Even at £10 a ticket it looks like it's going to be a terrible attendance on Saturday.
Sounds almost sacrilegious but if we're going to reduce the players minutes should the cup be the thing to go, hard to see how any club makes money from it these days.
After a few seasons would anyone notice if it wasn't in the calendar anymore ?

atm FC have 7 club supporters coaches coming on saturday, not including other independent fc travel groups, if it wasn't for both Wigan and Hull FC subsidising free travel and cheap tickets, the club was struggling to fill 1 coach. Plenty of reasons for lack of interest before the offer was introduced for us fc fans....recent big defeat at home, saturday teatime kick off and then we have 3 away games after this game too.

I'm going because of the £10 tickets but it does seem to get worse year after year. The cup won't go as the semis and final are still good events which generate revenue but I find it difficult to get up for the earlier rounds given the poor attendances and atmospheres. 

Well done guys, hopefully we can respond  likewise. I have an infinity with the CC, I like going to different grounds so hopefully it sticks around for a good few more years.

I agree Zig the CC seems to go on forever Well done FC if that many coaches are on their way.
As long as Wigan don't underestimate them we should be ok.

It looks absolutely shocking on the ticket map but hopefully there will be a decent uptake as the week goes on. We've got about 6 or 7 regulars who go and will be going Saturday and none of us have bothered yet. Being able to buy a ticket at the click of a button on your phone/tablet means there is no rush for many. It won't be pretty either way but hopefully it gets up to 9/10k come kick off. 

As you say it doesn’t look great, I would hazard a guess that 4.5k tickets have been sold. We know that the club, and players, hold this competition in the highest regard and consequently I think we should all get behind them as I’m sure we all want another trip to Wembley.

Over 1k sold by Hull for this one, but on the whole, it's going to be an empty looking stadium
