Never understood this 3 hour queue business in this day and age, I will just book mine via the Wigan Eticket website, worked ok plenty of times, costs £2 to get them posted out but hey no queue no driving to Wigan.
Glad you are selling well, we all know you will outnumber us and so you should being at Doncaster on a Friday night, but I will be there and it's what happens on the pitch not the ticket office that counts as Cas found out.
Who will win, I don't know, depends what 17 we can put out by then and who performs on the night, I am sure it will be a cracker, lets hope the best team wins which is what happened in both our Q/F's.

Agreed, as the game is a month off yet there is plenty of time for form to change (both Hull & Wigan have good form at the moment) and injuries to come and go.

This got me thinking, when was the last time Wigan and Hull were pitched together in a semi final?
Struggling to think of a time!

Just a hunch but it might be because ours only go on sale in the morning



Tell him give it another whirl tomorrow (although he'll still probably get straight through).

Just booked into the Earl of Doncaster Hotel - the bright lights of Donny await...

I'm doing the same, I work in Donny but live in Hull I'll ask at work the best places to drink before and after the game and post it on here nearer the time.

That would be handy.

I work in Manchester and have booked a half day so I can get the train over early with a mate of mine and have a few pre match beers. It only takes an hour and fifteen minutes on the train and an advance single was £7.50 (getting a lift back) so it's a no brainer



I get the sense we may be slightly outnumbered in the pubs (and the ground).

3 years in Donny at college in the 70's great pubs will all be different now . Stayed in the Earl of Doncaster while we were there . 5 of us booked into Park Hotel at the Stadium . Train £150 return each so taking the car 460 mile round trip should be fun.

Tickets purchased half way line

Tickets went on line about 09.10 , booked them by 09.15 right behind the sticks, you are going to have some big queues if you get to the GF, if you are queuing today you will get wet presume, enjoy the game

Hull FC have Sold Out, waiting for the West stand tickets to be delivered now. Your right Rugby League need a strong team from Hull and to be honest if you had both of us up there would be record crowds

The last semi i can remember was a John Smiths semi at Headingley - not sure of the year, its a fair while ago! I'm sure you (wigan) beat us something like 2-0 !!!!

The way out attack and defence have been performing this year it might be a similar scoreline!!

I'll settle for that.

Me too.

There was a JPS semi final in the late 80s, we won by one point (seem to remember it was at Headingley, but I might be wrong).

Not sure how many errors its possible to get in a post, but if this is referring to the last time Wigan and Hull played in the Semi Final of a knock out competition was the John Player Trophy semi final of the 1986/7 season, which Wigan won 12-11. To be fair, it was played at headlingley.

well they did say remember and not fact

Hull to Huddersfield is 74 miles. Wigan to Huddersfield is 42 miles. This is the first time I have ever known us be closer to a semi final ground in my 40 years of following the club

Distance isn't the issue really, it's the fact that it's on a Friday night which will put many off.

It is what it is now though and hopefully we'll be able to muster a decent following because I'm pretty sure you guys will have at least 7,000 or 8,000 there.

Leeds then? See you've conveniently missed the point I was trying to make and also that I acknowledged that even mid point I would expect Hull to take more & fair play tou you guys for that.

PS
Hull - Leeds 60ish
Wigan - Leeds 57

Still would expect a larger Hull following but I bet it would have been a Bigger overall crowd?

Probably gone for Doncaster over Leeds or Huddersfield being a lot smaller, so will look better 75% full rather than Huddersfield half full. It's a nice neat little ground. I reckon there will be around 12000 there with 8000 from Hull. Can't understand why the games aren't Saturday and Sunday
