I'll agree that Wigan Saints in the Cup is just too soon after GF(good friday

) and too soon before MM. Whether it will be a low attendance? Well that remains to be seen. This forum is just a snap shot of RLfans in general. Many fans do not post or read any message boards.

It could still be a good turn out!!

I'm all for compressing the CC competition. I'd also like a change to the format of MM, something more along the lines of a 7's tournement. Which would make excellent free to air viewing and get more people interested in the expanded game. Cricket had joy with this, using 20/20 to attract more and new fans. 7's would give a faster quicker game with more turn around and would mean crowds are more likely to stay in the venue and not just turn up for their team.

just looked on website for extra tickets together, is there anything wrong with the bottom left of the east stand (close to south stand) as there are over 120 seats in a block available....?????

you will be pleased to know its for saints fans!!! i had to give up my season ticket seat and move down there now im right next to saints fans again. I would of rather kept my seat and sat in the middle of them lol

cheers, might wait until tomorrow as there is bound to be a few thousand S/T holders who won't be purchasing their seats....

Over 9,000 sold -this is actually far better than I was expecting. If we can get 14k to 15k on the day with a weeks notice it would be a reasonable result.

Farcical scheduling though and not just in relation to the stadium issue. If the RFL scheduled the competition properly and this game was given a decent amount of time to build up to it, it could have been a terrific advert for the game on national TV with a full DW.

so the East Stand (from left to right, South to North) has Saints Fans to the left of the stand, then the usual Wigan Fans then more Saints fans to the right of the stand? i know the North is shut, seems a littel strange to split them up though?

When i ordered my tickets she asked if i minded being sat near saints fans and i said we are near the south stand? and she said they had been allocated the small block there so unless she was mistaken they have that block to

seems logical if they have sold all their allocation...next blocks in are full of ST holders, blocks in corner near north are usualy empty bar last minute pay on the gaters

Are the majority of seats unavailable on the website as ST holders seats haven't gone on General Sale yet?

Ive just been and got mine

9,001

I would reckon that at least 5500 season ticket seats will go on sale tomoz

Hardly seems fair though does it, I have had to give up my season ticket seat and end up sat near saints fans anyway would of rather had my own seat sat with them

Got mine

Could be quite interesting in the East on Saturday for a change, we might have to make some noise.

That would be nice. The east stand has been rubbish since the 2007 season. I even remember it being louder than the south at times.

Got MY ticket... next to me wife for a change

Just got 4 in the south stand loads of tickets left under 15s go free with a seasaon ticket.

Yeah, we've never quite been able to manage that before, usually I'm surrounded by other ST people, makes a nice change!

Now we just need you to join the ODD Grenland supporters, and we'll be all set



Can't wait for Sat now, though... last time I saw Wigan vs Saints, was in Warrington... where we beat the living daylights out of them



Oh... that reminds me... Wigan has won every game I've been able to come to... so mayhaps I'm their lucky token or something? That should give me a free season ticket that, me thinks *whistles innocently*

Shocking ticket sales in the south stand! Why do so many fans refuse to buy tickets for games like this?

A combination of factors, I'd say. Cost comes into it, plus it's live on the Beeb, plus it'll be a walkover for us, and people prefer a competitive game...?

Maybe they should have given Saints the South Stand tickets and had East and West for Wigan, as was suggested my mini rogue.

Maybe it due to certain fans buying the FREE generic tics tickets for the day after. These can be purchased in many pubs across town for as little as £2.50. I know I know what self respecting fan would do that? They are quite a few I know that are and have been doing all season. £2.50 one day £20+ the day before. What you say Matt??
