Was a rumour going around last Friday that we (Wigan) had only sold 800 - 1000 . Pretty poor if correct . A mail shot was sent out to Wigan fans to boost numbers .

Friday night game hasnt helped with the travel for Wigan, the M62 is bad on a friday night, but its very poor how badly Challenge Cup semi finals are attended these days, this game should be a good 20k+ with the fanbases Hull and Wigan have. Instead the games seem to get smaller every year in smaller grounds.

If the rumour of 800-1000 is accurate then that is truly embarrassing. I remember Hull taking 2500 to Knowsley Road a few years back (the game with the fog) - on a Friday night and that was a league game

One of the best atmospheres i have been in at an away game!
"What the f*** is going on" "We can't see a f***ing thing!"
I remember my mate saying that he was at the scoreboard end and he heard a huge roar from the Hull fans, and then Tom Briscoe emerged out of the fog scoring a full length of the field try!

The fog game at Knowsley Rd was a Saturday tea time game.
That said, in 2006 we took a right mob with us there in the 27-26 Cooke drop goal game and that was a Thursday night game.
