Think of me, I was made to miss the 2002 Murrayfield Challenge Cup Final win against Stains for the same reasons - the only final I've ever missed.

Is it that bad at home?

There will me more fans at this game because this is a knock out game that actually means something. There should be 15k there. How there was only 12.5k there on sunday is unbelievable, there should have been at least 14k wigan fans alone.

2800 tickets sold on our end. £8, bloody bargain!

2 From the Capital City

Thats superb if true!
I love the Away support KR have makes for a better day when theres that many of you there.

As for the attendances issue. The reason a lot won't be coming will, I imagine, be the same as why I nearly didnt.

I have little money and was going to save it as I won't be able to go next week if we win now unless we get Saints. I also didn't want to because I may struggle with the (now rather unlikely) Grand Final if we got there but I decided it was the last time I can see Wigan at the DW until next year so I decided I would rather be there. Maybe a few more of our fans will agree with me. The major problem is that the amount for 1 ticket is 10% of the season ticket so it does seem rather expensive to a lot of fans. My brother (who sadly cant make it this week) has one of those £26 south stand tickets so if he came tomorrow he would have paid almost his whole season ticket again!

Looking at the e-ticketing I reckon weve sold around 8-8.5k so far. Could be a shocker!!

I suggest he has had it cheap as chips for this season,

Think a load will pay on the day, I certainly am.

Can't be ar$ed taking anytime off work to get to the ground and get a ticket, not when I can just walk up at 7pm and buy one.

pay on the gate even

Oh I agree just a point that 2 games effectively doubles his season ticket price its a little odd why there's such a concession on the season tickets but not on the Play offs.


On another note did anyone see/hear (phonecall) Nigel Wood avoiding adding the first playoff game to season tickets because they already get challenge cup and "every team is in the challenge cup at some stage"



I have no issue in paying it (apart from not being able to afford next week haha) but I think it would be reasonable to offer it because as so many have pointed out "the season starts with the play-offs."

I dont know where the stay away fans are but we had a 50% chance that we would play again this week, we was playing the champs of SL so there was a chance we would loose.

The e-ticketing has been playing the last couple of days (well it has for me anyway). Ended up having to buy my ticketover the phone in the end. Maybe that explains the low-ish sales. There'll be a pretty big walk-up though with it being a Friday

It's going to be a shocking sight in the Wigan ends tonight!!!

You can't be [ithat[/i hideous looking really. Can you?

It isn't a particularly high percentage of tickets that tend to be bought online (though it has increased significantly in recent months) so I shouldn't imagine it'd make any difference to the crowd.

HKR had sold 2,100 as of yesterday.

Crowds have always seemed poor in the play-offs

add them to the price of a season ticket and things would change IMO.

Hull KR have sold just over 2,200 and have now stopped selling tickets. Would expect another couple of hundred to pay on the night for the North.

So it's looking like our lowest crowd of the season for the biggest game of the season.

I think there will be a big walkup tonight. First game that i have had no interest in pre booking a ticket.

According to the website you can pay on the turnstiles tonight. Wish I'd known that yesterday. Would have saved me a £2 booking fee!

I reckon 12,500

The thing that stops people going is the extra outlay , the play offs should be included in the season ticket price (especially the kids ones), my son has been to most games this year on his season ticket ,but will be watching on TV tonight due to the extra cost

If it was included on the season ticket price and we didn't make the playoffs, people would moan like hell! It's the price of success. Maybe kids ticket prices for playoff games should be looked at though.
