yep, and every team that has got to a cup final/grand final in the last 114 years except Huddersfield who, surprisingly, are going to be supported by more than their usual amount of fans in their biggest game for 45+ years......can you imagine Bradford,Leeds,St Helens,Wigan,Warrington etc actually having people watching them at a final that didnt normally go to games - it would be unthinkable

Two wrongs don't make a right.

according to league express today, by end of business on friday evening, warrington had sold 13,500,we sold 7,500, so the wire fans calculation of 17,500 by wednesday is way off the mark.
not forgetting we had a home game last night and no doubt sold a good few thousand more.

lets face it every club who goes to wembley will double their usual average crowd...apart from hull kr as wembley only holds 90,000

On Thursday evening on Radio Manchester, Craig Spence confirmed that Wire had sold approximately 14,500-15000 by c.o.b Thursday.

There's plenty of conflicting figures knocking around, and you don;t know who is including figures from the RFL etc.

The Warrington Guardian have run an article today stating that ticket sales are far exceeding expectations, and they are now expecting 25k Wire fans rather than 20k, although they don't quote any sold figures.

Are you wanting £26 tickets as they still have 3 blocks in the upper tier at this price available! In fact they only have upper tier tickets left being the cheapest of all the allocation!

I have 4 tickets for sale.

Block 525. Row 5.

They were £61 per ticket but I will accept £200 for all 4.

I think we will be out numbered on day but as soon as we got through to the final we bought our tickets via the RFL asap. Tickets went on sale at 10.30 am and we all work and getting down to the stadium to get tickets is very difficult.

So that's 8 of us going!

I think there will also be plenty of neutrals who choose a side so the atmosphere should be good however many we and wire officially take. There are so many numbers being banded about its hard to know what the official figures are.

lets come off it.

Wire fans are looking at atleast 30,000. The club sold 16,000 by the end of TUESDAY after they went on sale.

Add in the few thousand people who brought the tickets at the rfl website...


We are looking at about 45 Club Coaches. (48 seaters) Plus 2 wire flyers. (probably about 150 seats in them trains) then the busses that are not put on the club. (about 10 that i know of)
then the Hundreds of cars that are going.
