Dropkick Murphy..we actually saw and heard a mass of bouncing and scarf and flag waving to Dale Cavese that drowned out anything we could muster.. It stopped us singing our own celebratory songs, it died out seconds later when we accepted we couldn't be heard over the Wigan lot
Celebrations muted from us, job done from them. Most fans who slag them off are jealous their own club's support is nowhere near that good
-
sally cinnamon..Why not discuss Wigan? It's a rugby league message board. Wigan are the most famous brand in rugby league
-
Tre Cool..Saints fans are hopeless unless it's a cup final or grand final. Wigan fans are so much more loyal and passionate
-
the flying biscuit..Wires havent been massively succesful over the years, but I've spoke to Brian Bevan And he spoke to me and i wouldnt swap that for Wigans History, ever
-
Ande..on the TV i could only hear the Wigan fans with about 10 to go
-
Saint94..Every team is in your feckin shadow, we all know

I think the aim should be to get a bigger crowd than as many other teams in super league have done against us.
Quins
Cas
Wakey
Salford
Crusaders
Get bigger crowds than these teams normally get against us and it will be a good effort.
The club should do everything they can to push 10k IMO. Give away a whole free stand and sell the rest for £5 and £10 for adults and consessions.
They could even do what we have done for this weeks quins game, get a sponsor or two to buy loads of tickets and give them to workers.
Have a huge kids tournament the day of the game with 300-400 young kids and give them all a ticket.

If... and it's a big if.. we get past Lez's XIII.. then I would expect something of a carnival atmosphere at the game, probably something like the Salford match the year before last but better. Keep it off the TV though. We have an excellent opportunity and SOC normally doesn't miss opportunities like this to promote the club. |

We can't just do a Salford or Crusaders or Quins to get bums on seats.
I remember Salford in 2008, that was marketed perfectly. School kids performing, mums and dads paying to see them and the match as well. Things like that.
Either way, we want a lot of paying speccies through the doors.

There's been at least two occasions in the past two years when the club has put on special entertainment and ticket offers, how much would you like them to do? |

You won't be allowed to give out any freebies anyway with it being the Challenge Cup. However, I do believe the RFL have set the ticket pricing at a maximum of £12 for this round, so surely that's enough of an offer to hope for a decent crowd?

I am truly jealous you have a home tie against a local SL club, would you like Bradford away on the Friday night instead, please.
I cant remember when we last got a home tie in a cup ko.

Well, at least you managed to get a bigger and more successful club than yourselves at home .

Half 7 kick off on a Saturday Night is hardly fan friendly. But we shall see how tickets sell.

I thought it would be Saturday Night but half 7 seems a bit late. 6pm would have been more reasonable.
