BMM hasn't been charged so is free to play.

This has little to no credibility as it literally comes from the 'bloke down the pub' but apparently Wigan have sold just 2,500 tickets for the semi-final. Such apathy wouldnt surprise me but does anyone have any info on sales (Wigan and overall) from a more reliable source?

Wigan sold their initial allocation and asked for more from the RFL. Not sure how many the initial allocation was though?

I've not heard anything but it seems off. I don't know what the initial allocation was but I'd have thought it was more then 2,500 and we've since got more. We were allocated half the main stand, all the seating behind the posts and the full touchline terrace and whilst we didn't get all the terracing tickets in one go we have since been given 500 extra.

Salford seemed to have stopped crowing that they're outselling us as well and they've sold about 5,000 I believe.

Wouldn't surprise me at all to see only 3,000 Wigan fans there.

Re: Semi Final v Salford : Tue Jul 25, 2017 10:37 am  

We are a strange bunch to be fair. We can take 2,000+ to the other side of the world, another couple of thousand to France yet at Leigh on a Thursday night we probably had half that amount there!

I can't see how it can be as low as 2,500 going off initial allocation but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

Wane's just told the press that he's looking forward to a packed house, so I doubt it's as little as 2/3k

Sadly I believe this is true, hoping there is a late surge.

Our fans' approach to certain games is bizarre.

Re: Semi Final v Salford : Tue Jul 25, 2017 7:04 pm  

sold 500 in 2 days

Semi final games seem to be the main ones over the years. Seems that our fans more than most take a 'wait and see if we get to the final' approach.
