4,000 Wakefield Trinity fans heading across the Pennines for historic Super League semi-final clash against Wigan Warriors

The club has confirmed that 4,000 tickets have been sold for the historic match at the Brick Community Stadium, with a convoy of 30 coaches - filled with 1,500 Trin supporters - making their way over the Pennines.

Wakefield, who also finished in their highest Super League position of fourth to end the regular season, beat Leigh Leopards in a play-off eliminator at the DIY Kitchens Stadium last Friday evening and are now just 80 minutes away from an inaugural Grand Final appearance at Old Trafford, as they search for a first top division league title since 1968.

Fans have been informed that coaches one to ten will depart from the DIY Kitchens Stadium with coaches 11 to 30 leaving from Sugar Lane.

Those booked onto the coaches will be able to board from 1.30pm before departing at 2:30pm “on the dot” in time for the 5.30pm kick-off.

Coaches will then depart the Brick Community Stadium 30 minutes after the full time whistle.

Daryl Powell has named a 20-man pre-match squad for the last-four tie, rather than the usual 21. Full-back Josh Rourke (knee) and outside-back Jayden Myers (head) have been recalled to the initial group after injury, but prop Emre Guler is unavailable due to suspension following his straight red card in the eliminator contest win over Leigh Leopards last week.

Powell said: “There won’t be too many changes to the team, really. We’ll put a squad out when we need to and then I’ve got a couple of calls to make on who’s going to slot where.

“There’s some potential options in a couple of different positions, but it’s not going to change too much.”

The Wakefield Express will be live at the Brick Community Stadium and we will have a live blog, video reels, a match report, reaction and photos throughout the evening.

The game will also be shown live on BBC Two.
