12,300 wasn't that bad.

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.

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. |

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'  |

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 |

Cuthberts is not that far from Robin Park. Less than 2 minutes drive or 10 minutes walk. I'm pleased they are supporting a local amateur club. I passed Cuthberts and it looked packed so well done them. |
