The most annoying thing about Bennett is that he gets on T.V everywhere!!!!!!!! And obviously, the fact that he's a drunken idiot.

Anyway, back on topic, I'm going for 14K also. I can't make it due to work.

I'll also go for 14k. 4 of us should be making the trip up from Coventry. I don't think Saints will bring many 2k at the most.

It'll be a disappointing crowd.

Would expect a healthy away following though.

Rubbish home crowd, big loud away support.

Agree with the circa 13k guesses. The daft format suggests we would probably play them again in week 3 which will put people off as will the prices. Two potentially big games against stains then a Grand Final puts more strain on peoples finances.

Can't afford to make all the playoffs so this is one I'll be missing. It helps me not to be too disappointed, in that it's an all but pointless match.

I think people are being pretty disrespectful of the likes of Catalans and Leeds when they label this game pointless.

The is not a pointless match; I certainly don't want us to have to play against a good side and risk being knocked out in a fortnight when the players could have their feet up preparing for one game to take them to OT.

Big game, particularly for Saints as it would breed confidence. This makes it a big game for Wigan for the same reason - to maintain the edge they have built up in recent games against us.
