Not according to the BBC link
Tickets are still available for Sunday's semi-final between Manchester City and Chelsea, although that match is expected to sell out in the next 24 hours.

They are there because Dave Whelan's money got them there but Dave Whelan cannot buy fans.Cheadle_hulmeBlue said:Skashion said:They're not a real Premier League club so they don't have the fanbase to match.

My Youngest's Fella supports Wigan.
Crowd average 19K take off 3K for away fans - selling over 20K isn't bad.

I have a lot of respect for Wigan fans in a town dominated by Liverpool and United supporters with lots of rugby interest. At least they support their local club and can hardly be accused of being glory-hunters. If they have sold 20,000 that's equivalent to us selling 47,000 (average gate). In the middle of a recession that's an achievement.

I have no problem with Wigan's following. Traditionally it's egg-chasing territory, so it's hard for the football club to compete with that. Also, I have a lot of time for their manager, who seems like a ''bloody good bloke, actually'' (© Tim nice but dim) and, unlike Stoke, they try to play football rather than hoofball. The chairman is a **** though!
