Right, I was in the club shop earlier and cleared a few things up.

1. There are plenty of tickets left
2. Once the current batch has gone, the club will be getting more in
3. Juniors have to swap their vouchers for a match ticket
4. Saints are talking up the ticket sales to get people panic buying, and bump up the crowd

Wrong. If Warrington have plenty of tickets, good for them. The posting on the website about it being close was dated the 3rd March.

Do the maths, Saints got 10,000 against Wakefield who brought a few hundred. Bigger game, local derby, Wire fans expecting to win.

By all means I expect this to be a sell out, it's very unlikely (and I'll go by the words of the people selling tickets over yours thankyou very much) that it's going to sell out quite as quickly as that news story suggests.

17.5k is the capacity and i'm expecting a sell out and once again a Saints v Wire classic.

Got my 6 tickets last week

. The club have already exchanged 1900 adult season ticket vouchers and 500 kids vouchers.

Think the Wire faithful could bring up to anything up to 5k for this one.

What are they?

Is it? It was 15,100 in 2002 and I'm pretty sure it was further reduced as a compromise with health & safety inspectors more recently.

17,008 were there a couple of years ago

Knowsley road away end is a dangerous place with a few hundred in it. Took 10 mins to get from the middle to the toilets last season.

Yup. You are probably right. I was under the impression we still had a reduced capacity but it appears from popular opinion that we don't.

Probably more reliable than Wikipedia.

We don't have reduced capacity. It's 17,500.

It's now all ticket and that may be a PR stunt or it may be genuine this time, given that this is the last chance you guys have of beating us at KR in the Superleague era.

And don't believe it that we won't turn up because of our form. Quite the opposite. Our manful struggles against adversity, while playing better attacking rugby than last year, are getting many of our fans all excited. Since our match will not be on the TV this year, a very good turnout from Saints is anticipated.

We want to see if Kyle can follow in the master's footsteps and kill you off with a drop goal.

Me and Foz got our tickets last week. Very excited

Yawn..

'Manful struggles against adversity'?

Briers definatley back for saints game.

I got me ticket earlier 2day and my mate who works in the shop said they have sold just over 1000 tickets

Good, eh? I was aiming for irony but perhaps I missed!

The truth is that it will take a sharp upturn in form or a loss of belief from Warrington for Saints to win.

"The truth is" that you come out with out the same boring stuff each time in order to be able to emphasise what an "amazing victory" is is for the Legends™ each and every time.

bought my four today and was told they were down to their last couple of hundred, having already sold over 3000.

3K? Good stuff if accurate.
