Some Saints fan behind me at Warrington yesterday was moaning because we've hardly sold any tickets for Wembley and it should have been at Huddersfield! I literally starting laughing out loud.

The same bloke did say both ends we're pretty empty at the DW on Saturday night though so I'm sure he's got issues with his vision.

A 60k crowd will be great, even better if we can push it above 65k.

Beer goggles. Or he turned up at central Park rather than the DW and thought it looked a bit sparce.

Hopefully they will really get the message out in London. £20 to watch two games at Wembley Stadium is amazing value. When we had the international double header down there two years ago a uni mate of mine was desperate for me to find some transport so that we could go, purely for the fact that as a soccer fan he would never be able to afford a trip to the national stadium.

Back in April when Steve Mac went on BBC Radio 2 he mentioned ticket prices for the double header, they were inundated with texts asking were they really that cheap or had he got it wrong. Get Offiah etc on local radio and a few pages in the free papers/Standard.

If you are a fan up north bite the bullet, get yourself some tickets and find a way down there. You know you will only regret it!

Working for me, but last night I just had a blank page which kept flickering. Try it from your phone as that's what I did and had more luck.

Not very scientific but Jamie Peacock mentioed on TV after the QF that the SF would be great with 60,000 there. So, that maybe implies ticket sales then were around that mark or a little below and he was rounding up to be positive?
