Warrington 30% higher ticket sales than Wigan

[Ancientbutloyal]

On Radio Manchester's Rugby League hour last night it stated that The Rugby Football league had confirmed that Wire had sold 30% more tickets than Wigan for the SF.

Warrington have every reason to be optimistic and so I can understand why they have sold so many tickets. Even so this suggests that we are down to approx 5,000 supporters and if I was Ian Lenagan I would be concerned because if this is a reflection of the Wigan fan's becoming disillusioned, season ticket sales could be well down for next season. Unless we win the cup of course.

I cannot remember a time when Warrington have outsold Wigan for such a significant match

like i said in another thread, wire have sold their allocation to the glory hunters who only watch the "big" matches.

This is not good news for Wigan.

A lot of people are on Holiday that week. A lot of people have posted this on the forum.

The only excuss is the semi final is in a small town in Warrington!

Wire have been playing better rugby over the last 2 months and the fans are getting behind them. We are hopefully just finding our form.

I am sure that if it was a final we would out sell any club in the league.

I hate this though coz Wire are boasting that they have the best supports in the country and that ain't the case!

Wire beat us the last time we played a semi at Widnes. About playing better rugby, we have overleaped them in the table to 5th... but I can understand our awful start to the season contributing.


We have the second best home attendance and first best away attendances, i can't explain why wire have beat us.

It must be the novelty factor that wire have made it to a semi final

I have decided not to go to this match.But it relates to the fact I am on short time working anf I am 20% down on my wages. I would love to go but if it is on TV then I will not miss seeing them but will miss the atmophere

2004 semi they had far far more than just 30% more than us, i think they outnumbered us by 3 to 1. Most people I know who aren't going is because of the trouble last time and I fear this may well be the same this time with Wire fans in our stands. Bring your tin hats lads.
