Anybody have any ideas?

The club said on Twitter last night that there were still tickets available.

I spoke to the club yesterday. We've officially sold 7, but 1 of those might not go as Reg has an appointment about his piles at 4.20, so it depends how sore he is on the day.

Oh dear, all seating in the Pie Dome as well.

Someone mentioned in the region of 1,000 at the start of the week...

It has been mentioned that Wigan could sell tickets in the North stand to Wigan fans as they have more or less filled their home section (according to Bilko on Twitter)

I'll be watching on the telly

Yep I'm watching on TV. Its a nothing game they've won the Hub Cap and we can't go lower than third. Not even worth the bragging rights to be honest.

If it gets boring, Paralympics on Ch4 or ESPN America Yankees V Red Sox.

I'll probably just watch a film if it goes the way the etihad game went

I've heard you sold in the region of 2,000.

Absoultley shameful that.

Really?

Yes really! For christ sakes its a derby and the lads need supporting. I bet if Saints where going for 1st position the North Stand would have been sold 3 times over. All because Wigan are getting the hubcap at the end of it people arent going! Its shameful!

It looks as though Wigan will be now be selling tickets for the North Stand. www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.a ... 512&type=1

It's a meaningless games, we're probably going to lose, we'll have to tolerate seeing them rejoicing and parading their hubcab around as though they're the greatest team in the history of the world, and we've probably got 2 games at Warrington and another at home to have to find money for in the next 3 weeks. Frankly I'd consider 2000 a pretty good turnout considering.

What is shameful is taking the novelty out of the derby game by playing three matches in the regular season with the last one (my favourite away day) being a week before the play offs. Including CC and play off games that's far too familiar.

I will be watching on tv Friday whilst going out having a good time, safe in the knowledge that the same game could happen next week only it would have all the meaning in the world. First Wigan-Saints game I've missed in over 20 years other than for holidays, but I simply can't justify spending the travel and match ticket money on it.

2000 would be a fair effort given the game means almost nowt to your guys. It only means anything to us because we'll lift the hubcap(and that doesn't mean that much).

There's simply too many derbies nowadays and that doesn't help either. We're guaranteed 3 a year at the minute and for the 2nd year on the trot it looks like we'll get 5 or 6.

I remember a time when a derby seemed to take an age to come round, now it feels like there's one every few weeks!

Absolutely agree. I remember we used to occasionally play 4 or 5 a season back in the '80s too with the Lancashire Cup, JP Trophy, CC, Premiership and our usual pre-season friendly, but at least most of them were meaningful and impactful games that were eagerly anticipated. If either of us wins or loses heavily on Friday it hardly matters does it? Even if we meet in the playoffs the week after it still won't really matter as we'll still just have to do the same thing again 2 weeks later. And that's just sad... I used to eagerly look forward to every derby game, even when we had a **** team and loads of injuries and knew for a fact that you were just inevitably going to humiliate us again - I still looked forward to it. I couldn't really care less if whether I watch Friday's game or not....

I for one wouldnt be going if it wasnt included in the season ticket, i think 2000 is a decent figure considering we will probably play each other next week. Even next week will be pointless because of the second chance stuff, the play off structure needs a complete overhaul. Getting pretty bored of the derby too, if we meet in the play offs it will have been 12 fixtures in 2 seasons, its losing its prestige for me (even if we do smash you again

)

I,ve been to 2 derby's already this season, so I,m restricting myself to one more game out a possible 3, which will be the game that matters. In theory Friday is a nothing game if Catalans are expected to win, which means we have another nothing game the week after.
Reckon we will miss out on a grand final appearance this year unless Wellens plays scrum half.

That's your football mentality. The day we as Rugby League fans can't stand/sit together without it "getting messy" would be a very sad day for our game.

On the most part, RL fans are fantastic as was shown by the Hull KR fans we were talking to when we were in the Well on Sunday.

As a Wigan fan, it wouldn't enter my head to not go in the North Stand in case something happened if I was looking to buy a ticket for the game.

Overkill is definitely playing a part In the apathy towards this game.
However the fact that we are so boringly one dimensional these days Is a bigger factor IMO.
I am beginning to get concerned at my own disinterest In the game at the mo. I really hope Nathan Brown can bring back the style of Rugby that gets me counting the days down to the next game.

Your club were selling tickets in the 'Wigan End' to home fans at least a week before the Good Friday game.

And will be selling season tickets in there next year I believe.
