I emailed the RFL asking if any of those posters were available - never even got a reply.

Unbelievable.



Who on here would pay £2-3 for a A3 version of that poster if available to purchase? I know I would.

Yep, and me.

Actually, was driving back Bristol the other day & saw one in a farmer's field by the side of the motorway. Not that you'd have had much chance of reading it at 70mph...

Absolutely - or a lot more for one signed by both teams.

Correct Geoff and EVEN more signed & framed.


Goldmine.

I'll speak to you at the flag meet

Is the poster available on the internet?

I had an idea that I could get some printed in colour on A3 paper and get them signed by both teams and framed to raise money for the Wigan Warriors Community Foundation.

What do people think?

Aahhheeeemmm!!



They can join the Queue!

Thats a great idea

If it's on the Internet the quality wouldn't be good enough for print at A3

Im pretty sure panic will soon kick in at the RFL due to the slow ticket sales. Im sure the South will sell out, East will very nearly sell out, West will have huge gaps in it due to the RFL 'family' not turning up, North will look embarassing.....

Well done RFL

We could always blame the Aussies. It is the away end after all

I bet the Aussies bring more than some SL clubs I could mention.

Quite possibly

Surely it's up to us to fill the ground, not think/worry about how many other clubs bring.

Can you get hold of these posters?

Got my tickets today in the post.







Tickets left according to our e-ticket system is North 2495, South 254, West 332, East 1082 left or 4163 left total.

Looks like all stands will sell-out but maybe North stand is looking dodgy. Not sure how RFL sales are going?

Just tallied it up on the website and it comes to 19885 (I think), which isn't bad just under 20K three weeks before the game. I think with some heavy marketing after the Millenium Magic we could come very close to a sell out. I still remain optimistic we can achieve a sell out at the DW stadium.

I was watching the 1994 WCC against Brisbane last night. What a herculean effort from our boys that was. A packed ANZ stadium, with Aussie fans booing our side out as they entered the field, Andy Gregory and John Monie had tipped against us to win. No-one really give us a hope in hells chance with Kelvin Skerrett and Andy Platt missing, as well as the inspirational Dean Bell. But led round the park by the fulcrum of that great side Shaun Edwards and an outstanding display from a very young Jason Robison we ground out a famous win. The determination, desire and passion from those players just fired me up for this one. Those Brisbane boys wanted it, but we were too determined, tackled harder and had a better kicking game. One of the finest moments in Wigan's history. The clip of our lads lining up to our national anthem to a deafening silence fills me up every time. At the end that proud moment of Shaun Edwards screaming "respect! respect!" whilst lifting the trophy. What a moment in Wigan's history. So pumped for this WCC game. The chance to hold the record of the most WCC wins and consolidate ourselves as the best Rugby League team in the world AGAIN - who would have thought of that in 2006? Hell who would have thought of that at the start of 2010? Absolutely fantastic. Should be a very special night at the DW - looking forward to it.

I don't think it's outrageous that we need to sell 5k 3 weeks before the event. Around 15k who went to the GF have not bought a ticket yet and people will only naturally buy tickets closer to the time. I expect it to sell out and I think it would be a massive disapointment if it doesn't. It will be one hell of an atsmosphere if it is full though! Can't wait!

Cadoo does the 19885 shown on the Wigan e-ticketing system take account of tickets allocated to the RFL but not sold? The RFL have recently released tickets back to Wigan which has caused our e-ticket site to show more tickets available. However, having said that I still think we should be able to sell out with 3 weeks left.

I heard an advert for WCC on Wish FM last night too so hopefully the marketing of ther game will start now that MM is upon us.

It will refer to the tickets the RFL have to sell, not what they've actually sold.

So the 19,885 would be the attendance if we sold no further tickets, and the RFL sold everything they've got.

I have some 17 x 12 ones which I shall be giving out at the flag meeting on Wednesday, so if you want one of these, get yourself down there, 8.00 pm, The Anvil, Wigan.

Ahheemm

I hope 1 of those is spoken for!

Oi, regulars first..!



Or should that be irregulars?
