Attendance for Wigan (LC)

[dawlish dave]

Wigan will probably bring about 300.

So with that in mind and our fans, i'll go for 28,580.

As soon as the draw came out, i know at least 20 people and myself included who all said the same thing...

'' i wish it was away instead''.

Spot on re Wigan. I was at the EDS game last night and was speaking to the bloke in charge of stewarding. Wigan have sold 300 and he reckons they are looking at 25k.

After Sunday predict fair number of walk ups and a crowd of 30k plus.

But we don't make it easy for "walk ups" do we?
This problem was identified before we left Maine Road and was going to be significantly worse after the move as none of the turnstiles had cash/card facilities.
Obviously fans can book on line but I expect big queues at the ticket office.

My sentiments too.

How about everyone who goes to Wigan at home being guaranteed a final ticket when we return to Wembley. I know the vast majority going tomorrow will be on the Cupmschemes anyway.

I'll take that offer any day mate. Can't wait for it personally

Yes if you are prepared to fork out a huge sum of fifteen pounds you deserve at least one final ticket. I have just made the 460 mile round trip (80 petrol cost) at weekend to watch us and will be taking time off for all midweek league and Euro games but would never consider I deserve a ticket over the guy who splashes out 15 quid for a Wigan ticket regardless of previous attendance.

.

Not sure if you're serious or not mate but my post was tongue in cheek ( check my location). As for travelling 460 miles round trip, I just travelled three and a half thousand miles one way for the derby. I won't bore you with the cost of that trip though. Enjoy the match tonight, I know I will.

Someone reported queuing for half an hour today so there must be some walk-up today. Unless the ticket office take 10 minutes per customer. :)

I always feel a bit of a twat for a multitude of reasons :-) My response was to Tim of the Oak though as the rest of the thread highlights. Great commitment from Barcon though. Full respect and I sent a pm earlier explaining and telling him so.
