Reasonable question, just a little over 5 hours before kickoff.

I am going regardless as i do every year.



I dont think it will put many neutrals off as im sure most already have tickets anyway and like myself go for the day out.



Cant get away from the fact that one end will be almost empty though due to the fact that the usual 15-20k plus following a big northern club brings will be missing.

That confident was I that we wouldn't be participating I booked my holidays from this Sunday for 10 days! I wouldn't have gone anyway TBH.

Of course not, I'll only go if the team I support gets there.



So nothing against Catalans.

It would make me more likely to go

No I shall watch it in the comfort of my own home so I can enjoy the stellar commentary & always riveting insights of such broadcasting luminaries as the legendary Michael Stephenson & the young prodigy Philip Clarke.

more importantly will Catalans fans go to the final

Yes, I would imagine so, maybe not as many as would go if they were UK based.



If Wigan got to the WCC final and it was in France, how many would go?



How many NRL fans come over here for the WCC?



it's a simple question of logistics, geography and cost. Where would I rather be in mid October, South of France or Manchester... let me think..

A quick look at how many Wigan fans attended the last WCC, which was played in Aus, should answer that question for you...



HTH

Bare in mind that Catalans will have only one week in the knowledge they will be in the grand final. One week to organize a journey to another country.

I agree, but was responding to another question..

We're both in the EU, it's literally a case of popping on a flight.



No excuse for their end to be empty if they get there.
