Should be a good game. Looks like you men are looking in good shape. I’ve been critical in the past but looking at that new stand and the squad it looks like the clubs finally delivering for the fans. Hopefully you’ll be back up soon causing us problem like you always do. Best of luck on the season

Only singles left everywhere now (even in the North Stand).

The new owner has been a revaluation for us, he has the financial clout which sadly our previous owner didn’t have and an astute business brain to take the club hopefully to where every Wakefield fan could only dream of 12 month ago.

Fantastic effort with still 6 weeks to go, just shows how much all the community work the club has done is paying off.
20k for Wire/Saints and a couple of 15k should be the aim for this season.

Fox League headline below - more evidence that both the media and Penrith are putting the game under the spotlight. Its great in one sense as it's how it should be - it should be hyped up and sold as one of the most important fixtures. But if truth be told I fear for us a little bit - we'll have to raise the intensity a few levels. Definitely wish Morgan Smithies was on our teamsheet for it.

'Luai underwent shoulder surgery after the grand final, but teammates believe he is "giving himself every chance" to face Wigan on Feb 24'.

If you go to purchase WCC tickets through our site it now gives you the option of purchasing Latics v Reading tickets as well. Cool. https://www.eticketing.co.uk/po2/ EDIT - Just seen the announcement that Ticketmaster have become official partners to both clubs.

Not overly impressed with this, Suppose the big question is will the club still be selling match day tickets from the ticket office as well ? This could put a lot of casual supporters off, seems a backwards step to me after all the good community work the club's been doing.

One and a half of the end blocks of the North Stand have now been put on sale. Presumably the other half a block is where some of these broken seats have been moved to.

One solitary seat left in the West Stand. Lol.

ES1 is where the majority of the Broken ones have been congregated so don't expect that Block to go on Sale

Any idea why ES10, WS1 and WS10 haven't been on sale? Do you think they will do at some point?

I genuinely don't know the full detail but got told about the seats thing 4/6 weeks ago
When I was chatting the other day though to the person who told me originally he confirmed ES1 is where "The majority" are and when I said it'll be good to get 22,500, 23000 he said it'll go up towards 24k

So I just took it from that, that a couple of the blocks in WS 1 and WS10 and the 2 North blocks (that were blocked out last week) would be opened up soon.
Obviously NK posted that The 2 x North sre now open, so guessing this may happen with the others as well (apart from ES1 unless they are working on that).

Bottom 1/3rd of SS1 didn't go on sale and was covered by advertising for Latics v Utd, maybe they've put some of the busted seats there ?
Hopefully the NS will get pretty close to sell out in the next few days and then they'll open the end WS blocks, going to be a fantastic occasion,
Beginning to wish I'd got tickets for either E/W stand now though, got a horrible feeling the SS will have a bunch in who have no intention of sitting in their allotted seat going off social media posts.

They need to bang the drum on the reserved seating thing in the build up. If the Stewards are the same as for the Man Utd match last week, they won't have any input in to any issues. It was chaotic in the North Stand, with people sitting where they wanted, load standing up through choice, blocking people views and then loads having to stand near the exits as people were sat in their seats. The Stewards all looked new and they didn't do a thing all night to ease the situation. It should be easier against Penrith as they won't have 7,000 away fans to deal with I suppose.

I'm in the South Stand and as somebody who usually gets in the ground 10 mins before kick off, I'll make sure I'm in at least 30-45 mins before going off that experience last week.

Getting to our seats an hour prior to kickoff.

1). To ensure no issues with our South Stand seats.
2). Hopefully there's a great prematch build up.

Anyone? I bought a ticket through Ticketmaster, not the club. I tried manfully to get some response over the weekend from their website, and eventually managed to leave a message, which they 'hope to respond to within 24-48 hours'. That was on Saturday. Heard nothing back (yet). I managed to track down a payment on my bank statement which I reckon is it (and which of course I told Ticketmaster about), but am starting to get a bit worried now.

My receipt said tickets would be sent out a couple of weeks before the event

Don't believe anyone has received their tickets yet but you should've got a confirmation of purchase email, might be worth checking your spam folder

You should have had a confirmation email but tickets are sent out closer to the game.

Through 23k now

Some Leigh fan on Total RL says he can’t believe sales have so slow and that it hasn’t sold out yet



Doubt a WCC has shifted as many tickets, as quickly as this in it’s history (although clearly a few have had higher crowds).

Thanks guys, that's helpful. Certainly had no confirmation email this year, but I have been getting their periodic emails advertising other events, so clearly I'm on their system. Checked my 'Deleted Files' folder too.

I think we've shifted 3,000 tickets since it was announced it was to be screened live on BBC last week. That's some going as it could have stalled sales dead. But it ain't.

This is going to be some occasion,win or lose.
It's like wishing your day's away until kick off.

Just read that Luai is "an outside chance to be fit for the World Club Challenge, [ibut club medical staff are expected to hold him back a few extra weeks in time for the season proper[/i."

Not risking players to make sure they are ready for NRL round 1. Interesting. . . . hope they're not treating it as a pre-season game eh?

Anyway, on a serious note, can't wait for this. Have my accomodation booked, will be a fabulous occassion.
