think richards will be on mcgillvarys side.... he pretty good under the high balls but anyone would struggle against richards 6ft 4

Leaps like a salmon too does Richards.What's the best way of countering it though? let him have the bomb,then tackle him,at the same time others stay strong on their support players up for the possible tap back.

Looking forward to the battle of the forwards, starved Graham and co last week looking forward to the crunch this week and of course, the return of Hock. Hope to see lots of you across here.

Anyone will struggle under a bomb when the wingers running at you period, irrelevant who it is.

One man running, one man stood still, i know who'd id back yet it seems only "our" wingers are suspect under bombs.

Let them whine in peace! Haha!

more so when its pat richards.....

does anyone know how many tickets we have sold so far ?

Well I do know we've sold the most ever tickets at the club for an away league match but not sure exactly how many, i didn't ask that question.

well that sounds good just hope we can have one massive turn out and hopefully win the match so they may attend away games more often haha

Our club said that all of the discounted tickets have been sold in each stand. This was quite a few days ago.

This means you had sold 1,500...

I would expect around 2k+

With it being a saturday you would hope a few more might decide to come on the day.

must say im glad we are taking over a decent support considering recent visits to wigan

i know a few regular fans cant come as its on sats but overall sats is a better day than friday. if only they could do it on sundays we would probs bring more fans regular.

but really cant wait for this game atmosphere is gonna be amazing and hopefully a good exciting game with it,with a giants win of course

Gah. It's games like this almost make me miss the weekly thrashings. At least then I knew the result...I suspect we are gonna loser this one, but we have a good chance of winning. Unbearable...

Well not only will it be on of the giants biggest followings to a normal league game...

It will be the biggest crowd the giants have played infront of in a home or away fixture in super league. The only bigger ones have been at the magic weekend.

Let's hope we can come away with a giants win then

yh think highest is againts leeds just above 16,000 i think aye will be a good game with a massive crowd.

feels wierd being involved in such a big game in the league haha after watching us get battered every week for so long

looks like a good turnout from the giants fans

we took a good few last season too, around 500

we broke our pre purchased tickets for crusaders game away this season, think that was about 1500

Our biggest home attendance is ~15k for a Leeds game a few seasons ago. Then ~12k, Bradford, first SL game. THen a few 10k+ games. Away crowds I don't know but this will be the biggest, for sure.

wembley......

He said for a league game...reading posts is a good tactic imo...

wasn't there 567,234 when we played hull KR in their first season in super league?

According to the giants website we have sold our first allocation of 700. So not quite 1500 then

That would put us well down on the Crusaders game.

That is not correct.

All the discounter tickets have been sold. There are 1,500 of them.

I think this means 1,500 + 700 + anything else.

All the discounted tickets have been sent to giants from Wigan- it doesnt mean we've sold them ..
