Where did you get that att figure from Marshy?

BBC report on tinternet

Friday is a no no if you live in Yorkshire, Friday nights are a big mistake.

Looked at least 7,500 there in my opinion. North and south stands 3/4 full and good numbers in the east and west.

Lots of 'new' fans there tonight experiencing the stadium for the first time. With the performance on the pitch and the (lack of) organisation around the car park and problem with 'shuttle' buses getting to the stadium how many will return?

Those people who claimed on this forum the traffic wouldnt be a problem in the surrounding area before the game have to admit that for any big games we have a serious problem. Will be the same again in 2 weeks with a healthy Wigan following expected.

If you want to capitalise on away fans interest in your new stadium this year you must stop playing on Friday nights. Surely you would double your away following on a Sunday?

They say that playing on Fridays is non negotiable because of Corporates.
I understand that.
But at what cost??
The ground is tremendous,we're seeing some good stuff on the pitch but the overall experience is bad,because of the stadium logistics.
Would be far better on Sundays.

Up 71% from corresponding game last year which was on a Friday in July.

I thought that there were more in attendance than was quoted based off my previous games with recorded attendances of just over 5000.

This was the view from my spot behind the sticks during the game. How many can you get in the away stand by the way and how many would you say were in? 1,000 or so?

Got to the willows at 7.00pm shuttle bus was full, waited till 7.45Pm for the next one to turn up, meanwhile quite a few people gave up and went home,
we missed 10 minutes of the game. There is a serous problem at the motorway round about. The sooner Peel start Port Salford and put the new slip roads to the motorway in and ease the congestion. I also feel Salford need to try a Sunday fixture

2,500. You had about 2k there give or take.

Six of us went into the ground with our season tickets and the man just looked at them, never scanned them so we cant of been coubnted in the attendence.

Not too bad then. I knew there was no room to move where we were but wasnt sure on the corners

I am extremely grateful for the shuttle bus from the Willows however knowing that there was going to be a big crowd for last nights match & from previous experience of the travelling situation I got to the Willows at 6.15pm & the bus left at 6.30. As usual all went well until we reached Patricroft Bridge & then it was just crawling from there finally reaching the ground at 7.30pm. Obviously cars & public transport were equally delayed as getting through the roundabout at the motorway junction is absolutely horrific.
The only solution to this is if temporary traffic lights were erected on the roundabout to ease the situation if that is possible.
The result of the match didn't help the Reds fans getting away from the ground either although most had done the Wigan Walk at least 20mins before the end & who could blame them.
I must say that there is no problem leaving the ground on the shuttle bus as they are given prioroty over the cars from the car park.

I was working on the turnstiles last night, your season tickets would not scan on the scanners, but it is the counter on the turnstile as you walk through that is counted, not what the scanner counts, so you were in the attendance.

Crowd was disappointing, don't think we'll ever draw them in whether it be Friday or Sunday does my head in it's a massive shame really doubt 'the new stadium affect' will ever work for us.
