Fortunately it didn't look too bad on TV, cameras pointing mainly at the stand you were sat in.

Wow looks really empty on that shot. What point in the game was this taken? When I watched on TV it looked fairly full at the start and then it looked like this towards the end. I just put it down to the Wigan Walk.

This shouldn't be surprising. When away games happen in sports the majority of fans (well over half) will travel by train, so it's not unlikely that a large number of ticket holders (even whole rows) decided not to attend based on no trains and awful weather for driving. I thought the atmosphere was good and enjoyed the game. Looking forward to the tonight's and tomorrow's games. Wish I could afford the NZ game tonight but I splurged my cash on the final.

To be fair, RMT strikes on quarter final weekend won't have helped. The fact they called them off last night makes no difference, they'd already done the damage.
