Wire have had a bit of a rush on by the sounds of it and have now got to a pretty decent figure, albeit not quite selling out the North (yet).

You're only coming to see the champions



I have never pretended it isn't a big game, only joked aboout it. It is a local derby which has come into it's own over the last few years and it will only get bigger, it is very healthy for both clubs. Lets be honest the game later in the year at the HJ is sure to sell-out, I personally will be rushing to get tickets so I don't miss out.

As it stands though there is over 16k home fans bought tickets. This happens for quite a few games. Don't go thinking you are all special all of a sudden





I can't wait for this though, no matter how important a game against Quins, Wakey or Catalans might be at home, I just can't get up for them as much. The great away support from wire makes for a big game which we don't see every week.

So have we gone from 3800 yesterday to 5million today?

It's mainly the away support that's boosting the total (and well done to your lot for that!). We had about 14k home fans for the Hull game, there will only be about 2 or 3k more for tonight, with a guesstimate of 6k Wire fans in the North & East combined.

Only about 4 million with it being on telly.

Got a spare ticket for the south going for a fiver, pm if interested

Now 21645 however this doesn't include the several hundred seats in the West Stand executive seats. So not far off 22k now.

Ahhh but E-ticketing does not take into account the unreserved seating in the South stand. Maybe not quite accurate



Either way I am happy now that it is over 20k, we are the only club that can draw these figures for more than just one game. Fairplay Leeds, Hull and Bradford have all done it but this is already our second this season and we will get more than 20k against saints, also for the 'big one' probably against Leeds, and then if we improve the attendance for the quins game maybe we could have a 5th 20k + attendance.

Main thing for me is we didn't win any of those games last season infront of big crowds.... we need to win to keep the part time fans in. I have no doubt this game would have sold out had we also won the WCC.

Why would you guess at about 6k Wire fans? At this moment they havent sold out the North approx 4300 and they have probably been given the first section in the East approx 500, they probably havent sold many of them at all. They wont have 5k, but thats still a fantastic effort, well done Wire

There's a very big bandwagon at Wire. A lot of the lads I know hardly ever go a home game but go Wigan away every year for the p!ss up.

Should be a cracking game and atmosphere!

Prior to the HJ they were getting gates around the 5k mark.

That section has just reappeared on the eticketing site, so your right pal!!

Hardly surprising really, the place was a hole and wasn't exactly in a fit state to attract new speccies.

theres a lad desperate for 1 on the wiganwarriorsfans website

I'm sorry, but I do have the impression that you are sitting in the corner of your bedroom getting more and more sexually aroused as you continually contribute to this thread and the number of tickets sold get higher and higher. If it is a sellout I fear for the state of your trousers by 8.00pm.

hahaha

Not bad from a wire

I take it they enjoy rioting as well?

1946 left now

From the spaces I saw on Sky, I presume Odemwingie's trousers were saved embarrassment.

21,056

Compare that to the 6,972 who saw the Sale v Leeds match, and the 'entertainment' on offer.
