Is say there are going to be a good few ex-pats going as well. It would be fantastic if we could sell out the Wigan section!

You sound like the man with the local knowledge. Name the Wigan HQ pub bro!

What about we all take flags and make it a sea of cherry & white.

Good idea
I think we should ask the club for a few freebies, we are forking out enough as it is, I'm sure they would donate a few wigan flags or summat . Whose best to contact?

I've just emailed the club and await their response. I will keep you informed if anything happens with this.

Recieved my ticket through the post this afternoon. Anyone else recieved them?

Even if they offered a discount or something on flags that would be good

Why not contact Simon Collinson and ask if you can borrow some of the flags that are normally on the South Stand gantry. I'm sure he and the club would love to see them shown over in Aus.

I went for ezticket so have them as pdf in an email to print later

Flags are bit passe now aren't they?

Lol, I have been making a list of bars to take friends when they come down. There are plenty around that will be great for large Wigan meet ups. There is a very good one in Darling Harbour, plenty of outdoor seating and I can just picture all the Wigan flags wrapped around all the external barriers.

So many others though, plenty near to the ground that will be perfect for match day.

I will work on it over the next month and although it will be painful I will personally visit each one to ensure it meets the minimum required standards for us Wigan fans

Always go for the print at home option with ticketek. Thats good that you have yours already.

Goof luck with that. That is the single worst thing about living in Australia. Not had a real pint in months. I have to go all the way back to the Wigan Beer Festival to remember what real beer tastes like.

There are some decent places for beer, but compared to back home its a struggle. Im sure we can think of something though.

Pints get warm have scooners
