Thanks for pointing that out.
Quote: SRC "Craven Park has an 'adequate' capacity. '"
Obviously it doesn't if only 10% of our season ticket holders can get what they were entitled to? 25% minimum should have got tickets as that would be an adequate number for the offer that was on. Why should fans who go home and away have to stump up cash for what should have been a free game just to benefit you? If the RFL want to promise season ticket holders free access into the fourth round challenge cup then it may have to consider what happens in situations like this cause imo it's caused unneeded headaches for fans. Simple answer imo would have been free fifth round ties but seeing they don't wanna do this you should have been forced to move the game.
Quote: SRC "I can't believe the arrogance of some fans. What do you suggest we do? Make sure every Wigan season ticket holder gets a FREE ticket and turn away our own PAYING fans ??'"
It's not arrogance it's all about getting what you was promised before hand. It's not an anti Barrow rant but sadly it's not good enough.
Quote: SRC "You will probably get extra tickets in due course. And you'd better sell them ALL after all this bleating !'"
That’s the problem if we do end up selling them to our fans. If these tickets come available later they should have been available from the start.

| Here's a revenue making suggestion for Ian Lenagan.
Print vouchers in the programme.
Buy a programme and get a voucher.
For the "big" or "awkward" games, vouchers have preference.
I now don't but a programme, but if that was the scenario I would.
More revenue for Wigan and a fairer system.

Good idea but it would just be a money making scheme would it not when all season tickets are electronic? They have the home data and maybe it's the away data they need?
Lets not also start going down the road of trying to categorise fans by the games they turn up 2 as not every one is the same with work and family commitments.
Like I said 1k isn’t enough to make the fans happy 2k or 2and a half probably would have meant this mess was avoided.

they tried that at liverpool before dishing out vouchers.
programmes were selling on the black market at silly prices.
saying that.....so were the vouchers.

| In order to save you some money and avoid lining the pockets of the local Council............
DO NOT PARK IN THE FOLLOWING AREAS AS YOU WILL MOST LIKELY BE CLAMPED.
Asda Carpark
Tesco Carpark
Halfords/Homebase carpark
Hollywood Park Carpark (the one with Mc donalds, Pizza Hut etc) has now put signs up stating you will be clamped !
I guarantee the Parking wardens etc will be out in force knowing there is an opportunity to be had. Thats how the little Hitlers behave round here.
Boycott these fast food places and Supermarkets on the day and spend your money in surrounding pubs where you will get a far better meal anyway. Alternatively in Craven Park or bring sandwiches etc.

| Problem is there are no carparks nearby that hold enough. Plenty of streets but again as Ive said the little Hitlers will be out in force.
Keep your eye on the forums for details. I hope the club can sort something with the Hollywood Park situation but im unsure how they will.
Get here early is all I can say really. With a bit of luck someone from the Barrow Forum will give you some more tips as Im not a Barrovian and my local knowledge is limited.
Also avoid The Range carpark to. Im not sure about Next and Blockbuster Video's carpark

What sort of double speak is this ????
This voucher scheme was floored from the begining , if it was for HOME GAMES ONLY then every fan from every club would have been catered for, providing you got a home draw, but thats the "luck" of the draw isnt it.
You say in one breath not too categorise fans by the games they turn up 2 as not every one is the same with work and family commitments, but then on another posting claim that you should get a lot more tickets as more fans who travel home & away will miss out ??
PS, We can hear the "Wigan Whinge" from here, all we need now is to hear it along with seeing the "Wigan Walk' with 10/15 mins to go to the final whistle, now that will rock our senses

| There are plenty of Car Parks or side streets with parking spaces all along Dalton Rd , Dalton Rd is Barrow's high st, it has plenty of WMC,s and pubs, cafe's & resturants etc, all of these are only a few mins walk away from the ground.
Opposite the Barrow Football ( not the Rugby ) ground on Walney RD there are business parks whose car parks will be empty, this is also just a few mins walk from the RL ground etc.
Boozers near here inc the soccer bar & the tally ho both have food and large car parks but are the furthest away from the ground etc, but a taxi would cost about 3 quix max,, the ambrose, the kill-one, the weathsheaf, owl & pussycat family/food pub, theres a good pub a stones throw from the ground on bath st/nelson st, can not remember its fekking name sorry.
Abbey rd, just around the corner from the Rugby ground has several pub or WMC,s also.
Safe journey, enjoy the day out but not the result
