with talk of the pies brringing 3k+ next week,i hope the club can do some big promo effort in the next few days(m.e.n/advertiser/big posters all around our great city etc!)do get 5000 salford fans through the gate to create a 8-9000 crowd and great atmosphere!let kids in with a paying adult/£10 an adult if 4 or more tickets bought etc.....come on lets geta big crowd in and give the piesa run for there money!!

To be honest the clubs marketing is none excistant can you really see the club really promoting this one i cant

well if there gonna at least really try and promote a game it should be this one,and not quinns or catalans at home!get big posters everywhere with cheap offers on and im sure it will add a few on the gate!

First Sunday home game of the season. Looking forward to seeing the thousands of fans who don't like Friday night games turn out for this one.

well i will be cheering for you because you will need all the support you can get. wigan look like a very good team this season and that was very hard for me to say.

Still we only have to play them 3 times in the next seven weeks

Thanks for that, although I think we may need more than your cheering to turn them over next week

Would be great to see 8000-9000 for this match but the club will need to pull their fingers out for this to happen. I don't want to be pessimistic after 2 great home performances on the trot but I really can't see us making it a hat-trick against the pies

. Sod's law Goulding bags a hat-trick against us as well

.

I wouldn't be suprised if they out number us, with it being a Sunday and against Wigan and we've just won 3 out of 5 games is it? I hope we can get a good few fans on Sunday and get the shed rocking and get behind the lads, they deserve it!

I'd say there'll be about 6,500 there. About 3,500 from Salford, 3,000 from Wigan. Hopefully we can break the 7k mark, but I doubt it

There should be a very good following coming from Wigan.

We've taken the best support(in league games) I can remember for a long time to all 4 of our away games so far at Wire, Bradford, Cas and Saints so i'd expect Sunday to be no different.

3,000 minimum I would imagine. Hopefully the crowd will break the 7k barrier because the Salford team deserves it after these past couple of weeks.

If everyone were to bring a mate who's not been before/for a while, we'd double the number of home fans.

Simple.

You know, for the first time this year, I'm genuinely excited about a game. Hell I know we're likely to get a drubbing but so bl00dy what. A properly dominant Wigan side are coming to the Willows for the first time in bl00dy years!!! That's not happened since I was a kid. In fact, it was 1996. And my word, we all remember what happened that day don't we kids.

My mind kept drifting to the Salford game during our win against Wakey yesterday and I couldn't help but keep thinking back to that famous day in the Challenge cup.

It possibly wouldn't be as big an upset if you won on Sunday but it must prove to be a motivation for everyone at Salford. If that Salford side could beat Wigan that day then why not this Sunday? (afterall we've proved nothing yet with this side)

After beating 2 very good sides in Hull and Huddersfield over the past 2 weeks the confidence must be sky high and with it looking like we've lost Roberts and Leuluai for a few weeks it's a possibility.

Looking forward to it.

Yes, yes we do



Of course back then we had just returned from a week on holiday in the sun. This time we are returning from a bruising and brutal easter with 6 men crocked

Oh how exciting is this!

This is gonna be one of those games that I enjoy despite the result. A top quality team on show. A team of underdogs just ready to have a go at them. A huge Wigan following. A slightly increased turn-out from Salford due to, A, we're playing Wigan and B, we've won a couple. AND, the return of Sunday rugby at the Willows... Hell, the sun may even shine!

If we happn to turn you guys over on sunday the news headlines will be,
Depleted Wigan lose out to lowly Salford.

I hope not.

We're likely to be missing Amos Roberts, Leuluai, Riddell and Hansen only. It's hardly an injury crisis and I hope we don't go down the Leeds route of bleating about every single injury and wishing injury problems on other teams(Like McClennan did).

They included everyone bar the tea lady(sprained pouring wrist) on their injury list regardless of experience. When we played them they still had more internationals on the field then us.

It should be a good day Sunday. I'd probaby have Salford down as my second team as the Girlfriend and her family are from the area originally.

Tis gonna be a cracker. I'm actually looking forward to seeing this Wigan style of play. It sounds very similar to the style that Craig Bellamy has brought to the NRL.

I gotta say though, it baffles me that people get so upset over this style. As the rules stand, it's within them So why so many b!tch about it, rather than learning from it and further advancing it, I don't know.

This a pop at the press rather than Wigan, the headlines on reports of our recent victories have focused on our oppenents shortcomings rather than Salford`s efforts to win.

... and Coley, apparently? (according to Sporting Life).

Quite agree, also it bugs me when Hemmings keeps saying that it will drive supporters away. Why? Because teams aren't able to scoot from dummy-half every tackle & make 10+ easy yards? It beggars belief to me, not least because it's the style of play which is so prevalent when we face the Southern Hemisphere sides, surely if more Super League teams adopt this style it'll improve our international game.

Dare I say it, but it upsets people because its Wigan. It wasn't mentioned anywhere near as much when Huddersfield started it last season

Hemmings, as far as i can remember, has never had any idea about rugby. Talks total garbage week after week, about any team.
