Anything below 20k is disapointing. You should sell 11k easy because thats how many you can get at home occasionally against saints so no doubt they will all go. The next 9k will sell slow but I am sure you will sell them.

The only thing we have to take into account is that we are in the middle of a recession and not everyone who would like to go will be able to.

Sure all the die hards will move heaven and earth to get there however some of the casual fans that would like to may not be able to in the current climate

I'll be making the effort, I'll be there [size=75(along with Ste & Billy).[/size

Yep, that is a factor, but I would expect more people to go for the day trips than would normally stay over, as opposed to missing out altogether.

The previous recession in the UK began in 1990. My ticket for the 1990 final cost £24, IIRC. I reckon this would be equivalent to well over £40 today. The ticket prices this year, are to my mind, incredibly fair. Transport, beer and accommodation may be another matter, though...

From a fan of a team which had to battle it's heart out to sell 5000 tickets for a semi final?

Oh dear not this again.

When your averaging as many as we do for home games and you can have the worst season for 20 years to see your crowds go up, come back and then we can have the debate.

29,999 mucka, i know of one warrington resident that wont be going..

We've got to be taking between 20-30k, and I will think that thats decent.

I'd hate to go and see many empty seats.

Come on people! 19 years since the last one! lets get the whole town there if we have to!

See how many come out of the woodwork to. The ones who were there at the back end of last season and the begining of this one?

they can come out of the woodwork for me,i hope that getting to this final and seeing what tony smith has done in the short time he's been here will bring back the stayaway fans of the last couple of seasons,this could just be the catalyst we have needed.
we should take 25k minimum.

My money is on 30k.

We took 20k last time and we have twice the average attendance these days. Plus for many fans it's the first time we've been in a final.

Change my mind 40k

I think its great that the final is being contested between 2 different teams rather than the usual suspects of previous years.

Do you think that there will not be as many other teams supporters going this year as I can easily see Warrington getting near the 30k mark.

Some of them (saints,wigan etc) might not bother if we are there in such large numbers and will just watch it on the TV. Or more than likely still go and back Hudds.

As with every year there will be a large number of fans of other teams.

Behave, we had all this before the fookin semi, if Warrington people don't come out it would be embarassing with only 11k there

i think 30k easily.

Now the wire

Our ground capacity is 13,024 and our current season average is 10,532.

Your ground capacity is 25,032 and your current season average is 14,947.

Working that out, our average attendence is 80.86% of our ground capacity.

Your average attendence is 59.71% of your ground capacity.

So technically, Warrington are averaging more for home games than Wigan are by 21.15%.

Nice try though.

get you Vorderman

judging by the ammount of calls i've had today every man and his dog,gran,cousin and budgies uncle

they will come out of the woodwork now we're in a final

We've sold over 9000 to season ticket holders on the first day. Add to that those that took the easy route via the RFL & there's 10K plus already.

That's with another day of selling to season ticket holders & joe public to snap the rest up this week.

20,000 should be the mark.

Does anyone know how many we get? I heard it was 14k

Anyone that wants to go should be able to get tickets. No pun intended but at work in Wigan, there are loads of people who have tickets but don't want to go now and are willing to sell quite cheaply.
