Would have been a cracking crowd had all the season ticket holders bought tickets.

Just take a look at last years Play Off game attadance for a wake up call RL fans dont have the same money Football fans have, it should have been £12 max what ever seat your in with the cheapest tickets at £19 something needs looking at ALL SL clubs regarding price to get in.Im lucky enough that i will attend what ever the price but the game is live on BBC and going to look bad on our sport with a half empty ground.

The South Stand was only available to season ticket holders until 9pm Wednesday morning when it went on general sale. No idea why. I had to give my Season Ticket code over the phone when I bought my ticket on tuesday afternoon and that was what I was told

Presumably because the South is 99.9% ST holders so if they start selling tickets willy nilly there could be ST holders who don't get a seat.

Willy nilly, great term, not used often enough these days IMO

Stereotypes like that are the reason sometimes the game is going nowhere!

Last season at Coventry City it was £25 for an adult to watch that dross and next year they have even announced that they are increasing the price of season tickets!

Rugby League is very good value for money when compared to other sports and its taken for granted the majority of the time. It's the playoff concept which is the problem, not the price of tickets.

I thought at Coventry City[i they paid the crowd [/ito watch !!!!

I wish sometimes they did!

watching coventry city is about on par to watching Gateshead RL.....that shows you the how far the standard of football on offer at the Ricoh has dropped....

I don't think the price is the issue. People just aren't willing to pay for a match that a) is on national tv and b) has already been played 6? times in the last 12 months or so. and will be playing again in a fortnight.

Can you get tickets tomorrow or pay on the gate? Suddenly come into some money and can go now, rubbish being a student haha!

I will never get bored of watching Wigan V saints no matter how many times we play them,people will always find an excuse not to go a game.I will be there tomorrow and at Ethaid in two weeks and at the play offs should we play them.

over 4000 tickets still available so pay on day should be no problem....best get to ground early incase you have to purchase ticket prior to entry

Whilst I agree that I don't tire of it. I don't get as excited about it as I do when we haven't played them in a while. Knockout rugby helps with the excitement though, and I could quite happily watch us beat them 10 times a season.

From what I was told tonight by a VERY reliable source.

12,248 or 12,428 tickets sold.
Saints have sold less than 2,000.

However to put a positive slant on it, that means that the attendance will probably beat the 12,893 at last years play off game at the DW.

That's very poor from both sides. The last time we met Saints in a QF (the infamous 75-0) it was a sell-out at KR... what's changed?

There's been a week to sell the tickets, we play each other 8 million times, there's a recession, the cup is losing its magic to some, all the crap with the stadium.

Very true.

The scheduling of the CC definitely needs to be looked at, it's an absolute joke. 3 rounds squashed into 5 weeks.



To be fair though, I think it's probably because of the Euros/Olympics and the RFL have naturally just bent over to the BBC not realising the impact it'd have.

Considering that last year we didn't play Round 5 until next week.

the semi final and final will be on the telly too...........by that logic the people who cba going tomorrow, and couldnt ba going to fev, presumably wont ba going to the semi and wembley should we get there?

thought not..............VOUCHERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe not the semi, but they'll all want final tickets.

Spot on. If we had 3 weeks to market this game, without the crap with the stadium and if it was the first time we had played each other for a good while.... it would probably be further towards 20k... especially with the North stand ipen.

My thoughts exactly. We are playing each other 3 times in 2 months. Some will already have forked out a fair portion of their wages for MM before this game was announced. In a way the one stand being closed is probably a saving grace as it will make the rest of the stands look fuller.

Then add to it all the other stuff recession etc, then you can see why. But even 14k would be no bad effort given the conditions. Take out people who have paid for MM, then you could add a couple of thousand more.

Did you enjoy sitting on the side today?
