I think this is a good idea, especially if it gets a few new people through the door..although let's face it if we put in a rubbish performance, they're unlikely to come again, but that's not the fault of the marketing team.

I think the fact that you get a free 2010 season ticket if you buy the most tickets is pretty good, they should have hyped that up a bit in the text, it's somewhat lost in the 6th paragraph.

Anyway I'll be putting the sticker up in my car, it's not going to do me any harm and it might win my hospitality at the match, which would be great.

As others have said, the reason they didn't do this for the saints match is because they already would have expected a big crowd, so it would have been a waste of time.

I swear some people will complain over anything - you're offered something for nothing ffs The negativity from some does my head in, the club just can't win.

Id happily stick the sticker up in my car...but is it going to come off easily when I get back from the game after being killed by Leeds?

12,300 wasn't that bad.

(I realise 500 junior rugby players were there too)

Which is 3000 fewer than the club were hoping for pre season as it was billed as a community day with a number of initiatives.

had remembered that but didnt want to bring it up

Not much seemed to happen on this "community day" other than a load of kids walking around the field during warm up.

There wasn't even a pre match "turn".

Then again, when cost saving measures are in place, we can't expect much.

When I got on the ground at 2.20pm I expected far less than 10K

I don't remember that, what was it meant to be? I did wonder why there were so many kids, but I thought it was a much better crowd than most of us expected.

And AJ, pink and blue fizzy bottles do not class as 'complaining over anything'

there was a 3 hour festival before the game at st cuthberts.

Anyone who went on sun would realise there wasnt 12,300 on!!! Less than 10k IMO and the worst attendance at the JJB for years. The only way Wigan arrived at 12,300 was by counting what appeared to be numerous season ticket holders who didnt turn up, along with counting all the free tickets given away, regardless of whether they turned up.

The east stand was as busy as i've seen it for a while against a team outside of the big clubs like Saints, Leeds, Bradford or Wire.

Probably free tickets but i wouldn't say 12k was too wide of the mark.

View from the west stand, was that the east stand was more full then usual and with the south being slighty down on normal. Therfore 12k was about rite IMO

I agree, it was just the Man Utd supporting chavs in the South Stand that didnt turn up!!

whats that got to do with it?

its ok if your near st cuthberts, but some of us would prefer a 3 hour festival round robin park.

too much to ask?
