| Quote: NickyKiss "I’ve found the whole one-upmanship between Wigan fans and rival fans on social media strange when it comes to this event and events at other clubs. Off the top of my head I know Saints, HKR and now Wigan host concerts and financially it will hopefully be a massive winner. At a time when it feels like the game is on its backside, all should be applauded.'"
I agree. I love the Saints-Wigan banter as much as the next person, however I want our sport to be much stronger overall as well.
I mean how good would it be if we could crow about having 17k average attendances over Saints with 16k. Or with Wire with 15k.
I've seen us win everything many times domestically
But i'd love for GB/England to beat the Aussies in a test series and/or World Cup Final.

| Quote: Mark_P1973 "the Latics fans have very short memories, in fact i bet most werent even fans when the East stand was always for away supporters (prior to the promotion to the PL)
The old guard running the club knew that most clubs in the championship bring good followings and would almost fill the East, so financially it makes sense to have an extra 2k away supporters in that not
in regards to rugby, i've said previously that some cup games shouldnt have had the East open, just West and South as 7k across 3 stands looks bloody awful. At least get the fans there closer together so it can generate a bit of an atmosphere'"
They need fans in the East as the TV cameras are opposite. They need to fill the West with the hospitality boxes so if they shut two stands it would make more sense to close the North and South.

it would depend on the game being on TV or not
but the logic still remains, if we have a home cup tie, and the attendance is only forecast at 7k, then only open 2 stands

Wow. Three times more than, say, Field or French? Well that just says it all, really, doesn't it? ![Shocked icon_eek.gif](images/smilies//icon_eek.gif)

| I'm sure Charlie Wyke signed for at least £10k a week in 2021, which probably got increased with promotion. He barely plays, as does Magennis, who is reported to be on even more than Wyke. £25k a week (or £1m a year) for two players to sit on their backsides and rarely feature - no wonder they keep going bust.

| I feel sorry for Latics fans as soon as they got a bit of power with Whelan,the town was turning blue (It didnt),we own the stadium and will control what happens (they did to a certain extent),now one banner was took down and replaced by a mainly Rugby one,academy played on the pitch,Robin park is a success with the concerts and fan days etc.Rugby side of town is flying but the football is floundering and needed a Rugby guy to save them oh how I enjoyed that.
Latics fans cannot cope with the Rugby's success,to be fair Latics are a very very good pub side.
