Do we have an idea of how many tickets we've sold/ Wigan have sold so far?

I know I havent bought mine and a few mates(10) yet, will probably wait until Thursday, had a drive up to the ticket office last night on the off chance but it was closed. Hope we've sold a few, no real reason for me asking, just want to know.

I believe two hundred Leigh tickets were sold Monday .

Thanks. Would hope that we have sold maybe 6 or 700 by now then, few more hundred tomorrow, same on Thursday would make a 1000, then a bit of momentum and 500+paying on the door on Friday, fear its going to be nowhere near as many as I first hoped. Doesn't feel like the crowd will be more than last years Leeds game which would be a shame.

Jimmy it will be like Leigh v Leeds in 1971 for atmosphere , electric , plenty pies sold . .

300 sold as at noon. Wigan sent 2000.

To be fair, many people who are unable to get down to the LSV during the weekly opening hours will now be intending to just pay on the gate. (Myself included)

Thanks. Nowhere near as many as I thought, quite shocked at that.



Hopefully everybody else will think the same, only just read that the ticket office wont be opeing late any night of the week. Absolutely unbelievable. I honestly wonder if we do it on purpose sometimes.

To be fair 300 is after one and a half days and is already passed our normal following.

Come on Leythers! Cheer up! Can we just be a bit more positive and enjoy the day?

When the feet move very slowly the shotgun rarely misses, I have heard a rumour of a transcript that I am told was the minutes of a recent meeting somewhere.

'We've drawn't Wiggin int cup'
'Great that'll sort banks aat'
'How much can we fleece our lot for?'
'Its not up to us, them Wigginners have to agree'
'Shheet'
'Can we have a double header, Rose bridge under 4's are having a curtain raiser with Judes?'
'bigger draw than Swinetown Wolves'
'Ya cant call em that now we are Leyth Worriers'
' Wiggin are back on they don't agree with our £40 a ticket and want to make it £5 for all'
'Tell em to do one, I'll have a word wi Laird Smith'
'Reet now this discount if bought early for season tickets, if we don't open the office they will all have to pay £16'
'But what about kids'
'Sod em its a tenner or nowt, so tenner it is'

Now I don't believe a word of it mind

and if anybody is really short of a few butties it is a wind up

My guess will be 800 sold at club and 800 on the night, down by about 500

Down on what?

I cant wait for the game, buying extra tickets and forcing them onto relatives that don't normally go, being realistic though, we've sold 300 tickets since the draw was made over 8 days ago. It isn't good enough, I've every faith that the Leythers will still travel in numbers, just feel that if we were saying a 1000 tickets had been sold, then the momentum would have already started to pick up.

The only people stopping the momentum is ourselves.

The delay in announcing the pricing and day of the game was last weeks news, get over it. No one knows who's fault it was that it took so long, but people have managed to point the blame at our own club.

I have these things called mates. And we easily sorted out one of us going down to the ticket office and buying everyone elses tickets. It's not rocket science.
