Have you read my other posts on the matter? That was one incident, I don't see that it has happened again since, these things happen.

Wigan fans even have a go at our small stadium, so small they can't fill it v Saints in a semi, i too would rather have a small lego stadium that is in our own ownership than a rented DFS, aka Dave's Football Stadium.

Hiring the stadium puts money in Wires pocket whereas at Wigan it helps Dave fund Man Utd's easy 6 points a season.

Great landlord Dave Whelan? www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/rugbyl ... eague.html If these things happen who else has it happened to recently? I don't remember it ever happening to Wigan at Central Park.

I'm not sure if you are on a wind up (doubt it seeing as you're a Mod ) to get this thread going longer but you know full well the empty seats from the semi-final were ones from St Helens, which they failed to sell.

Wigan Academy were also unable to use the JJB for their final in 2005 and had to travel to the home of their opponents instead - Hull FC.

These things happen though.

Indeed. It's what happens when another sport you share a venue with takes priority and need to use your pitch for a car park.

Indeed. Given the impending lack of safety certificate for the most populous area of the stadium and the cost of upkeep just to get it up to scratch, those £5 a car will come in useful.

It might be worth you finding out the definition of squatter by the way as you currently don't seem to know.

He might have meant "squatting" in another sense....

Coffee Table Thread REDUX!!!!

First its we win by cheating, then its the boo boys for Sam and now its our attendance!!!! Some people just love to have a go at success dont they?
To have a pop at wigans attendance is defo scraping the bottom of the jar for the the last dregs!!!. Wigan aswell as leeds will always have the biggest followers of rugby league in this country. Both teams are the most famous in their counties and both teams have got the most loyal fans. The reason the CC wasnt a sell out was due to marketing which was non existant. The RFL got their dream final and just expected people to turn up instead of trying to sell the game. The fact that both teams have succesful football teams is a credit to their town/city and something other rugby towns are envious of. Silly thread and should be saved for the scousers and dire supporters that only support their team when they're winning.....although the scousers dont get many even when they do win!!!

Our average is 16,124 for this season, the best ever for Wigan since reliable records began.

Keep up the good work Damo!
