Thanks for the help.

I guess what I was saying about it being a training match doesn't really apply to Hull KR tbf, our games with yourselves are usually good close games. The number of games this season where we have been off the boil yet still managed to stick 40/50 on teams is good for neither team really. Recent games against Wakefield, London, Castleford and Hull have all been boring in large parts but we've scored over 40 points in each game. I just hope the game on Sunday isn't the same.

Thanks again!

looks like being nice and dry

fast ground should suit us...

Wish I could share all the optimism.
What's happened between the Salford game and now? I've been away for a week but we've not played since the Reds game.
After that match someone said we'd 18 errors in the game, it was dreadful!

HKR have been losing but don't appear all that bad an outfit. We have been brilliant for a great deal of the season but we need to recapture the form prior to the Exiles match.

We usually play well at their place, whether we'll see enough to know afterwards remains to be seen.
Wigan by 8!

Im going on Sunday just wondered what is the distance from the try line to the back of the terrace behind the sticks.

Google Maps gives you a good idea - away terracing is at the bottom. My guess would be about 50m.

"The Well" is better bet - there will be a few of us in there.

Hope not its 50m as its getting like when you hear reports of the away section/end at Newcastle United Football Club which is something daft to the centre spot like a 1/4 a mile.

You get a better view of the City than you do the pitch. I thought for an hour that Michael Owen was upfront for Newcastle but turned out it was Michael Chopra.

There are 16 flights of stairs and then a steep climb to your seat from the concourse. Makes the top tier at Old Trafford look like the front row of The DW.

Wane said tonight on GMR that LuLu and Finch could start on Sunday.

Could.

1st away miss of the season, not paying £18 for that view, I thought the North Stand was supposed to have been redeveloped by now, shame really enjoyed the day there 2yrs ago and it was hot !

Forecast is good for Sunday, and in truth you are no further away than at Odsal or Wembley.

Why's the golf stand not been re-errected at the other end yet like they said it would while they were building the new stand! Joke! Can you upgrade your ticket to the sides once you get in! Otherwise may as well just get completely hammered cos not going to see anything!

The problem is the view is very different at Hull KR compared to those as it doesn't have the banking and you are low down so don't get a decent view. Not my problem thankfully as at a family do in the Midlands anyway.

Yes but no height on terracing = no view

IIRC from standing on there fiddling with an erection once, you get a good view upto the opposite 40m line and then you struggle.

Anyone who went to Bloomfield Road circa 2002 will know how far their away end was from the pitch and you could just about see the other end. I'm sure if you search "Mike Flynn v Blackpool" on YT you'll find a video showing it, otherwise on this picture the big pole thing is round about where the fribt row was.

If you buy tickets from HKR you can print them at home or pick them up so no hassles. Their fans said plenty of Wakey fans stood in the Well where I've booked tickets for and I'd expect a good few Wigan fans to do the same.

It sounds like it's worth the extra £4.

The South Stand was originally erected as part of the "multi-purpose" use of the stadium during the 90's. We had a dog track AND a speedway track running around the outside of the pitch, so that gives you an indication of how far away it is from the pitch. It isn't fit for purpose, but is a necessary evil for us at the moment unfortunately. Try and upgrade to the well if possible.

I would say pay the extra money for the Well. Lot better view and from the sounds of it hopefully will have quite a few away fans in there so will not feel alone.
Always look forward to seeing Wigan play. Great team to watch usually and fans always attend in there numbers

Get y'sen in The Well - we had a few Trinity fans with us a couple of weeks back and a good time was had by all...

Safe trip over to all those heading eastward...

Any seats available for old/lazy Wigan fans?

Quote ="jackdog"Any seats available for old/lazy Wigan fans?'" I don't think there are any seats as on the info it only says about the Well and East stand. Sorry www.hullkr.co.uk/on-the-pitch/ne ... chday-info PS Could be worth a phone call as could be a couple of restricted viewing seats left. Possibly still a better view than the south stand

Any idea whether it's possible to transfer to The Well for the extra few quid once you're on the ground, or are they totally seperate areas?

dont thinkk you would be allowed once inside the ground but the ticket office under the millward stand may be able to do that for you ....you could try ringing them on this number tomorrow and they may be able to help you +44 (0)844 2490 105 (1)

Looking at the scale on this map it's just short of 40m from the front row of the Zebrugge end to the dead ball line.

Be ok if they allowed you to stand around the curves but I doubt they will.
