82 coaches is just over 4,000. Are the other 16,000 in the 20,000 at Old Trafford going to be from Wigan? Hope you win.
PELE, ****bag poster and troll from Scunny on the old Footymad board, had as his signature 'to get your attention makes me smile', I imagine Vern is smiling. The views expressed in my posts are not necessarily mine.
Come on you're better than that. You know very well that not all fans will travel on the officially recognised coaches. Add in those on trains, cars, mini buses and privately organised coaches.
Walked by admiral and it’s packed with Rovers fans Wish I was going now tbh Hoping they do it Come on Rovers
Is making a match thread difficult? Must be as some people seem incapable of doing it and have to ask others to do it.
Betfred Super League Grand Final - Wigan Warriors v Hull KR Venue: Old Trafford, Manchester Date:Saturday, 12 October Kick-off: 18:00 BST Coverage: Commentary on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds; live text on BBC Sport website & app; highlights on BBC Two at 14:50 BST on Sunday, 13 October and on BBC iPlayer One team is looking to complete an unprecedented season of success in the modern era, one side wants to spoil the party and enter into the elite list of names to lift the Grand Final trophy. Wigan Warriors face-off against Hull KR in an epic battle for glory under the lights at Old Trafford on Saturday. A seventh triumph is at stake for the Cherry and Whites, off the back of another stunning campaign under head coach Matt Peet. But can Willie Peters' Robins cause an upset for the ages to become only the fifth club to be crowned champions? BBC Sport takes a look at how things are set up for a scintillating match-up. Peet's list of achievements in less than three seasons in charge of Wigan is not so much a roll call of trophies as it is a stacked silverware cabinet. Within months of his arrival in 2022 he led them to the Challenge Cup with victory against Huddersfield and followed that up with the double whammy of the League Leaders' Shield and Grand Final glory in 2023. In 2024, however, Peet's side have turned into the juggernauts of the division. No side in the Super League era has won the quadruple of the World Club Challenge, Challenge Cup, League Leaders' Shield and Super League Grand Final - but Wigan are just 80 minutes away from achieving that feat and writing themselves into the record books. "I don't feel any different to be honest," Peet told BBC Radio Manchester when asked if anything has changed given what is at stake. "The opportunity is there now and we have to concentrate on playing well and if we do, and we get the win, then we can start talking about it. "But if we don't then it will be irrelevant." please log in to view this image IMAGE SOURCE, SWPIX Image caption, Wigan Warriors boss Matt Peet has won the Challenge Cup and League Leaders' Shield twice as well as the World Club Challenge and Super League title 'I know what the expectation is' Wigan and Hull KR have met three times already in 2024 - twice in Super League with, each side earning a win, while Warriors recorded a thumping victory in the Challenge Cup semi-final in May. Their most recent match-up came at the tail-end of a bruising season in September as Wigan edged out the Robins to take top spot, and a giant leap towards their eventual League Leaders' Shield triumph. There is plenty of respect from the Wigan camp for Saturday's opponents as they brace for a fourth meeting this year. "They're an outstanding team. What they've built as an organisation in recent years means they're going to be competing for a long time to come," Peet continued. "We know as a team when we play against good teams and one of our toughest games in recent years was against Hull KR. We've won some but they've won some as well so we're evenly matched." With so much at stake, and with his side on the cusp of becoming timeless greats, Peet is unnerved. "I feel like there was pressure on me when I got the job. Everyone was asking me 'what's your background?' and what you are going to do?" he added. "When you win one [Grand Final] people ask you if you're pressured to win two. I don't think it changes that much in a job like this because there's an expectation around the role but I'm from Wigan, I've worked in Wigan's academy and I know what the expectation of the club is."
