Whenever we play with passion and determination against Saints we seem to give them a good game (eg last game of last season and the season before) but when we don't our heads go down quickly and its normally a Saints walkover

Hopefully the young lads will help with the enthusiasm and Noble will get them fired up like he normally does around play off time

I can't wait for the game tbh. I know Saints looked good the other night but i reckon we can give them a good game if we play to our best. The 2 new youngsters should really be up for their first derby game and that excitment will hopefully rub off on the others.

As for the crowd i'd be suprised if it's any less then 21-22k. It won't sell out as even some good friday games have taken until around kick off to sell out and i just can't see there being that big a walk up on the night.

To be honest, if Saints play anywhere near the level they did against Saints we'll get no where near them. They'll open us up down the middle of the pitch and their try line defence will be too strong.

Although the Saints Leeds game was a great match, it made dcepressing viewing to realise just how far behind them we are.

Don't think it will sell out on a Thursday Night. Might have done on Good Friday had Sky given us 1pm like Hull v Hull KR have. Should be around 22,000 though I'd expect.

might not sell out, but im going and i prefer thursday night personally.
night out, few pints, then get good friday free to spend with family..

If we beat Huddersfield (with a good performance) and the weather is good, then we'll get a few more on than lately.

Should sell out - the added 'push' that the club are doing e.g. Wigan, Leigh & Wrightington NHS Trust staff could buy tickets for £10 to this match, should help that.

BTW, the same staff could buy Elton John MEN concert tickets in December for £10 and the same for last night's MEN Lionel Ritchie concert - I know which 1 out of the 3 I would prefer

dunno if it will sell out il go for 24, 998, but im glad the game is on a thursday night, gives me us an extra day to try and drive to perpignan haha, but seriously i watch the recent leeds bradford game on a thursday and always wanted wigan and saints to do the same, better atmosphere at night

I'd buy a raft of Elton John tickets and flog um on e-bay

I've got my season ticket safely tucked away so don't need the rugby tickets.
