I still blame Mathers

Relegation or not, Wigan would still have been granted a franchise so would not have been left on the outside anyway. Nevertheless I would have expected them to have bounced back like Cas did the following season, given the difference in quality between SL and NL1.

There is some useful information on the Barrow website for you Wigan fans, regarding travel, parking, pubs etc... worth having a look.

Here's the link.

Cheers for that! It's also in the Evening Mail today saying Wigan should be getting another allocation of tickets later this week, just waiting on the council to give a capacity figure to determine how many more you get.

Heres a direct link for the message to Wigan fans from Barrow RL Vice Chairman ...

Oh, and 5,000 tickets shifted so far.

Here's a sneaky question.

If there's already 5,000 tickets been sold, how come Wigan only got 1,000?

By my maths we should already have had 1,500 under the 30% ruling.

iv not got a ticket yet for this game but its not looking good reading wots being said in the barrow press tonight saying they may give wigan 50 or 300 tickets surley they have broke RFL rules if the capacity is 6000 they should give wigan 1800.

I'm sure the RFL are well aware of what is happening ticket-wise for the match. I know the directors knew of the 30% rule when Wigan were pulled out of the hat.

I haven't seen this RFL 'rule' in writing, but for anyone that has, are there any exemptions ?

Iv just been reading/browsing the RFL operational rules and couldnt find anything on ticket allocation in cup ties the pages on the RFL site are very long winded if anybody else wants a look. So the ticket allocation we got mite be all were going to get but maybe a few more but will outstrip demand.

Anybody who was on the waiting list heard from the club yet?

Dont believe much in Barrows daily ticker, It wants mentioned my wife and her sister are twins and there's 7yrs between them!!
On a serious note, I hope Wigan do get allocated more tickets and see there's more to rugby than the SL and have a good day out.
