Yakstorm Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 So the corner between the Wigan and Catalan fans has been put on General Sale, and there is less than 50-odd tickets available. On the Grandstand side, all of the second level is now sold out (Bays 201 - 210) whilst there is really strong sales on the third Level between Bays 302 - 308. On the opposite side, around 50% of the available tickets have been moved between Bays 228 - 234, whilst there are also some reasonable sales on Level 3 on that side, although also a number of Bays on that Level which look like they'll be covered and thus are not on sale. Behind Wigan's end, there is around 40% of available tickets sold between 241 - 248, whilst the other end of the field, about a third of the lower bowl tickets between 116 - 123 have been moved... If that's only 23,500 tickets, then it is going to look alright on TV as there will be a decent number of people in the lower bowl, plus then people up to Level 3 near the halfway points on the sidelines, with the lower bowl in both those seconds packed and one end of the ground packed.

Chris Taylor Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I would absolutely love for this to be a success story - the game needs it to be, Who knows, where this one game may take us? It would be lovely if this was an annual event - or maybe a magic weekend event? 2008 RFL Wakefield & District Young Volunteer of the Year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me my mam & dad have been away for ten days and they come back this evening. They asked me to “go up and water the plants while they were away”. I’ve not bothered watering because i thought it would rain while they were away. But i’ll just tell them “we had a couple of bad nights when it threw it down, and now that weather has moved onto Barcelona”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more on about locals, I thought that would have been fairly obvious. Not many locals are interested in getting soaking wet for 2 hours at a sport they know nothing about.

The forecast for tomorrow is looking fine, 19 degrees and mostly sunny. Afraid you need to go and find something else to be misersble about.

It’ll never be the greatest until they sort out that temporary East Stand. And you can’t see the Tower behind the Kop any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
