Aye, I've noticed that. The weight of feeling around the game, especially within the written media is so tilted towards HKR. I keep saying it but there is a side going for a Grand Slam on Saturday but you wouldn't have a clue in the main. There has been the odd mention here and there since the semi but not much before and to think it would be the first in Superleague History, it's a pretty well kept secret. In fairness, I think it drives Peet and the team. He mentioned the media talk after the cup final and mentioned last week how the game wants a new winner, so if it helps us stay focussed then they can keep ignoring it.

I quite like it that whilst Hull KR will be playing in their first Grand Final, most of the City of Hull will be cheering for Wigan.
According to RFL website just over 1000 tickets left - mainly in top tier North across full length of the pitch, plus there are 5 sections in the East showing availability. Depending on website if you hover over the section, it tells you what is left, so quickly totted up
i've not been on Wigan or KR sites, to see if they have anything available
Either way, looking like big crowd and atmosphere for the game

KR site has quite a few left, over 100, Wigan site just a handful. Mine arrives this morning so happy bunny. I can believe the 1000 left in total looking at all 3 sources.

Big block of tickets just appeared in the middle section of West Stand, must be really annoying for those who’ve gone into the top tier because they thought they had no other option
Sure as eggs is eggs, a bloody big batch of tickets have just been released in the second tier to the right of the posts on the Wigan end. Why oh why have these tickets not been available for sale all week when supporters have been scrapping around for the dregs up in the gods!

Beat me to it. Frustrating as hell, but not surprising.

Yeah saw that last night. I'm quite near the front and likely in the rain all evening, and would've loved to have been in the seats that got released last night. Very annoying
