“We are delighted to be able to host the Academy Grand Final before our Play-Off clash with Salford on Friday in what promises to be a bumper evening of rugby league, and I’d like to thank the staff at the DW Stadium and Wigan Athletic FC for their help and support in what is set to be a huge night for the Club.”

Concession price in this article listed at £16. Price shown on ticket site (and in my basket) is £17.???

It is £23 less discount £18 for adults

£17 less discount £14 for concessions.

It’s just another typo error from the Official site!

I’ve altered it now

Sadly wont be able to make it unless I can get time off work. Last time they played it at the DW as a curtain raiser I got time off and there were two men and a dog in the crowd as people struggled to make the kick off in time after work. Much as it pains me to say it, it isn't really fair on the Saints fans either if they have to pay the full entrance fee for the Salford match that they aren't really bothered about. As its a final it should be at a neutral venue as a stand alone game e.g. LSV.

I'm sure we have played the final at LSV in the past as I broke my right pinky there when Rocky kicked for touch and I caught the ball (badly). I'm pretty sure that match was an academy final.

Yes we did against Warrington. We’ve played it in a few different places even when we’ve finished top, Leeds, Hull, St. Helens when Whelan wouldn’t allow us to play it at the DW.

That's correct. Although we played our home games at Orrell the ground was deemed, by the RFL, unfit to stage the final so we had to either play on a neutral ground or away from home! Thankfully, that problem has now been resolved by the DW being available.
