Tonights crowd was superb.

Yes, I know that Wigan made some sort of deal with Heinz for the North Stand, but we were up over 3500 on this fixture compared to last year.

The club should be applauded for it

were there ANY Quins fans there? Seriously i usually see a group of about 10 in the north end of the east stand but couldnt see any today

I saw 2 before kick off

It made for a much better atmosphere so fair play to the club and to Heinz.

I'd give the North stand to under privilaged kids or something like that next week. It's good PR for the club and a better atmosphere brings better preformences out of the players imo.

Came on a bike this year?

Some fella in the Halfway House in Pem gave me two tickets for the north stand and thought that, despite the lack of atmosphere' it was a fun experience to watch the game from a different angle. Also there was far more than 14,900 on tonight. I'd say around 17k,

Just give 5500 free tickets away in schools like latics do for pretty much every game.

i thought it was a great crowd well done!

We had 50 kids from Belarus sat at back of us.....................never stoped kicking my fooking chair the little sh*tes!

Rather have Norley Hallers sat near me.

Thats all we saw as well after the game.

With my binoculars

, from my seat in the prawn sandwich and Pimms stand, I spotted 17.

Made sure I looked over when they scored

It was a good move the Heinz deal. Made it feel more of a game than it would have done with an empty stand. Hope it's repeated.

yes 5 in total , i had the irratating with red hair singong OLLI OLLI OLLI HARLIQUINS DOWN MY EAR , but he did make me laugh when he was singing there s only 1 sam tomkins

Exactly, it was a little strange with all 4 sides being Wigan fans but was a very enjoyable experience.

Well done to all concerned.

We should do things like this more often, a bigger crowd always makes games more enjoyable.

Taxi for Harlequins !!!

Oh, wait.

There was not many of them but I respect the ones who travel as they have to do it every other week. We just do it 3 times a season for big trips.

Yeah but it's still crap.
We're talking about a team in a city with a population of over 8 million.
To bring half a dozen speccies is woeful.

Don't forget every Quinns away trip is a 450 mile round trip for their fans.

How do you do that on a Friday night?

A great initiative by the club. They all seemed to enjoy it waving their baked bean tin try/no try cards as well!

Dave

I thought they'd be giving them out to the whole crowd today when i read about it but obviously not.

Wanted one aswell.............gutted

It certainly put a couple of thousand on the attendance tonight, the Heinz celebration. I was surprised by how many had actually taken up the offer. I think we should be looking into doing something similar for every match at home Vs Harlequins, Catalans & Celtic.

Well we did a coach journey to a Wigan Friday Game at Griffin Park back in 2003. We set off at 11:30am and got there at only 7:30pm. Not a nice journey!

Meanwhile a pathetic 4,808 at The Willows. That is dire!

What happened to the traveling hordes from St Helens ?
