I do think the upturn of the team and the connection with the community has a lot to do with the extra ticket sales in the semis. Also I went to the Leeds semi 3 years back and that was poorly attended by Wigan. Leeds brought loads and it felt like it lifted them. I do understand people not wanting to pay double the money and will hold out for the GF.

Full of half empty that place - for the GF - is always a pants atmosphere.
Air horns don’t count.

Finals don't tend to have the best atmospheres whether it's rugby, football or whatever. Wembley finals in football always feel a little underwhelming.

You’re not far wrong there but I’ve been to Wembley for club finals & big England games and enjoyed excellent atmospheres.

Apart from “Wigan, Wigan, Wigan” I can’t recall a single song I’ve heard sung at OT for any of the GF’s I’ve been at.

The singing fans are spread out a little more in finals I guess - in contrast to the vast majority of games with unreserved seating/standing.

More than anything I'm hoping to see a better game than last year. I don't want to be selfish as any Wigan win is great but these days I'm just as keen to see high quality rugby (I.e. intensity, skill, drama etc).
