Your mate and a few others on a measuring contest would be better trying a different number and seeing if that retailer has a Life for sale?

Not a measuring contest!! It was to see if you had more people manning phones than we do. We choose not to use the Ticket Office at the stadium as we get charged for the pleasure, so all done out of the club shop, which is resulting in the large queues today.

It was more a test to see what Wigan do being in a similar ground share situation as us.

Get off your high horse, you're starting to sound like Shaun Wane

But that's not what you did or said is it?
You came on telling us how your mate spent 3 months trying to get through on the phone and there queues larger than the ones at Calais at your club shop whilst he made 1 call to Wigan and got through.

FWIW I suspect Wigan may sell 4/5 thousand and Hull possibly double that if not more.
I would guess if the game had been held "Mid point" (Huddersfield/Leeds for example) then Hull would still probably take more.

Believe it or not I like it when the Hull clubs do well (Apart from some of the "Baggage" that comes with it) as it is proper Rugby League place.

Confusion sorted!
We can buy each other a pint at the game?
That's if you can get a ticket???
If not I'll get you one, there'll be thousands left apparently at our end

PS
2008 went on the RLFANS World Cup tour
Possibly best 5 weeks I've ever had and spent most of the time with about 20 Hull fans and 10 Sintelliners! In fact still stay in touch with half a dozen or so of them and meet up for a pint regularly at games.
Never judge a Book by it's cover

Never understood this 3 hour queue business in this day and age, I will just book mine via the Wigan Eticket website, worked ok plenty of times, costs £2 to get them posted out but hey no queue no driving to Wigan.
Glad you are selling well, we all know you will outnumber us and so you should being at Doncaster on a Friday night, but I will be there and it's what happens on the pitch not the ticket office that counts as Cas found out.
Who will win, I don't know, depends what 17 we can put out by then and who performs on the night, I am sure it will be a cracker, lets hope the best team wins which is what happened in both our Q/F's.

Agreed, as the game is a month off yet there is plenty of time for form to change (both Hull & Wigan have good form at the moment) and injuries to come and go.

This got me thinking, when was the last time Wigan and Hull were pitched together in a semi final?
Struggling to think of a time!

Just a hunch but it might be because ours only go on sale in the morning

Tell him give it another whirl tomorrow (although he'll still probably get straight through).
