as Marshy scores the only try. Left a sour taste in the mouth and hope those scum bags stay away in future.

Yes i went to the 2001 GF and it was the first and last time i went there where "fans" from other clubs who wanted to tease the Wigan fans throught the game i assume the same happend tonight

We took our 5 year old to his first game tonight. Along with his grandma who was at what’s likely to be her last.
The win sadly soured by a couple of drunken Wigan fans behind us. I won’t go into detail but cup finals are crap for this. Far too many gobsh**es who’ve been on the ale, all day.
Not convinced my lad will fancy that for a few years which is sad for us.

Went in the North Stand, you just new the West would be full of folk who were just out for a day session

All the fights around us were Wigan on Wigan to be fair. No trouble from rival fans. Seemingly caused by spilled drinks and differing opinions as to whether you should be standing up all game.

I had a moan about my tix earlier in the week, but to be fair it all worked out really well. North Stand towards the East stand. Good view (usually sit behind the sticks), mainly Wigan fans in the section, few gaps but pretty civilised tbh

We were sat on the end of an isle which I usually like however we were surrounded by a large group of family and friends on the rows in front and next to us.

Initially I thought it was great as they were a mix of ages from babies up to OAP’s and everyone in between.

I was very wrong though.

They hadn’t paid for seats for the younger kids and kicked off when people who had paid for the seats they were taking arrived.

Most of them were absolutely blasted. Kids were just allowed to climb over the seats up and down rows. The ones on our row needed a pee or to go to the bar every 2 minutes as individuals, they seemed unable to go together meaning rather than standing up once to let them through as a group had to keep standing up and sitting down through most of the match. The people in their group in the row in front also did the same usually at key points or even worse just stood up for no reason as at or to chat to someone in their group on one of the other rows.

Got to the point I had to have a word and then they started making out like I was being unreasonable.

One saving grace was most of their party on my row decided to go home at half time.

Didn’t ruin the day but was irritating.

I’m sure most of them won’t remember much about the game due to their levels of intoxication particularly the makes in the group.

Loved the game obviously but horrible experience at old Trafford.

I’m 6ft 4 so the leg room is unbearable.

I’m sounding like an old man but can’t stand them horns, just absolutely pointless. Grown men on a p*ss up blowing them as loud as possible outside the ground. Weird behaviour.

Bloke in front of me vaping throughout the game, no consideration for others.

There was a scrap in another block, everyone more excited looking at that rather than the game.

Sound system was terrible and couldn’t hear a thing (I like Reverend and the Makers too).

I went to Spurs yesterday for the NFL and the experience was night and day.

Get it at the Etihad.

Also the middle 3 blocks behind the sticks should have been reserved for system ticket holders. I’ve not missed a home game this year, paid for the cup quarter final and playoff semi and was on the second row from the back in Block 202 (towards the sideline).


Give me an away game with 2000 die hards any day.
