That's because [iall[/i your mates are from St Helens.

Or play the game in 21st century surroundings that cater for the modern supporter?

Nah, it's because I got my ticket much, much cheaper.

They have called Wigan crowd as over 17,000 for a few years havnt they



I think we should take 5k and thats more than anyone else takes to away games.

Our support in the play-offs is always the best. We have taken 6k to Leeds a few times and 5k to Bradford when there was more away fans than home fans. We filled the away stand at Hull in 2007 which no one else does other then Hull KR, I am sure our great support will continue on saturday.

Over 1000 will go today as they go on general sale, it should be above 4000 come friday and loads have bought tickets from saints.

Well Bilko have we shifted the remainder on the first day of general sale?

We sold what they initially sent and have been sent "a load more". Over 3,200 is the total now from sales at Wigan.

I think there was a fire that caused £30k of improvements

We could be lucky to top 10/11k if sales are to be believed.

Disgraceful if true.

What's that based on?

Have any figures for Saints been knocking around?

Only from someone in work, who had been the Saints ticket office that day and said they had sold 6k, and that was yesterday.

That doesn't sound too bad tbh. That would be 9,200 with the Wigan sales, and that is a couple of days before kick off.

I would expect 14k.

You know what - although its embarrassing for them and probably the game if they can't sell out, I couldn't care less.

It would be a huge advantage for our boys if we can drown them out on Saturday. Don't forget many Wigan tickets have been bought from St Helens, my 4 included.

No, im not worried about their support, its embarrasing for the people you have outlined, but the Wigan army need to be involved from the second we are behind the sticks.

The town of Wigan want this more than St Helens, that much is evident.

I hope the pattern is the same in terms of the players.

I'm not bothered if they sell out, I just think 4,000 wiganers in attendance would be a great achievement considering tickets have been selling for just 5 days prior to kick off.

Tickets btw remain on sale at the wigan stadium ticket until 12noon on Saturday.

Should all turn up as soon as the gates open and stand on the halfway line. Imagine the scenes!

If 20 scouse chavs can sound like the old spoin kop at Liverpool imagine the din from a couple of thousand Wiganers. Im sure they amplify that scouse twang from under the tv gantry.

Just had to run over to the other side of campus to find a payphone as tickets hadn't arrived today (ordered Monday night) and the post doesn't deliver here on a Saturday

Turns out some dozy plastic scouser put my tickets down for collection, not delivery, so getting a refund on my postage at least.

I have never been to KR and actually been able to hear the home fans from the away stand, there only always seems to be a few people singing.

Cannot wait for the atmosphere tomorrow.

Over 3,500 tickets sold at Wigan with loads of people having bought from saints with a day to go, over 4,000 easy.

Hardly any sales at Wigan today.

The match is now not all ticket and anyone wishing to go can pay at the turnstile.

So whats the grand total pal?

I heard around 9,000 sold at saints and 3,500 sold from Wigan so far.

3,370ish

Pretty poor IMO considering how big the game is.

If we get through we'll sell that in 5 minutes solely to people who haven't been near a Wigan game this season.
