They locked Wigan fans out of the West Terrace when we went in 2008 (the night Mathers got sent off). I know at least two people who couldn't get in.

Serious question. Why?

If Wire can sell 11,400 for this game, with Wigan snapping up the other 1800 then why shouldn't they? You will have been given around 14% of the available tickets, and that is fair.

If your tickets go really quickly then I agree that more should be forthcoming, providing there is availibility, but there is no reason why Wigan fans should get priority over the home fans.

So that it stops p1llocks coming on here (Not you BTW) stating that we have never sold out, were "Probably" not going to sell out & being told we need to be more realistic blah blah with a cocky attitude?

I don't give 2 x hoots to be honest with you, just cant believe that someone comes on stating that we can't/won't etc sell out the West Stand when it's plainly obvious that we can't because there on sale to the Wire Fans as well at the same time!
I agree that even if we did get the 3k then maybe Wigan wouldn't sell them all out, but until they do it's a non-argument as Wire fans get the chance to buy them before they go on genereal sale at Wigan.

It's a bit like me saying 1 x person from Wigan has a ticket in the South Stand at Wire so you couldn't sell out your Home allocation!
It's a ridiculous statement!

And me thinks it's an over excited, getting carried away, you would think after all these years would know better Wire fan trying to be a bit smart!

Considering you aren't bothered, that was a little bit of a rant!

Not sure why you would get wound up with somebody who was clearly stirring. I've been to a few games over the past few years at the HJ where you have filled the away end. Last year was poor, but I suspect (and hope) that will have been a one off, and the other stands weren't full at that game either.

I wouldn't say a Rant, just a full explanation of why I replied?
Apologies if it comes across that way but I can assure you that it doesn't bother me in the least what SLimply the Beast thinks, my only interest was to point out to others the idiotic nature of his statement and also Highlight his unearned cockiness to everyone.
Now as long as most Wigan fans can see what he's trying to do (And Failing I Believe) then that will do for me.
And even if we do only take 1500-2000 then it will be 4 x times what Wire used to bring to our place 5/6 years ago!

Not really much point in having a moan about people talking nonsense and having digs when you do exactly the same.

5 or 6 years ago was the period when we were bringing some large crowds to the JJB/DW. Certainly more than 500.

Cheers Jukes. Glad its not just me who thinks that this is a much more straight forward way of doing things!

Just got mine

It may be straightforward, but that doesn't mean it is necessarily right.

If you sell your tickets and there are some left you will get more. That is very simple, and no issue. If you sell your 1800 by Monday for example, but in the meantime we have sold the other 11,400 (which won't happen btw) then that is great, and you have been given a fair allocation. It is a Wire home game.

"we are wigan, we are special, give us all the tickets, we won't buy them, but we will prevent warrington fans from doing so"

sorry to para phrase you pukesays, but that what i feel you are requesting.

so please stop your childish retorts and i will stop mine. i came on here for a reasoned debate, not a childish hissy fit.

but yes once again you've managed to reduce it to that!

nice one.

see you in the west stand, i'll buy you a beer you miserable pie eater!

I'd expect wire to sell as many tickets as poss to their fans and if it means holding our allocation back then so be it. It'll sell out regardless so may as well be more home fans.

And Then




And then
