Free for all in the away end full of home supporters so we can't sit together !!! I can see the where are the Huddersfield fans jibes on Sky !!! This is nothing short of disgraceful !!! Shame on you Wigan !!!

behave , if wigan can sell more tickets to generate more revenue good luck to them , at the HJ stadium we too have home support in the west terrace , i can imagine it happens a lot at the bigger supported clubs , i have no issue mixing with fans

I can't think why. I mean surely Wigan must have known about your legendary away support?

If you wanted to sit in the north stand you should of bought a ticket for there. If you bought the £8 groupon tickets then you sit where you are told which happened to be the area you bought your tickets for.

But we didn't sit where we were told to because as expected people didn't sit in their allocated seats in the east stand which caused arguments so all the giants fans who wanted to got moved to the north stand-
So shame on them either way!

I feel Wigan owe you an apology .... how dare their fans turn up in big numbers resulting in the normally empty away end (for Huddersfield games) being used by home fans.

Good performance by Huddersfield by the way ... best team won

Yep shame on us. How dare we try and promote a game, do a good job to get over 19,000 into the ground and expect people to sit in a stand in allocated seats which they have knowingly purchased. Absolutely Disgusting!!!!

No problem with the Wigan fans, was in the North stand and there was a good mix, some great banter, and we witnessed at close quarters the Wigan walk.

it was a farce tonight. told we could sit anywhere in the east till some wigan fans decided to be awkward so the stewards had to move us all

Give over, you hardly have any fans so we put a promotion on to boost the numbers. Shame indeed

Message to the op. dies that mean you won't be stood on the popular side complaining about home supporters at Odsal?

I dont agree with the OP.

I thought the stewards were excellent.

As our tickets did not arrive we had to go and pick them up so got there early ( then there was no queue so we got into the ground about 50 minutes early.
Went to our seats and the steward came and talked to us for about 15 minutes and could not have been friendlier.

A bit later on a large group of Gaints fans were sat together but had to sit in different seats as their seats had been taken by Wigan fans.

Then 10 minutes into the game 2 Wigan fans turned up and wanted to sit in their seats which had the Giants fans in. The Giants fans all moved down and left two seats at the end of the row for the Wigan fans who refused those seats and demanded the stewards move all the Giants fans so they could sit in the middle of the row.

Two stewards had a chat and rather than upset all the fans and have dozens of people having to move seats agreed to let the Giants fans into the North stand.


They dealt with it quickly, professionally and without any trouble.

Hats of to them for being so good and accommodating.

I do think the problem could have been avoided though.
If fans knew that the group on vouchers were for alloctaed seats they might not have got them and they could have at least expected some Giants fans to buy them so they could put them together.


Anyway congratulations on Wigans PR and Marketing team for getting a great turn out to the game. Is that the biggest crowd of the SL season.

agree to a point there DG, the stewards were friendly enough with us, and were happy to chat with us.
once inside the ground,i went looking for my allocated seat,as did many other fartowners only to be told that we could all sit together in the next block which we did.
shortly before kick off though some wigan fans turned up and found giants fans sat in their allocated seats, when we said that we were told to sit where we wanted,the wigan fans got stroppy and started creating a scene,demanding that the stewards remove the giants fans, when the stewards said the wigan fans could sit where they wanted they refused and said they had bought these seats so were insisting on sitting in them.
it was 4/5 minutes later when the head steward said we could all move over into the north,which then created further problems as the giants fans wanted to be with their own fans but there was no spare seats.

it was a bit farcical in all honesty, the wigan club knowingly sold tickets to giants fans for the east stand, but I think they panicked when wigan fans started creating a scene, I don't think wigan fans in the east stand were all that happy that we were there.
if they knew that giants fans were buying tickets through groupon then they could have reserved an area for us.
as it was we were moved to the north stand anyway so all rather embarrassing.

as for the queues in the concourse!!!!

Queues and crowds at a RL game. What is going on! Now that you on the verge of trophy success this is a problem that you might have to start getting used to.
