It's labelled 'the Wigan walk', there's a reason for that. All fans lose heart and will leave early at some point, but I have never see a team do it as consistently as Wigan. In all fairness there are plenty who stay, but a lot of fans leave up to 10-15 minutes before the end of the game when Wigan are losing.

Yeah, after seeing them attendances maybe it won't be such a problem then. I don't think bandwaggoners will go to away games at Widnes, where will they get their prawn sandwiches from?

Let's get back to being sensible. As I posted earlier the non Good Friday games have not been sell outs, however with the limited capacity at Widnes this one should be. What Saints need to do is to make the West Stand (away stand) allocated seating for this Wigan game. As it is if the seats are unallocated they will lose 10% of the 3,747 available seats (those are the rules) That's 374 seats at say £20 each, almost £7,500 which I'm sure would more than cover the cost of printing the extra tickets.

Bandwagoners can't turn up from Wigan.
Our allocation at KR was only three-four thousand or so and those are always sold out to season ticket holders and never go on general sale.
Better a full Stobart than a half empty Goodison or Anfield.
19000 at either would look awful with capacities of 39k -44k.
