Not in our stand

IF we fill the stand we have been given (East I think) they will open the West.

I was planning on paying on the door unless we nearly sell out.

yeh i think i will go to this , should be a decent game

Wouldn't advise that mate as there is certainly no guarantee the West will be opened and as such you might end up with the Smogs.

Usual ten Jayne, we'll be in the bowling club by 5:30, will your dad be in attendance?

Tickets arrived today.

Are we behind the sticks at the usual end? (I know we're in the East, but no idea which that is)

It's the 'new' stand behind the sticks, opposite the scoreboard end (no idea why I still refer to it as the 'new' stand as it's been open for 5 years!)

I know what you mean. There's a 'new' Wainhomes estate behind my parents in Goose Green. It was opened by Pat Phoenix and she died in 1986.

Ah.

It must be a 'new' estate if you can not only remember the developer, but still use their name in reference to the site

Similar thing in Atherleigh with the 'Maunders estate'

ill go for 5,455 with 2,000 wigan fans

Ah, but we've got history, see...coaches still pick up outside the "old gas showrooms"!

Give us some credit.

We can get 3 thousand odd with no away fans in the league. This will likely be a lot more than that.

3 of us.

Let's not forget that the early Challenge Cup rounds tends not to attract the normal amount of home fans. We have an average of nearly 15K at the moment but had we been drawn at home for this game I would suggest the crowd being around the 6K mark (if that), the same can be said for other clubs throughout the game.

Guys! Very excited about the game! Big RL fan! You should also check out www.challengecuptickets.co.uk for getting a guaranteed ticket to the final! You pay a small booking fee and then when Wigan get through to the final you get a ticket at face value! Worth a look - no? Todd

Is Leyther Matt the new spokesman for the Stobart Stadium?

The other stands won't be sold out, I'd imagine the main stand (South) will be full with the North almost full, you'll fill the East with the West probably remaining shut. We got 3,500 for the Fev game Friday night and Fev brought about 200 at best, I'd like to think a few more will come with it being against SL opposition. 6.5 - 7k would be a decent crowd in a game that will be pretty one sided looking at the cap difference and our injury list.

With a full squad I'd have been confident of at least a competitive first half, with you guys running away with it in the second.

I'd rather wait until we know whether or not we're in the final, then buy a ticket from the Wigan Ticket Office, at face value, to be sat with the rest of the Wigan fans. This might be a good idea for other events, but I'm sorry - I just fail to see the point for the CC Final. Plus, if we DON'T make the final, then the only person to gain from it is Todd, as only the fans of the 2 finalists get the tickets. The rest lose their "deposit" as I understand it from the FAQ's.

Hi Yes dad will be in attendance but we normally go in the social club before the game and the beer is cheaper in there aswell. dad said you should go in there not the bowler.

What'd be everyone's team for Saturday?

I'd personally go with:

Phelps
Marsh
Goulding
Carmont
Pryce
S Tomkins
Leuluai
Fielden
McIlorum
Coley
J Tomkins
Farrel
O'Loughlin

O'Carrol
Mossop
Piggy
Feka

I wouldn't rush Gleeson back as an extra week of rest won't do him any harm, and I also wouldn't play Pat so he can rest the injury he sustained against Huddersfield. Although I expect Madge will play a very similar team to last week's, and will probably include both Gleeson and Pat.

Crickerters pub is a dive.I would recommend the albion, or the crown pub near the station.Social club is cheaper beer but will get packed.Anyway hope a few of you pie eaters can socialise with us.Miss playing Wigan regular.

I just know what I'm on about, AJ





Fev took easily 400 (plus 5 Leythers) I reckon as well
