i remember it being unreserved though last time so not sure what has changed.

I think that was part of the problem Daz- tickets had seats allocated but was actually unreserved, caused a few arguments I seem to remember as people couldn't sit together.

When it comes to the Away end they probably just allocate seat numbers for the sake of sales purposes,The north and south are unreserved but the east and west are allocated seats. Might not suit everyone but that's just the way it is. I've taken up the groupon deal too but left it late to book so got seats on the back row. I'll be honest I didn't actually know both sets of fans where being put in the same blocks as I probably wouldn't have booked it otherwise. Not that I'm saying you are trouble makers or anything, It just isn't the same atmosphere when you are mixed and it only takes one idiot..

It looks like those blocks are sold out aswell now so hopefully everyone will just sit in their allocated seats and not cause bother over it.
See you all on Friday!

robbo, they haven't put anyone anywhere, the groupon offer was available to anyone as far as I could see, even though probably aimed more at wigan supporters but who can blame Huddersfield fans for taking up this offer?

im sure there wont be any problems,but if the wigan club suspect that problems might arise then im sure there will be enough empty seats to offer giants fans the chance to go in the north stand.

Thats not what I'm saying, I don't blame Hudds fans at all for taking the offer up, Infact I think it's only fair that the groupon offer is open to both sets of fans. Just personally I don't like being mixed and a bit of foresight from the club could have made it a bit better for everyone and would save all the Huddersfield fans being split across 2 stands when the north probably wont be anywhere near full.

agree with the last bit but don't understand why you don't like been in a mixed stand?
that's how it should be in RL.

I just don't want to have "fartown" yelled down my lughole for 80 minutes Only joking, Just because of some thing's I've seen in the past, Off course the probability is nothing will happen and I know Hudds aren't that type of club. But in what could be seen as one of the biggest games of the league this season emotions will be running high and it only takes one idiot to say/do something to ruin it.

then that's where the stewards will have to do their jobs
and also other fans to police themselves, it isn't football mate and yes you get the odd idiot but knowing our supporters,if one person steps out of line they will be pulled up over it.

no problem being in a mixed stand but it is nice to know you can move if you want to.
If you are with decent fans to enjoy the game it is fine but Being stuck with 6 drunk scrotes at the side of you might be too much

maybe in hindsight when it became obvious lots of Fartowners were buying these tickets Wigan could have allocated a block to each set of fans?.

Sounds a bit of a fiasco. You pays your money you makes your choice as they say

There was a similar situation when Crusaders played their last SL game, then the away end was Heinz and Group On and the Cru fans were officially where the Group On Tickets are for the game on Friday. Even the Crusaders fans who ended up in the "away end" were not allowed to move to where the bulk of the away support was.

so let me get this straight,
blocks 1 & 2 in the east stand will be a mix of wigan and Huddersfield fans?
the north stand will be a mix of wigan and Huddersfield fans?

The North Stand is the designated away stand.
