Just popped in to get 5 tickets for the game. Hull's initial allocation was half of the East Stand and the North End (Wigan with the other half and other end). Hull were then given half of the West Stand. We've now been given the entire West Stand as well.

I asked if it was likely to sell out and he told me Wigan had only sold 600 (yes, six hundred) tickets! Surely that can't be true?! If so, that's a horrendous worry from them.

maybe they are all waiting for the final, saving their pennies, a couple of them on their forum are certain they are going to beat us

How would Hull know how many wigan have sold? 600 sounds like fiction

A usually reliable Wigan fan on Twitter said a couple of days back that their sales were around 700.

Seemed unlikely but who knows? Their official website was still plugging sales of their original allocation on Wednesday. I think they had an allowance of four per passholder too.

Who cares how manys there as long as the result is right....but to some on here it will be "well we lost but we had more fans"

You really have an attitude problem - there are tablets you can take to make you feel calmer you know?

Agree with you mate, all people ever seem to talk about is attendances. Even if the place was empty as long as we won it would not matter!

If people don't attend games, it affects the game as a whole.

It's embarrassing that a 15k stadium is struggling to sell out a semi final between two of the biggest clubs in the country.

On a related point that tackle by O'Loughlin looked a shocker. 31 referrals without charge though, fair to assume he'll get SOS.

Hope I*m wrong but it looks like the Challenge Cup is losing its appeal big time...

Back when RL was almost on a par with soccer with attendances in the 30s/40s/50s you'd see at least 60k for 2 semi finals. The record for a semi is just shy of 70k at odsal, could you imagine that sort of crowd now?

I can see why Wigan fans aren't going to turn out in anything like our numbers tbh, Friday evening game on the other side of the pennines.
it's much more hassle coming from Wigan to Donny than it is for me in North Hertfordshire.
ATEOTD as above, don't care how many they bring so long as we win.

And its on Terrestrial TV...

lots of so called fans are only interested in the cup if your team makes the final,then everybody wants a ticket.bandwaggoners I call them.

Aye but bandwaggeners buy a load of merchandise just for the day boosting income.
