If anything, a smaller venue and all the sell out hype can mislead people and put them off buying a ticket. IIRC, the 2004 semi didn't sell out; I and other ST holders I knew didn't get a ticket, assuming they were all sold out.

Im in that boat. Didn't get a ST because Im only able to attend 75%ish of home games.
Im away between the 9th and 15th, stupid idea imo.
Should have either picked a bigger venue (yes i know they were proved right 5 years ago) or gave more time to plan and sold them in July.

Remember when you's and Wigan played there last time, there were still seats empty

Dere was do, want dey, la?

There was uproar when the Hull v wakey semi was announced at the keepmoat last season and it didn't sell out. Doubt either of these will. It's much better to have a (nearly) full smaller stadium than a 2/3 rd's empty larger one. i doubt anyone who really wants a ticket will miss out

Ay calm down, calm down

I don't care what anyone says. 5,400 tickets, is disgusting.

The problem is there are no Maurice Lindsays about in RL HQ anymore. People with drive and ambition for the game.

The Rugby League World Club Challenge, take the International games to Wembley and Old Trafford. All Maurices ideas, and sell them.

But now we have Nigel Wood, who took his own club Halifax into administration.

No it isn't calm down. What's the point of having 12,000 in a 25,000 seater stadium.

Why don't ya's shut up whinging and look forward to it, the pies have accepted it

It is. And I calm.

If it doesn't sell out, then fair enough. But I believe there will be at least a couple of thousand fans, per team, that will be disappointed.

Lets play the Final at the Reebok shall we.

??? I'm pretty sure the attendance will be higher than that now for a wire v wigan semi final! I agree its a disgrace.

What the bleedin hell do you know bout full stadiums...?????

Lefty will point out that the same fixture in 2004, didn't sell out.

This time round, I reckon we could have aimed for nearer 20,000. But 13,500? Its a joke.

It's like some one has said it's better to be playing in front of a packed house with a cracking atmosphere, then a football ground which is half full.

By the way love your pic davewires

What you moaning for bet you still get a ticket

The one thing that is a cert is a full stadium.

Looks good for the cameras

one hell of an atmosphere

Already sorted.


Got a good boss taken one of the private boxes..

i just think this fixture would of attracted over 20,000 fans at the right stadia!!.

The attendance would have never got over 15,000 of that there is no doubt. If that was the case then I'd rather have it in a full stadium.

We only have 5000 season tciket holders FFS!

The last one was 11,175. Stick an extra couple of thousand on that and bingo.

Spot on. I suspect that's why Wigan & Warrington have agreed to the venue

Is that right? never saw the amount we sold this season.

Are tickets unreserved seating?

No reserved.

Ta

No i didnt either,sure some people just pluck a figure out of the air,
How many season ticket holders at wigan dam sure its a lot more than 5,000..
Lets say 9,000 +5,000 wire =14,000
Lets not forget coporate and hospitalitty +a few scallies from widnes+people from wire and wigan comin out of the woodwork for a big game semi final!!!!!!All of a sudden you have got 16,000 plus people,
simple really in it..
