MancWanderer Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Yeah just saying that there's possibly a load of reasons I couldn't go today because of a family do and my Hull FC mate didn't go yesterday as he's on holiday. We always attend Magic Weekend, go to as many games as possible, but this weekend was simply the wrong date. It happens mate Quote
Escobarp Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Yeah I know it does and folk miss games for genuine reasons that's a given Just seemed like a an awful lot of folk missing today I expected a large Wigan support as I've always seen before whenever weve played them Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 Pure fact of the matter is that it's a rare year if Wigan don't have at least one semi final, so it's an entirely different proposition to Salford getting there once every couple of decades. I bet there's more than a few who won't be especially arsed at missing Wembley because they know they'll be back there in a year or two. Quote
Escobarp Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Could say the same of the big football clubs I guess although they still seem to sell out allocations for semi finals and finals year on year. I also don't believe it will be long before Salford are in another semi final but time will tell. I just simply found today surprising attendance wise that's all Edited July 30, 2017 by Escobarp Quote
tomski Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 On holiday I've just had to meet a Wigan rugby family. Plus news they told me where I can watch the super whites next week. Sad news is they were boring as fuck and told me about rugby for an hour. Quote

I just simply found today surprising attendance wise that's all Didn't City struggle to sell their allocation for the FA Cup semi final other year? The football clubs who are regularly at Wembley only get an allocation that is barely even half of their average home attendance so it's not really a comparison to be made. Leeds seemed to have a similar struggle to shift their tickets for Saturday. Quote
Escobarp Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 (edited) Not sure if I'm honest. Different travelling 200 miles to Wembley as compared to 20 miles to Warrington both time and cost wise. Leeds vs hull was almost full yesterday. Wigan sold 50% of their tickets for today Anyway good luck to Wigan in the final hopefully be a good game Edited July 30, 2017 by Escobarp Quote
medwaywhite Posted July 30, 2017 Posted July 30, 2017 So Wigan only sold 5,000 out of there 10,000 allocation on a stadium that only holds 14000 , got to agree that's bad . I for wasn't there won't be there for the final , ( shit fan ) money saved for Australia in October for the RL World Cup . Unless there is some nice person on here that will pay for a weekend in London,so I won't miss the final Quote

Big E Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 Oh dear. Relegation beckons for the chemics Quote
Salford Trotter Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 Chase is a troubled genius with a tendancy to hit the self destruct button. I don't believe we will see him play top flight RL again sadly Quote
Leyther_Matt Posted August 3, 2017 Posted August 3, 2017 4 year ban now, isn't it? So very little chance of a comeback at any sort of level. Fear it'll actually have a bit of a galvanising effect on Widnes. Quote
Big E Posted August 3, 2017 Author Posted August 3, 2017 It's such a shame and waste of a talent. I think we should be allowed the players to be off their heads. Certainly make it more interesting. Spliffs as part of the warm up Quote
Escobarp Posted August 5, 2017 Posted August 5, 2017 Adam walker from Wakefield also been done for same thing as well now Quote
Big E Posted August 5, 2017 Author Posted August 5, 2017 I think it should be promoted. I would love to see the massive roid heads off if. Joking apart though it's mental that this happens. Surely we can control things better. I wouldn't like to be a Leigh lad done for it. Smiffs would chop em up and put em in the half time lobby Quote
