Check your fixture list and think about it again.

Oh yeah your Cup final win

Lol. No. That was just some jealous little Latics fans spreading rumours that they wish could come true but it never will.

Next?

No mate your getting confused. I think he was talking about the win that put us top of the table.

yes but its our little egg box

Your own Chief Executive would disagree with you on that one.

Getting to Wembley and winning the cup is worth more to the financial position of clubs than winning the GF and will therefore be at least an equivalent priority for those who run clubs and therefore their teams. Another who thinks otherwise is obviously trying to deflect their team's failure in the trophy over recent years.

Absoulutely disgusting by Leeds, actually cant believe it, they are having a pretty poor season in the league and this is probably there biggest game of the season so far, I just dont get it. There was only 9,000 on the other year when we beat them in the cup, if this was at the DW we'd get 17,000 minimum.

We wouldn't though - in fact nowhere near. You only have to look at play-offs crowds to see that a lot of people won't pay extra over their season ticket even when the season is on the line and it's the biggest game of the season. Some rugby league fans are simply muppets I'm afraid.

/agree with Andy.

Bollox.

Yes I understand what your saying, but I think because of our form and a genuine belief that we can win the challenge cup, I think a big home tie would draw a huge crowd. Anyway, we'll never find out, as the last time we had a big home draw in the cup it was about 1932

Surely Rogues was there though?

well i cant wait for saturday.

12 of us ready and waiting for 9am saturday morning

COME ON WIGAN !!!

Personally don't really care who's sold what n who owns their own ground etc etc.. It's getting a tad boring.. All that matters to me is that i'll be there on Saturday, come rain or shine, backing the boys 110%.. Come On Wigan !!!

Just wonderd why WIGAN havnt demanded more tickets as in RFL rules in the CC the away club can demand 30/33% of the capicity.

we've had a lack of 'demand' ourselves

there'll be no lack of demand though for wembley tickets !!

We don't need them.



Personally I don't think 2,500 is a "lack of demand" for any away game.

It is, in response to a call for more

2.5k is super for me.
Not for others maybe?

in no shape or form is winning a challenge cup a comfort if you lose the gf. Saints in 07/08 can tell you that. Maybe the money men would be happy but not the players nor the fans. If you are a club like wire or hull it's massive. The ccf is a great day out but it means nowt if you are title contenders and get beat gf night.

this is not trollin I swear, for Wigan to win either trophy would be massive for you lot as it's been so long and it's the start of something new.

I agree it would be nice for Leeds to win the cup. IMHO I think the players want it more than the fans. but as a fan I would alway want to be champions over cc winners.

totally right there bilko

It's not either/or - you can have both.

I've just explained on the Leeds board to those complaining about the cost of the game.

This is Wigans 5th consecutive away game, and we will have had only one home game in the last eight matches.

It's been an expensive couple of months for us who have been to all the games.

Stop letting the facts get in the way of a good Yorkie whinge Rogues

There often seems to be a lack of demand for games in which the capacity has previously been believed to be not big enough (2004 CC Semi against Wire).

I wonder if it has anything to do with people feeling let down that the crowd and atmosphere won't be as good or maybe they initially thought they would never get hold of tickets and subsequently made plans not to attend.

Just a couple of possibilities - in all fairness such a poor turnout is not exactly what you're used to from Leeds.
