He just called us the world champions. This is not true yet, we are not the world champions. We were 17 years ago.

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.

In the context that we took many more to OT than needed to fill the DW who paid more for the privilege, not that 25k is pisspoor - understand now?

As for taking more than 30k, I'd like to see any official figures you have?

On your point about Leeds crowd being similar to ours, I suppose that % wise then the Wigan public support their club more than Leeds RL then bearing in mind the respective Sizes of the 2 x places?
And if we can attract say 5k above our Average out of the remaining 150k people in Wigan is that Worse/Better than Leeds taking 15k extra out of the remaining 700k?

I'm also pretty sure that we won't see as many "Neutrals" for this game as others have seen on previous occasions for various reasons.

You only had to look at the Wiganers everywhere at OT including all over the Stain end to realise the numbers we had that day.

As I've said about three times now but which seemed to be ignored, my original issue is that people seem to want to blame the RFL for the take-up in tickets, I've just showed we've no excuses to blame anyone else, especially when at the moment the number of Wiganers won't be more than the number we've had for a Stains game.

When I mentioned that you had used the term "Really Poor" you said you had said Nothing of the Sorts - I was pointing out that you had, along with P155 Poor.
I understand what your saying, do I agree with it? No - Do you understand now?

Last Saints game they brought over 5k and we had what? 21k on? So there's not going to be more than 16k on this Sunday for a Fact?
Why do we have to "Blame" anyone?
Have you got your ticket?
I've got Mine, and it appears that over 10% of Wigan's Total population have to. I consider that a oretty good effort, if you don't fair enough.

If only Leeds could have had 70/80k plus at their World Club challenge eh?
And before you say, I'm pretty sure the more Target audience you have, the more chance you have of a larger number of casual take up on top of the Existing fans?

I did not use it in the context you claimed I did - understand now (again)?

And I said A Stains game, not just the last one.

If you'd bother to actually read what I wrote you'll see I disagree with the one blaming the RFL - perhaps you need to ask that question to them.

Considering the number we took to OT we should sell out no problem.

If only Leeds had an average attendance of 50/60k then? They don't.

So are you saying that there are any Wiganners Not going to this game compared to our "Average" Home support or even say a Derby Game against Saints when we normally have around 14/15/16/17k home supporters?
If they're not then questions should be asked, seeing as it's an RFL event why not ask them? But seeing as the total sales have passed that figure I'm pretty sure they are going.

If they are all going, which I bet 99% are then basically my point stands and the fact that 10-15% of Wigans population look they'll be there on the Night.
I think that's a pretty good effort given many circumstances.

If I was asked to go and Sell a product where 200k people live and get 20k+ turnout & somewhere were 3/4 million live (Nearly 4 times that amount) I would expect to sell more? Is that not a fair assumption? Especially when the Base market starts at around 15k to begin with?

PS

Next time I think you've picked me up on a point I'll use the term "I didn't mean it in that context" if that's ok?

PPS

You'll also find that I've said numerous times on this thread that I can't believe people are criticising an attendance that we don't even know yet?
