Should be a few more sales today after last night. The Wiganers will be up for it given our poor effort at Hull KR and their trouncing of Wakey.

Hull KR will turn up in numbers after nullifying Saints in that second half, with most of their props missing.

Going to be a close league this year, not a good one for the knee jerk fan who bolts at the first loss.

But last night quite a few games were down on last years fixture.

Huddersfield Salford will be lucky to hit 5k as will wakey.

salford will bring a good number over, we get around 4500-5000 home fans so i reckon something around 6300 for us

Doubt it.

16k sold for the Hull derby but a massive difference in mood between the two fan bases, Rovers are on a high after beating Saints and their fans will be snapping up whatever tickets are left...whilst us Hull fans are dreading it! I reckon a crowd of 19/20k in the end.

Re: 80,000 fans for Round 8? : Wed Apr 01, 2015 6:31 pm  

25,000 sold in Wigan
20,000 sold in Hull
Cas website says theirs will be close to a sellout...

That's roughly 58,000 between the three games. Just need the other 3 to come up with the 22k between them. I'm sticking by my original prediction!

Given the unreserved seating restrictions it will be a bit under 25k for the wigan game, and Hull said yesterday they were up to 17k - have they really sold 3k more today!? Be great if so, sure our Easter games produce a lot more TV viewers so great to have them played in front of packed out vociferous crowds!

Apparently so, announced today that they have hit 20k so will probs be more than that in total, I'm predicting about 21,500 which will be the largest hull derby attendance since something like 2008, I'm sure someone will correct me on that lol
