We normally sell out the away end at the HJ but last year we didn't, if that means Warrington want to hold back tickets as they think the home fans will buy them, then fairplay to them!

Personally I think it would be best to give us the full stand and put all tickets on sale to both wigan season tickets holders and none season ticket holders. Sell as many as we can and then give the remaining tickets back to wire.

As people have said though, people who want to go, will go.

As for wire fans having a dig at Wigans following last year.

you only brought around 1,000 the week after you got to the challenge cup final!

Just been down to stadium for mine x 3.
3 in queue for us, 1 in queue for the latics.

This makes us 3 times as popular.

It costs abit to get to Landon you know we was saving money (Well I wasn't I was there rubbing it in)

I think this is a good post. Wigan fans have a mentality of leaving things to the last minute and then complaining when they cant get in. I agree that Wire can do what they want with their tickets, i just thought maybe they should of sent us a few more. We take 1800 to the likes of Wakey, Cas, Salford etc. so im pretty sure we'll have more than that at Wire. Anyway, sorry for sparking this pretty pointless debate, as you said if anyone wants to go the game they can go!!

Not to worried about the ticket allocation but having had a look at the official wigan web site am surprised that tickets go on general sale on sat at 10 am when we have a home game the night before. would think that if they went on general sale on friday night anyone going to the Hull Kr game who is not a season ticket holder could buy them after the match. If any season ticket holders have not bought by then then it will be their own fault as they will have had all week. Unfortunately this wil be a sky plus game for me as I do not finish work in Chester untill 6!

As usual will be buying from the Warrington shop. Two minutes walk from my office, no fuss and no worrying. I did this when I had a ST too... simples.

Only 5k Pie fans then

Well it is Hull KR

I made no reference whatsoever to whether Wigan could sell out the West Stand. Why do you need me to answer an obvious question, you aren't stupid (are you?). My involvement in this discussion was around you stating that we should have given yuou 3k tickets,just in case you may sell them.

The quote you highlight from Slim was actually right, surely you could do better, although from reading your posts, I suspect you actually can't!

Dave, let me just get some crossed wires (Forgive the Pun) straightened here.

MY 1 & only point in all of this was aimed at SLIM, not you or anyone else.

SLIM came on here and said " "yeh, right, i stand in the west stand every home match, last year you couldn't fill it, and this year you probably won't! some realism is required here me thinks! "



Now I see that as slightly inflamatory especially with the

at the end.

I was simply pointing out that it is impossible for Wigan to seel out the West Stand as the very same tickets go on sale to the Wire fans before they go on general sale at Wigan.
Nothing more, nothing less.

Now then, if I have misinterpreted the Jest of his comment,I apologise.

However the 2 x replies from SLIM confirms my 1st impression, he had no intention of coming on here without having a Dig at Wigan Fans Hence the

""yeh, right, i stand in the west stand every home match, last year you couldn't fill it, and this year you probably won't! some realism is required here me thinks! "

"

And as soon as someone pointed out that it is impossible for us to sell the out the stand if we aren't actually given all the tickets in the 1st place there are 2 x replies from SLIM with at least 1/2 dozen insults thrown in!

Dave, your responses were spot on and at no point did I disagree, I only asked was I right in saying that it is impossible for us to sell out a full allocation of a stand when we aren't given ALL of that allocation in the 1st place.

It was someone else (Nogga) who said they shouldn't be selling them to Wire fans just yet, I was respponding to a Barbed comment from SLIM that we Never,Will probably ever etc etc by pointing out that unless we are given then we'll never know?

With regards to the 500-600 Wire fans attending the JJB then I know that isn't true, but someone bit hook line & Sinker.
That is exactly what I was trying to do by pointing out that if someone (Not You) comes on Having a sly little dig & they aren't right in what they're saying they'e going to get a bit back.

Now Dave, as for the stupid remark, I'll ignore it as I believe were at cross purposes here.
I have read countless posts of yours on both sites and the vast majority have been Spot on as far as I have seen in the past.

That's why when You asked me the question I tried to reply back with a concise explanation of why IMHO believe SLIM was wrong with his original comments.
I totally agree that we shouldn't be given all the tickets, but then don't come on having a go at us for not selling it out? Do you agree?

Think that's a mistake on there as the ticket office isn't even open this Saturday. General sale is on Monday.

I've never known an away game to go on general sale on a home matchday by the way, busy enough with that night's game without that being thrown in to the mix as well.

Give over. Selling tickets??

Tha wants get a proper job mon....!!

"All these turning up to buy a ticket for an AWAY game?! I might end up missing the kick off after turning at 7.59pm expecting to pick a ticket up straight away for the half-way line, halfway up and on the end of the row for tonight's game! Bloody rubbish Wigan! Mathers out"

How very true

Got my ticket this morning! wohooo

i've 2 kept for me as i only fly in on game day.

Attend: 12,429

One of these days the hubris of you lot is really going to land you in it ...

OMG we must be bloody good now if people are only takin the píss because of our attendances,

12,429 and HKR brought a maximum of 1,000. That leaves 11,429 Wiganers.I admit I expected more but you lot (Wire) only had 11,000 ish in total last week. Admittedly it was only against Quins but it was the first game of the season and wasn't on the television whereas our game was. Your criticism of our crowd doesn't really stand up. You really must improve your attempts at trolling.

Warrington crowd was 11,678 with about 50 away fans, work that out genius......and anyway my dad is much bigger than yours.

Wigan get bigger crowds than wire, FACT. So do Leeds and Hull. I DO NOT care and anybody who does needs to get a grip.

Calm down calm down

There was never 1000 Hull KR fans tonight, not even close

Agreed.

If they'd have all budged up they wouldn't have come close to filling one block of the North stand.

I'd guess about 600.

Just over 900 in the North Stand last night.
