I have noticed that the pie eaters have sold their allocation of tickets for the GF and we have a massive amount of room available in the West Stand......Are people hoping to buy these later this week do you think or are we showing up in pityful numbers again for what should be an historical Grand Final Derby and our numbers 9's last ever game!!!!

I have no doubt that we will still outsing the trolls from over the lump as they will be too busy tucking into their favourite gravy filled pastry delights, I just hope we have enough there to make the noise needed to get behind the lads for one final push in bringing our trophy back where it belongs for one last time (KR).

If you are a Saints fan reading this and have not yet bought a ticket...........Shame on you!




If you are a Saints fan reading this and have not yet bought a ticket but are going to.........Get a move on so I am not surrounded by Pie eating trolls!




If you are a Saints fan reading this and are not buying a ticket.................Hang your head in shame, there is no excuse. You should move mountains to be there for this one!!!










If you are a Saints fan reading this and have got your ticket.................Spread the word!!!

Come on you saints, let's ave it!

maybe it is due to the fact that this is saints 8th final in 5 years and it has been a long time since wigan have been to a final

I think there are only sinlge spaces available in our stands so may not appear to be as bad as first thought......Surely Old Trafford have a ticket system that would not allow a single seat to remain in any area??

Yeah right. One of my relatives waited just a couple of hours after my own tickets were bought on Monday and he was told there were only single tickets available from Saints allocation, which means he's virtually sitting on the pitch. That sounds like massive gaps to me.

It can't be as bad as last year because we're playing Wigan this time. But I do know of some fans not going because they don't want to watch us lose for a fourth time.

actually mate, there is an excuse for some people why they cant be there.

There are lots of them, and people shouldn't have to justify themselves if they can't go.

Of course Wigan will take more fans than us, the fact they haven't been to a final for so long will mean there are more of there fans come out of the woodwork for the game. I think we will take more than if we had been playing Leeds again as the derby game buzz will bring more fans out.

acccording to the Guardian this morning, 65k tickets have already been sold. So not exactly going to be massive gaps in the Saints end.

but yes, it should have sold out on Monday morning.

What's the capacity at OT? 75,000?


Hopefully the gaps have been filled by Saints fans and not Pies!

72k I think - reduced because of the big screen.


[iSt Helens have rejected suggestions that their supporters may be outnumbered two to one by Wigan fans at Saturday's Super League Grand Final. Wigan sold out of their allocation of 12,000 tickets inside 48 hours, after four-hour queues formed outside the DW Stadium, whereas Saints still have tickets remaining at Knowsley Road despite sending some back to be sold centrally by the Rugby Football League.

However Tony Colquitt, the St Helens chief executive, believes "it will still be about 50-50 on the day", arguing mischievously that four consecutive Grand Final appearances have left his club's supporters more familiar with the variety of ways in which to buy tickets for Old Trafford.

"If you've not been there for years, you panic," said Colquitt – Wigan's last Grand Final appearance was in 2003. "A lot of the Saints fans know the routine; why would you go and queue up in the rain when you can just pick up the phone? We've had this every year, with a lot of our fans getting tickets from the League, and I'm confident that we'll be very well-supported."[/i

But this is the same man who came on the radio and told fans that the new Stadium would be completed by May 2011.

A friend of mine today bought 10 tickets (all together) an the Saints end today. Go on line and look at sections W310X

I agree, those miners are still trapped down that hole so I will make an allowance for any saints supporters down there!

anyone got a spare pm please and we will sort something out cheers , hope matty smith is man of the match

good luck saints

I hope your friend +9 are saints fans!

Cheeky pies pinching our seats.....

N[ione of the prices you selected could be found. Please contact RFL Ticketing directly or select from a dif[/iferent area.

Did your mate get tickets for the right game?

This morning he got 10. about 10 a.m. I think it was W3102.
Maybe there has been a big demand today, or they have been reallocated to Wigan

As shown below (taken from the site above)

Tickets for the Engage Super League Grand Final at Old Trafford are are currently very limited. The only tickets for two or more people to sit together are in the North Stand Tier 1 and 2, and in the West Stand Tier 2 in the St Helens section and in the North East Quadrant Tier 2 with Wigan Warriors supporters.

I also can only buy tickets for two or more people in the North stand, on the Saints and Wigan sides, so I would say pretty equal with the look of it. Unless all rogues mates have bombarded our stand, god forbid!

I can't remember from previous years but are tiers 1 and 2 in the gods?

Tier 3 is the heavens, I was in teir 2 last year and it was fine, probably depends on how your head for heights is though.

Tiers 1 & 2 aren't bad.

3 & 4 are for mountain goats.

people with a genuine reason for not going is one thing.

personally however, i got no time for people saying they're fed up of old trafford and don't want to see us lose for the 4th year in a row. hardly the best example of supporting your team and your town.

It does get a tad boring don't you think?

really cant see what is boring about a st helens v wigan game in a major final to decide the super league champions. when you add the fact that its keirons last game (which shouldnt actually matter really) then it really is a complete no brainer.

i know its a crude comparison, but i imagine we all watch games of rugby league every week sat on our sofas in front of the tv. could that not be described as getting boring? surely the variety aspect should come from sampling what will be an amazing atmosphere in the stadium itself.

i dont like to have a go at fellow saints fans, but i ll make an exception for you.
you re are talking out of your arrrse.

As a saints fan I started the thread in the hope of getting a few more people who were on the border line of getting a ticket to make that jump, in support of our team!

For you to come on and be down right rude shows a bit of a guilty feeling possibly for not being part of the game?

Of course I know not everyone can make it to the game and the "miner post" was meant in jest!

Hope you enjoy the game on Justin Tv or wherever you get to watch it!

I will be talking out of my asss at Old Trafford!
