Neutrals would certainly not be intrigued by the stadium. In fact I would have gone if Wembley, as my sister lives near there!
Think most neutrals would have preferred Wembley, though I may have a late change of heart as Hudds is my home town club and good to see them going well…….

Go to the game Shabino you will enjoy especially if Giants win.

Can't even buy more than one coach ticket via the website now either. Wigan really don't help themselves sometimes.

There will be plenty that have done them all. I know someone who watches them home and away and he is certainly not "mega rich".

At least going to Spurs, nobody can moan about the M62.

Anyone who can afford to own a Liverpool season ticket, watch them at every/most away league games, cup games, European matches home and away along with semi final and finals tickets then good luck to you... you ain't brassic.

We had the same issue a couple of days ago, went to the shop yesterday and they had loads.

Agree, the page is not that easy to find, and I was specifically looking for it.

Contacted someone at the club and they've fixed this now.

Club have been granted an additional allocation, that's good news at least in terms of the crowd size.

Good to hear. There’s been a worrying lack of updates from the other clubs playing on the day but hopefully sales are going well everywhere. You’d like to think we can fill the place but that might be unrealistic. In terms of it looking good for tv and there being a good atmosphere, it would be nice to at least get above 50,000.

The stadium itself should encourage some neutrals.

Especially with it being a one off.

I couldn't get decent tickets via the Wigan allocation soni had to go the the RL site to buy mine.

I've been to plenty of Challenge Cup Finals, but I've never been to one from Wigan before. Naturally, I resent the early start!

I used to to live (only) 100 miles from London, and it was an an easy zap down the M4 on my bike. But of course, I'm really looking forward to it, and it will be great to make the trip with other Wigan fans.
