That is very true. my point was more about sitting in the north and then being asked for the ticket if I go for a whizz at halftime, or a cuppa or a beer. But anyway. It's all academic.

Hopefully a sell out

It won't be a sell out, Wigan only bring about 3,000 usually.

That's only 800 short of the full east stand. We can cover the rest. Realistically at the pie dome. Wigan take more than 18000 for their derby game, so we should be looking to do the same for oour own

It wont be far off full, i'd guess around 17k +

It will be a sell out.

You can walk from the south stand all the way around back to the south stand along the concourses. There is a section in the south stand that is blocked off by buildings so you have to walk on to the concrete pathway beside the pitch for that bit.

I only know this because I went along to the pre-opening tester training night when we were allowed to wander pretty much everywhere and I walked the full length of the concourse.

I'm relying on a Good Friend of mine to get me a ticket. Everyone of our mates is catered for.....

28 Allocated tickets left for Good Friday on the website. They have done well to shift all those single tickets. . No idea on unallocated tickets.

A lot of the Goons are planning on buying tickets for sitting areas and walking past the stewards into the standing section.

Have they sold out the east stand. If not what's the point in buying a more expensive ticket?

They can't until Monday when they go on general sale. The Goon tickets are reserved for members of Club Goon currently. The Goons that aren't Club Goon subscribers have been buying them direct from Saints website.

It'll be amusing to see a fair few Wiganers on their own dotted amongst thousands of saints fans after being refused entry to the East stand then.

@Saints1890: Good Friday Derby is now SOLD OUT!

@Saints1890: Just to clarify the tickets are sold out in the home areas, the away club continue to sell their allocation

Thought Wigan fans were ancient and loyal? Catch up boys.

Hoping for a decent atmosphere for this one, whatever the attendance ends up as. As someone who stands at the back of the West Stand, when our end is 'sold out' it doesn't actually appear sold out, but there you go.
