A long way to travel from Venice!

I spoke to the lady in the Ridings Club shop she said we were onto coach no 15, I'd say that's pretty impressive so far with others making their own way there and a week to go to sell a few more.

It's good to see 15 coaches going, but it is small potatoes compared to what should be going to Wembley if we win. I do worry that our side of Wembley would look very bare.

I'm not too sure about that Poptart, I have 8 family members and 3 couples who have no interest in rugby all saying they'll go to Wembley if we get there.

Nothing new there Pop Tart, last several times I have been to Wembley its only been three quarters full at best. Whole of club Wembley ring is always empty, that is 19000 seats, yet they count on the crowd figure. The reality is that normally there is about 60000 in attendance.

Your kidding, I've already got a car full of bandwagon jumpers who if the miracle happens will go - two of them have never even been to BV.

Good or bad they will crawl out of the woodwork for Wembley - we will sell every ticket we get for that.

Hell even my wives interested and she hates Rugby!

Sorry to be a pedant but, it that wives or wife's.
One is more than enough for most of us

Thought someone would spot that - one rugby hating wife is more than enough though half a dozen rugby loving wives would certainly help our attendances

There's loads of lads I know going to the the semi on pub coach trips etc who haven't been to games for ages or ever, worse thing is I go all the time season tickets holder 39 years and I can't make it. Getting to the final would be massive with loads of bandwagoners which is a good thing even if just s few return or buy shirts etc

I'm glad to be corrected on this.
Hope we drag them all in.......And keep them.

Quote ="Khlav Kalash"Still tickets available. We have got a pretty appalling supporter base. www.wakefieldwildcats.co.uk/news ... ll-on-sale'" The floaters we had under the Elston/Glover regime have either gone to Hudds/Cas/Leeds or just cant be bothered. I think it'll take a few consistent seasons before crowds get better. Then there are those who only came cos the tickets were cheap. And then there were those who were put off by some of the clubs new bizarre (at the time) policies.

Warrington weren't that convincing against Giants. They are good with ball especially individual skill but they are leaking points.
We have to take our chances.

Yes and stop daryl Clarke! We always seem to struggle against speed from dummy half . I was hoping he might get a slight injury today. Still reckon we can win and it will be a high scoring game..

There's every chance that Wire will put a cricket score on us... BUT - they do still look vulnerable to a really disciplined, structured side, who can play percentages and manage the game. We've got that in us, but we often fail to deliver it.

Sorry but I just can't see us losing next week, on the basis that we have failed to turn up for the last three years. We were absolute garbage yesterday, but we still won and most of their points came on the back of our errors.

Having said that, if I'm wrong and you do beat us, I will be made up for you as I remember how we felt in 2009, and would be hoping you could nick it in the final.

Which could also be a basis for us not seeing you winning next week.

In reality however, most Wakey fans will feel the same as you; this is not the Leigh board, so you won't find hoardes of us banging on about how we're going to do you - this is Wakefield, we don't do hubris.

Just hope it's an entertaining match. Anything more than that is a bonus.



Hope we are all there in decent numbers....still tickets available so the size of the ground was right which has surprised me. How many Trinity tickets have been sold?

Come on Trinity make yourselves local legends and get to that Final for the first time in 37 years!

Either way I can get a final ticket knowing that I'll either be watching my team in a final or sat with a good bunch of lads who deserve a final after all the uncertainty and trepidation they've gone through these past few years, and happily join in with on the day against Hull or Wigan.
I think Wire were the only team that refused to pick the bones out of you a few years back and actually offered you players on loan to help you compete.
I like Wakey, I have a close friend who is also a Wakefield fan too, when he's not saving turtles. Let's hope it's a good spectacle, May the best team win and if that isn't Wire then you have my drunken support at Wembley, just don't do a Cas or KR if you get there.

Classy that old lad.

23-10 is a bit different to 50-0 though!

Wonder if the team with its injuries will look something like...

Jowitt
Hall
Arundel
Lynne
Jones-Bishop
Miller
Finn
Scruton
Moore
Fifita
Kirmond
Ashurst
Sio

Subs. Anderson. A.Tupou, Arona, Walton

Sio has done his sternum so is likely gone and Ashurst has broken his jaw. Anderson will be touch and go but might play jabbed up.

Wouldn't expect anything else from a Warrington fan. Like I said earlier they're the only ones who ever give us or any other underdog credit. Wigan certainly could learn from them.

We've been where you are and most of us don't forget that. We know we're fortunate to have a wealthy backer and a good infrastructure.

Time for a certain Australian back rower to put his hand up and earn the salary hes on maybe?
