The issue of wether it's a big game to other people is irrelevant. |

No, it's not, as Sky want to maximise their viewing figures, so they pick the biggest games (within reason and balance over the season).
Why should FC v KR be televised, I see no reason at all. |

Quote ="Standee"Nowhere near, not from my understanding anyway.'"
According to this council magazine. over 750,000 over 8 days so thats about 90k per night.
static.hullcc.gov.uk/hullinprint ... _brief.php
The clipper race is due to finish on the same day but the freedom festival isn't happening like last time.
Unless i've missed it there aren't any plans to close castle street so this in its self is an indication that the council don't expect as many people as last time. |

I don't claim to know the ins and outs of how sky decide their games but the derby must be a decent game viewing figures wise for them as they've shown the last 3 on the bounce |

As far as I know the plans for the finish haven't been confimred, predominantly because it's quite hard to predict when the race will actually finish, you may well be right that it wont be as many people as the start of the race. I can't see the club wanting to move it, probably haven't even discussed it with the Police. |

Yeah agree it's difficult to predict the end of the race and thats one of the reasons i'd be amazed if the police had decided the game couldn't be moved |

I ain't too surprised TBH, the Wigan - Wire game looks better for the nuetral and to me. Even though the derby games means more to me personally.

Considering we pay more for gate entrances, shirts and god knows what else then Rovers fans have to. I would suggest you are the poorer neighbours.  |

Any self respecting FC or Rovers fan who can get to the game should be there and not watching it on Sky.
I hope it's a belting game in more ways than one and befits a pre-watershed kick off time.
We should bring Whitfield out of retirement to ref it (guaranteed a bit of biff then)

Going back to the OP - the wigan wire crowd will not be far off a full house either. They'll get 20,000 plus for defo. Warrington are the new Rovers you know, they take about 2 million fans to every ground (except ours).
