WIGAN WARRIORS and Leigh Leopards are set for the biggest play-off attendance for TWENTY years.
Ticket sales last night struck 18,000, surpassing every Super League play-off attendance since 2004 when three fixtures hit the 20,000 mark.
Back then, 20,052 people flocked to the then-named JJB Stadium as Wigan Warriors overcame St Helens 18-12 in the elimination play-off before 21,225 filled Headingley as Bradford Bulls beat Leeds Rhinos 26-12 in the eliminator semi-final,
Leeds then went on to thrash Wigan 40-12 in the elimination final in front of 20,119 as the Rhinos then went on to beat Bradford 16-8 at Old Trafford that year.
And with ticket sales still going at a steady pace, the fixture between Wigan and Leigh could well surpass 20,000 fans.
