think they where sold at 4 quid a ticket or thereabouts, so its still gonna bring a small amount of revenue in, and if it means new fans paying to come again in the future then it's a great idea! |

I know exactly that they PURCHASED 4k tickets. I'm not classing tickets distributed by the company as general public.
I class myself as public. No links to the company + so will have to buy my own tickets MYSELF as FULL PRICE + in PERSON down at the stadium....
OK.......?

Would you expect any walk up support to have purchased their tickets for a Quins game 2 weeks in advance?
It's a positive story. 14000 tickets, whatever way you want to look at it have been sold for what is traditionally one of, if not the, least attractive fixture of the season.
You sound like you belong on Cockney Liar |

Christ...what have I said? I've only outlines what I think the story tells us!
I applaud the marketing team for getting 4k shifted for a game of the magnitude (or not) or Quins...
I'm just dissapointed we've not 'Sold' more.
Yes, me and my family don't have season tickets but have our quins tickets in advance so it is possible.
As for the Pathetics...don't link me with that bunch. Really....
I'm not negatively jabbing the club. Why'd there always have to be a jibe back on here? If we don't have a favourite of the month in terms of players to blame for something, we'll find a way to blame the fans!
Surely this place is for discussion? Let's have some!
My opinion is that with 4k given away (ok, not literally but u get my jist) I'm hoping we have more than 14k on the night. Get me? Not negative. Just hopeful that as our entertainment has gone up this year, I think our attendances could reflect it!

Full stadiums, be it fully paid up season ticket holders, walk up to door paying speccies or freebies who cares as long as they are full and people are enjoying the game? Really ?
If little clubs only attracting pish poor attendances like Salford are the ones apposed to this then you must ask yourself
"What the point in having these clubs run by people with no ambition" ?

Absolutely fantastic. ![]()
Quoting the word "Purchased" on a certain football site in Wigan, to counter their staunch belief that these were freebies has just gotten me a ban!
They really dont like the truth over on COCKney whatever.... do they!

His point is:
"....with 4k given away ...... I'm hoping we have more than 14k on the night. "
What is wrong with that?
Given circa 10K season ticket holders, that seems a reasonable ambition to have that even for a game v Quins our current form has got us some more supporters who will turn out even if it is considered an unattractive fixture. I would think this is what Mick Hogan and Co would like to see as well.
(For the record I think the Heinz and Worthington deals are a great idea but see no problem in hoping we get those people in AND more than just them and season ticket holders).

| Quote: DaveO "His point is
What's wrong with it dave is that on His OP (Not the one you Quoted) he's made 2 x points and they're both wrong.
For a start 4k tickets have not been "Given" away. They've been purchased.
Secondly on his original post he then goes on to say that "reading Between the lines" we have 10k Season tickets, "Given" 5k away so we have sold "Sod all" or Next to "Sod All" to the public.
Well considering AFIK we haven't got 10k Plus season ticket holders & we've Sold 4k to Worthingtons & Heinz that means we have "Already" Sold somehwere in the region of a a Thousand some 2 weeks in advance of the Game to the General Public.
I don't call that "Sod All" or "Next to Sod All".
They also say I Hope we have more than that on the night as though the marketting team are thinking Job Done we don't have to do anymore know! I'm sure they'll be pulling out all the stops for the next few weeks and I'd like a Little Bet that there'll be Many More than 14k come the day!
Without a shadow of a doubt this poster was trying to put a Negativity around the story, which they are more than entitiled to do, and they can do it with inaccurate "Facts" if they like. But don't get all upset when people pick them up on it and have a go Back.

I'm still hoping to convince my wife that spending our St. Georges Day Wedding Anniversay watching Wigan V. Quinns will be a very good idea. If I manage to do that the attendance will rise to precisely 14002!!!
At the end of the day 14k+ bums on seats for the Quins match is very good. With two away games coming up I'd expect that to top 16k which quite frankly is fantastic.
