Haha sorry mate, you probably got the brunt of my frustrations at other people. I'm just bored of having to explain myself and justify things on here. I'd like to be able to post without an steward's enquiry every time.

SOLD OUT signs are now up!

Should make for a great atmosphere

without any doubt the biggest derby game in the league now the airport derby is no more, and the Hull Derby is a shootout for 8th vs 9th

Well that's the first of ten sell outs planned for this season. Will Blake get his other 9!

Second isn't it? HKR v Leeds sold out on the opening day iirc.

Doubt we'll go much past those two though with the amount if top games on a Thursday.

I thought they got close but no cigar? Got 11,800+, but capacity is 12,255. Depends if you think 400 is worth quibbling over. I'd imagine Hull KR will get a sell out against Hull FC later in the year and Cas might sell out this weekend too.

But it's still going to leave that target a few short if you include the Hull KR v Leeds match.

Not sure tbh.

Your place would sell out against us but with it being a Thursday game it's unlikely.

Suppose they'll pin their hopes on a few during the super 8's.

It's Friday 12th June we play you next isn't it?

Is it? Not sure, thought it was a Thursday. Probably confused with the Wire games.

Might sell out if it is then.

Yeah Friday. I only know as I turn 30 that weekend so I've planned around the match! Hope I'm right anyway.

We've got Warrington away and Leeds at home on consecutive Thursdays in July which could hurt the attendances. Saints at home is a Friday night. Be interesting to see if we do another Big One at some point this season, as that could get us another 20k+ near sell out. They might wait for the Super8's stage to do that though.

What, that you're 30?

Haha. Very good!

It's no wonder he's so bitter.

By the time he got to secondary school Wigan had done the eight in a row, won eight championships, three World Club Challenges etc. etc.

That must have been mental torture, poor lad, especially if had any Wigan supporting mates. Scarred for life

Haha. Evening Brian.

You're right, my primary school days were difficult in terms of rugby. A teacher at Nicol Mere called Mr.Coates used to give me and my brothers absolute hell.

At least at high school I got to see a level playing field introduced and us subsequently become the most successful club of the modern era.

Enjoy the game tomorrow mate.

Stop picking on these young uns Rogue they have a lot to learn, I remember (just) when I was 30, we still had half crowns and the old three penny bits and I think a pint was about 2 bob.

Cheers for that , let's hope we are not talking about him but the rugby played tomorrow

Amen to that.

Amen it is ! Well done ref and both sets of players, intense yes , dirty no , hopefully the penny has dropped you can't win games giving silly penalties away , long may it continue.
Great atmosphere with a full house , pity the Wire game is on a Thursday.
