Frank , go to bed, get some rest, you have another busy day next Saturday.Charlie knows.Seriously Frank take it easy.

Oh ok

This is a remarkable gesture from Derek (and a canny marketing ploy too) and I hope the LSV is absolutely rocking at the weekend. Those Leythers who have never been to a game don't know what they're missing and I hope all the Bents and Bongers become Leythers too - cos why on earth would they want to be Wigan fans?

I think that you'll find that many of them always have been, Mish!

Don't travel to LSV this morning for tickets .... people queueing to be turned away .... no plan in place & staff been told NOT to issue any tickets.

They'll need a plan quickly, or will be a waste of time. Would've thought the main issue for ticket office is how many tickets can be issued per person. Then a question of what happens with online / phone orders etc...

Seriously ? I thought it was all anounced officially last night. Surely that suggests plans have been laid down.

Turning people away now who want to watch the team free or otherwise is not good from a PR perspective.

What is the issue?

All tickets should state compulsory Red and white dress code.

Great gesture from Derek, we’re having a party and all invited.

Our Town
Our Team
Our Dream

The Ticket Office isn't set up to issue free tickets yet.

Have to say, it's a bit of a cock up to not be able to issue tickets straight away off the back of the coverage the offer got. Hopefully they'll be ready this afternoon / tomorrow morning.

I was 3rd in queue, about 20 behind me & cars turning up all the time.
Ticket office staff had been in a meeting, hadn't even heard about it until late last night & stated no plan in place.

At least 2 of us couldn't get back to LSV again today due to work, the concern is that we might not get in the North Stand. You can't even buy a ticket for this game now & over 200 already have (refunds probably).

Still, it is a great idea to try & gain more fans if the new attendees enjoy the occasion & return, just poorly or even not planned.

Bought my Leeds ticket while I was there so not a complete waste of time.

Hopefully it’ll get sorted sooner than later, I’d doubt that the ticket office is the main concern I’d guess it’ll be a variety of other LSV issues

Will it have to be reserved seating?

Do LSV have the man power to open all sides/bars at relatively short notice?

Will enough stewards be available?

What about tickets already sold?

It’s a great idea by DB but I bet the LSV staff thought “Oh Sh!t!”

It's not a cock up. It's a great piece of thinking. They will be ready for tomorrow or Wednesday but I bet the ticket office staff are dreading it.
