I wouldn't say nibbling, more like pointing at the hook and laughing.

Used to be the same for Lancs sides playing in Yerksheer. It's the politicos who have undermined the feeling of being a Lancastrian, well that and apathy.
Shame really.

I agree, back in the day if it was a Lancashire v Yorkshire final would always support the Lancashire team rather than the underdog, or your enemies enemy, apart from Widnes of course I wanted them beaten no matter who they were playing

| Quote ="ciaran95"They've asked for an allocation in the east stand as well apparently.'"
What's actually happened is the same as any "big game." Wigan sends an allocation of say 2000 tickets to Wanky, after a day or two someone asks the lovely old dear on the ticket desk how many are left and she replies "not many," when in actuality Wanky have requested a further 1000 from Wigan. This rumour hits the forums and social media and suddenly Wanky are asking for an allocataion in the east stand ( this would require 4500 tickets minimum to have been sold). Sales continue at a slower pace than the initial rush and in the end 3000 Wanky fans make the journey over.

Well it doesn't get any bigger than this.
Wigan are like the Brazil of rugby league and this is like going to a World Cup semi final and having to play Brazil in their back yard.
It is a daunting ask for anyone.

So between the lines, you think Warrington are like Germany? That's not going to happen is it?

Yesterday it looked like we'd sold 7/8000 tickets, today it's dropped to about 4000, biggest game of the season and nobody gives a damn, very disappointing

Don't worry, if we win the other 20,000 + will make a reappearance.

| Don't forget - there is more than one way of supporting the team. You can sit at home watching TV in your replica shirt, drinking from your double winners mug. And that's just as important, and valid. You don't have to go to the match to be a fan you know

Watching TV, drinking from a mug, and wearing the replica shirt all put money into the club to pay wages....

I've come to the conclusion that RL fans are the moaningest fans in the world! (I know that's not a real word - but it suits). We get to watch the worlds greatest game for a fraction of what football fans have to pay.
Reminds me of the bloke whose wife took him to Las Vegas for their anniversary. He gambled all night and won on the roulette wheel, then they went to a show and saw Shirley Bassey followed by Bob Hope and then Frank Sinatra topped the bill. When he got home his mate asked him what it was like to which he replied "I suppose it is alright for them as likes fun"

In fact, you could argue that watching it on TV helps to ensure that the Sky monies keep rolling in.. So, maybe we would be better all getting Sky Sport and staying home to watch.
I will be there btw....

I never doubted you!
I think Sky would lose interest if there are many more like last night's game or the one at Huddersfield last week. The one at Leeds looked shocking with the terrace absolutely empty. (By the way every time I stand on that terrace there are loads of Leeds fans mixing it with the 'I always stand here' routine. Where did they get to?). Let's hope next season the crowds start to come back. Whilst I agree with most people that the standard has dropped - it's still great value for money.
You can tell that Eddie and Stevo and the rest are [idesperate[/i for a close game tonight watched by a large crowd. I think they may be disappointed - possibly on both counts.

There's always an excuse with you stay away 'fans'.
I'll be there but it's only my third game this season. I'm not sure if that means I'm better or worse than a season ticket holder who's chosen not to attend.
It does look like the Wigan end is going to be quiet though.
