3D? I'm fascinated by the prospect of watching RL in 3D on TV but I'm not going to take that option over £10 to be at the match or even full price for that matter. Less than a fiver and only ten minutes on the train from Warrington and the prospect of another match like the one at the HJ and on a Friday night this must surely top the attendance from Sunday night.

5000 with over 3 weeks to go and before the advertising campaign is very good. Some Superleague clubs cant even get that for their total attendance...

we are wire super wire from the hj nanananaa

Their away support is usually first class, and with how important this game will be I'd be amazed if they didn't sell out.

I'm sure they packed their end for the last few years with the exception of last year's dead rubber after the SF.

Advert is good - [url=http://www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=4939&type=news=#FF0000www.wiganwarriors.com/WContent.aspx?id=4939&type=news[/url - but think it should have emphasised Friday Night more in it rather than just a date.

Advert on national TV - great stuff from Wigan and great news for RL (even if the advert is a little naff)

No. It's only being broadcast in the local Granada (North West) area.

Right sorry I meant to say terrestrial TV.

Glad they put it on the website otherwise I'd have never seen it.

It'd be interesting if we could find out just how much of an effect the TV ad has on the attendance. Will that many people who don't usually attend Rugby matches be tempted just because of a TV ad.

Aww they didnt put the last bit in, I was looking forward to seeing how cheesy that looked...

The group shot?

I wonder if we'll see more of that come out on the website itself?

And why have "the other player" there for the shoot, if he's not even going to feature?

Normally the cost of adverts (especially on primetime ITV in between Corrie in particluar) cost many tens of thousands of pounds per showing.
As this just relates to one particular match, I can't see us having spent a fortune on it. How have we managed then to gain ITV airtime for free/mega knock down price?

My sister got a call from Michael Maguire about this game - she's already got her tickets but it's a good marketing job from the club. I know it's a pre-recorded message but it's a good idea and might just bring a few more in

Yea I was wondering that, why would they use him for the shoot and then cut him out. I know the group shot would have looked cheesy but I still would like to see it.

Just a group shot of us all

That wasn't for the ad. That was for the website's "making of the ad documentary".

You really should pay attention.

I thought that was part of the ad



Well I still want to see it though, and would still like to know why the 'other player' had his part cut...

He was cut because not only is he not as good a halfback as Sam but his acting isn't up to Sam's level either.

Cant argue with that

Two seats cockle!!

Oooo I'm all excited! I can't wait to see it on telly!

I've heard a rumour that Sam is up for a BAFTA. Keep that to yourself though.

Nice to see the club being innovative in advertising like this.

Fantastic.
