22,000 mark passed this morning. With the BBC set to broadcast it live together with Sky, its slowly returning to its event status.

Almost sold out

Wigan under their new owner have turned a corner

Wouldn’t mind if they win it either

Long way to go but here’s hoping we get to a stage when anfield, elland rd and the etihad are staging games again.

Poms getting it right huh?

 

[RL The greatest game]

I still expect a Panthers victory despite the cold weather they will experience there

Should’ve been played there would’ve sold out

No it wouldn’t have. The DW stadium with just over 24k tickets on sale has yet to sell out.

 

[Harry O]

23k sold, will be sold out in no time now

Code in crisis

COM Stadium wouldn't have sold out (it holds 53.5K), but it would have attracted a bigger crowd than DW Stadium.

DW got to 20K pretty quickly, sales have only slowed down because only the less popular parts of the venue are available. It possibly would have got to 30K relatively easily, though I can understand why Wigan would rather play at DW.

 

[Harry O]

South stand sold out apparently

Where are the days when Wigan attracted 37k vs Manly @ central park in 1987. This record by Wigan will never beaten.

Different time and different game back then sadly.

It’s asking a lot for Wigan fans to be expected to traipse over to Manchester in winter for a night game.

I think if the DW held 30k they could easily have sold it out but unfortunately it doesn’t and neither does any other stadium close by like Bolton for example.

Gotta be a first time for everything. What's this, their 4th attempt ?
