Maybe Wigan fans should be offered a segregated strip of the north stand, not because there would be issues with mixing fans, but to not distort the atmosphere for either sets of fans.

That's assuming everyone is correct and wire haven't sold out. It's a shame other clubs are not as open and accessible to fans as ours is

Impossible to segregate beneath the stand, would be loads of trouble,

Not really sure what your last line means, but no we haven't sold out, and anybody who thought we would have with 4 days to go is off their head.

I think he just means we are not really sure how many Wire have sold.

Does anyone know if Wire can pay on the day if they dont sell out?

It was the line about [i'It's a shame other clubs are not as open and accessible to fans as ours is'[/i. I genuinely don't know the point he is trying to make.

I think it would depend how many tickets were left on Friday as to whether you could pay on the day. In any instance you would have to purchase tickets from the office, so I expect you could until they are all sold out.

I am getting a bit bored of the wire bashing now over attendances. If any fan of either wigan or wire isn't at the game, then IMO its their loss. I have my ticket and can't wait.. It should be a blinder..

COME ON WIGAN!

Lets just sell our tickets but I thought Wire would have taken advantage of the free pie and a pint with every ticket.

Hey, where was this mentioned, I'd have come down from Edinburgh for that!!!!

Looks like a certain sell-out in the Wigan end then and you would think wire would shift the rest of their tickets, probably around 2,000. The shifted that many or maybe more leading up to the saints game.

Yeah not very good advertising that by both clubs. I bet a lot more would have bought tickets early.

Is this true about pies?

You are definitely a Wiganer!

You bet your big fat A I am.....

mmmm pies

Free Pie & a Pint in the Wigan Stands Only, The Wolfs Fans don't get the offer!

I remember the days when Latics used to give the entire East Stand to away fans. I once went when they played Sunderland(i think) and they had brought 8,000 with them! was pretty unbelievable to see!

IIRC - They did the same with City.

Not sure what he meant by that but on a similar note I find it strange that when the tickets for the game at the HJ went on sale earlier in the season, Wire were selling tickets for the So called "Away" end to the Wolfs fans at the same time if not earlier than when they were passed onto Wigan.

Next thing we had was SLIMply the Blah Blah Blah on giving us stick that we'd only sold 2500k (Or whatever it was) and we couldn't get it through to him that we could only sell out what we were given?
Plenty Wigan fans then bought tickets from Wire for what would normally be classed as their traditional ends and we end up with Mixed fnas in the "Away" end leading to a bit of Agro etc.

"If" Wigan sold out their 3 ends by Wed a.m ((As MAtt has predicted) do you think we should ask for whatever Wire had not sold by then so we could sell them to Wigan fans?
Now personally I couldn't give a monkey's ar5e but it is a bit annoying when previous we've had a couple (And bear in mind I didn't say "ALL" Wire Fans!

) trying to give it the Big un over Ticket Sales!

The East was the away end for a few years until we got into the PL.

Correct, They only changed the "Away" stand to the North Stand once they got into the Prem.

Previous to that it was always the East Stand that was the Away Stand.

PS

That's because I was at the City game mentioned above in the City "End"

No it wasn't cos it weren't open for two seasons

You don't need to remind me about some of the childish crap that is posted in the build up to these games - this is the only thread I am bothering with on here, and I rarely bother with the Wire board at the best of times, never mind in the build up to a Wigan game!

In terms of the tickets for the away end, it is up to the home club, for the past couple of years the travelling support has dropped at most grounds for obvious reasons, and whereas in the past it could be relied on Wigan and Saints fans selling the full 3.5k in the West Stand, that can't always be guaranteed at the moment, so if they can sell tickets to the home fans then I have no issues with that (although stewarding needs to be strong).

Last season Wigan brought a low following to Warrington and I would suspect that was the reasoning behind giving Wigan the 2.5k this year. Had they sold them a week in advance, I don't doubt they would have been given more. None of that is a criticism by the way, 2.5k is still a great following, and especially in the current climate.

Unfortunately some people will take any opportunity to criticise their rivals, without realising that they are making themselves look stupid!
