I know - I'm stuck in East Stand

Good stuff

My first visit to Le Stade de Dave Whelan. Can't wait, hope it's better than the Tescodome or that souless JJB stadium they used to infest.

Are we in for a shock tomorrow? Looking at their lineup on paper today and it doesn't look too shabby, particularly the backs. I've not seen them play this season so far that I can remember so its hard to judge.

You will be if that's when you're going.

Just hope everyone turns up now.

Lets hope the Wigan fans turn out in large numbers too - nothing like a derby match at the Pie dome in front of 23k+.

Why, do we have a habit of buying tickets and not turning up?

I had no doubts that the armchair fans would be out in force for this one.

Well, you snooze - you lose, monkey....

Is it really sold out.

I went to the stadium yesterdy to get an away top and they said to somebody that there was plenty left.

The stand has sold out before and there has still been plenty of seats to the left hand side of the sticks empty.

Just cause it sells out doesnt mean that everyone turns up. Try sitting n the left hand side of the stand rather than the scramble for seats down the middle next time and then you will see what im on about.

Because there is unreserved seating they are only allowed to sell 90% (I think) of the seats. It's probably more to do with that than with people not turning up.
