As for being "mickey Poor", IMO you couldn't be wider off the mark.
1987 Manly game was regular attendance prices.
Typical RFL getting greedy again.

I don't personally give a poop whether there's 10k/20k or a Sellout the most important thing is Were in it!
When the Wolfs get there and decide to take it to a Big Stadium to attract the 30k they will take then good luck to em!

How many did we take to Old Trafford for the GF? Many more than it would take to fill the DW. How much did people pay for their tickets then? More than they need to for the WCC, add in the neutrals that will be there and the fact we still haven't sold out (we may do but I doubt it) is really poor.
Leeds couldn't even play it at their own ground and yet still turned up more than we are. The fact Leeds is a city has nothing to do with it - their average attendance in those years wasn't a million miles away from we are. It's just an easy excuse to use the fact people can't sit where they usually do because it's dearer. There's still plenty of the cheapest seat left that are still a bargain for such an important game.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/fe ... -challenge "Thierry Alibert will become the first Frenchman to referee a World Club Challenge, which could be almost as much of an advantage as the expected capacity crowd for Wigan as they will be more familiar with his idiosyncrasies."
This has got to be a joke???
