Bring it on!

Couple of questions:
1) Is it heading for a sell out?
2) How has confidence amongst you lot been affected by a handsome win last weekend and a loss for us - I see the bookies have you as marginal favourites which is interesting.

Should be a great atmosphere and a great game. As irritating as it is that both sides have players unavailable, we all realise that there have been any number of occasions where form/fitness has proved irrelevant in this game.

Looks like pay on the gate will not be an option if Saints can sell out their allocation for the North Stand........

East stand 92 available

West Stand 79 available

South Stand ...sold out

North Stand .. allocated to Saints

Official line is "a hand full remain on sale" there are only single seats left.

Confidence wise, I'm never confident!

I think we've already sold out the North

Correct, we sold out out last week. 4850 sold in the North Stand. There'll be some fans snapping up tickets in end blocks of West/West I imagine too.

Glad to see you back!
You and Mugwump were on here 20 times a day first 6 weeks of the season and then nothing since last Friday.
I was worried you may have contracted GSD or something else and couldn't get over to here!

Why are people so obsessed with me on here? It's very sad.

As I've explained before when disproving these myths about me "going missing" after Saints defeats, I post on here as and when I see fit, regardless of our last result. I got accused of not posting for weeks after the Souths game then proved that I posted for 3 consecutive days after it.

How's about we just stick to the topic at hand instead of these constant, pathetic attempts at trying to lure me into an argument? Grow up.

oooooooohhhhhhh! Touchy!
Even the Wink didn't help? Not even the subtle GSD Joke? (I'll leave that one in the Air so I don't upset you further).

So I'll stick to the Topic of the thread then.

Answer = Yes, Nearly there

Haha sorry mate, you probably got the brunt of my frustrations at other people. I'm just bored of having to explain myself and justify things on here. I'd like to be able to post without an steward's enquiry every time.

SOLD OUT signs are now up!

Should make for a great atmosphere

without any doubt the biggest derby game in the league now the airport derby is no more, and the Hull Derby is a shootout for 8th vs 9th

Well that's the first of ten sell outs planned for this season. Will Blake get his other 9!

Second isn't it? HKR v Leeds sold out on the opening day iirc.

Doubt we'll go much past those two though with the amount if top games on a Thursday.

I thought they got close but no cigar? Got 11,800+, but capacity is 12,255. Depends if you think 400 is worth quibbling over. I'd imagine Hull KR will get a sell out against Hull FC later in the year and Cas might sell out this weekend too.

But it's still going to leave that target a few short if you include the Hull KR v Leeds match.

Not sure tbh.

Your place would sell out against us but with it being a Thursday game it's unlikely.

Suppose they'll pin their hopes on a few during the super 8's.

It's Friday 12th June we play you next isn't it?

Is it? Not sure, thought it was a Thursday. Probably confused with the Wire games.

Might sell out if it is then.

Yeah Friday. I only know as I turn 30 that weekend so I've planned around the match! Hope I'm right anyway.

We've got Warrington away and Leeds at home on consecutive Thursdays in July which could hurt the attendances. Saints at home is a Friday night. Be interesting to see if we do another Big One at some point this season, as that could get us another 20k+ near sell out. They might wait for the Super8's stage to do that though.

What, that you're 30?

Haha. Very good!

It's no wonder he's so bitter.

By the time he got to secondary school Wigan had done the eight in a row, won eight championships, three World Club Challenges etc. etc.

That must have been mental torture, poor lad, especially if had any Wigan supporting mates. Scarred for life

Haha. Evening Brian.

You're right, my primary school days were difficult in terms of rugby. A teacher at Nicol Mere called Mr.Coates used to give me and my brothers absolute hell.

At least at high school I got to see a level playing field introduced and us subsequently become the most successful club of the modern era.

Enjoy the game tomorrow mate.
