Correct. Could be the difference between a 20k crowd and a 23k crowd.

Don't think we'll get 23k for this one. Only got 22k last year with cheaper tickets.



According to E-tickets we have already sold over 12,000 and wire will bring around 4k so with no more work it will be well over 16k..... Around 20k I reckon.



I can only dream of a sell-out

If we win on friday with a weakened team, its worth about another 2k on top of that i reckon.

I did go to the friendly - I didn't understand it then either!!

hold on a second, a few months ago you were all sitting here with titty lip's about the fact we had the audacity to call ourselves champions..... now your marketing team copy the idea from us and it's "its just marketing, were good at it"

To be fair, this is true. Wire were mocked for their marketing team calling them 'Champions'

seriously who cares it's just a way to get more bums on seats.



God are we the only sport that moans about everything that should be cheering about.



It rolls of the tongue easier than saying "when league champions and challenge cup winners collide"

Exactly. This will probably end up in a petty bickering thread between Wigan and Wire fans too. It's worse than the Hull forums on here sometimes.

i hope it doesnt, and if it does my apologies, as it wasnt my intention.



I was just saying that we got lambasted for it, but now you do it it's a stroke of marketing genius.



I had no problem with it when we did and don't have a problem with it now either, as others have said, better marketing = more bums on seats, and thats what it is all about at the end of the day.

Correct. It was a stupid idea.





Correct. It's a great idea.





C'mon, you know how fans work.

I think the thing with it is. The Champions are now giving you that name too whereas before it was the team that were cup winners calling themselves champions so its not quite the same. However, both are incorrect and both are great pieces of marketing simple as.
