right........so why the hell do we employ stewards?

ive been moved in the past because i sat in the wrong seat....so what the difference in telling em to sit where they can?

and if they cause bother chuck em out.

we then win on 2 counts
1. we sell more tickets
2. the stewards actually do summat to earn their money

Even simpler make the South Stand all reserved!
It doesn't matter what the stewards do. It's not a JJB Stadium this it's a law across at any ground. When it's unreserved they have to leave gaps for health & safety reasons. The South wasn't full that time they announced 25,004 for a Good Friday a few years back either.

What? You mean you expect em' to do more than confiscate pop that little kids have brought from home?

that would make sense.

i see your point btw, but in my experience gangs of 10 or more tend to get there early to get together.
but if its the law of the land, then its the law.

do they still do that??

i remember taking my 5 and 6 yr olds to central park for first time and they took a can of pop each.

they had free tickets that used to come in the LEP , and i paid on gate.
we went through different turnstiles , so i went in first to meet em directly inside, but when i got to their turnstile i found a steward making em drink the pop before he would let em in.
lads were almost in tears until a head steward took them into the ground and let them sit down in a corner and take their time drinking them.

i believe the reason was that a few weeks previous a wire fan had chucked a can at a player

Now that smells of Whelan!

FFS is there anything you don't moan about

South Stand now SOLD OUT.

nearly 20k sold....with say approximately 2k leeds sales at the moment and them saying that any remaining tickets will go for the north part of the west and east stands i recon the home ends will be sold out before kick off......can see any walk ups ending up in the north end with leeds!!

The north could be fun tonight....can see it being a mix of loiners and wiganers!!!

Im gutted I cant go now, looks like its going to be a cracker!

yeah its not soccer!! still it should be fun in ther tonite

I'm not sure you can buy a ticket until the other stands are full but there is never anything to stop Wigan fans paying on the gate there.

Down to less than 1,000 in the Wigan areas so not sure how many planning to pay on the gate but I expect they could be directed towards the North Stand.
