i struggle at times to understand the mentality of some fans, reading comments on forums and social media. IMO its the fairest way for both sets of fans to hold it at a ground somewhere in the middle ground. Admittedly its slightly closer to KR this time (about 20 miles) but IMO its far better than last year
we've sold out Saints, Leigh already this year, and took decent numbers to Cas at weekend (asking for further batches of tickets)
After last year i didnt want the game at Headingley, if they were going to allocate the stands in the same way. It should have been something like North (50:50), East (Wigan), South (KR) and then if either sold excess tickets then the Western terrace
Doncaster looks like a decent stadium to me. Just over 15k capacity, and i dont see any reason why we shouldnt be looking to sell 7-7.5k for a semi final. Apart from the season ticket fiasco, there's a feel good factor about the place at the minute, and we should be looking to get there in numbers and get behind the team, not making excuses for not going (yes, i know not everyone can make it before i get pelters)
I'd love to think we could sell numbers like those but honestly, I doubt we'll take more then a couple of thousand. The cup just isn't pulling in big numbers anymore, other than for teams like HKR who getting to semi finals and finals is pretty new to all their fans born from the 90's onwards.
If Wigan can get sales up towards 4k I'll be both happy and surprised.
