The Oxford United fan was right but the arrogance of the high an mighty fans on here won't admit it

Ahh the mythical Oxford United fan

A 10,000 crowd for a Latics game is a good crowd judging by their attendances prior to the administration and the pandemic!

The days of being in the money mad world of the Premiership have gone for ever for many smaller clubs like the Latics and Bolton who after being in the Premiership then end up with financial problems as a result of not attracting the same level of support in the lower divisions.

Seeing that you chose to ignore the invite I ask again, are you going to suggest a resolve for this poorly run club then or just constantly criticise it? If you do maybe we will agree with with some of your points.

Until then a number of posters on here will consider you a bit of a troll poster.

It is a good crowd no doubt about it ‘if’ we just say Latics got 7,000-8,000 before the pandemic and the same club gets 10,000 after crowds can come back but it was no normal set of circumstances on Saturday. It was a club that had been staring at the abyss, that had been ripped apart and had clubs with hundreds of millions of pounds coming in, picking over its bones (Leeds and Spurs). It is a club with a set of fans that is relieved, excited and in celebration mode of having a future now. It just wasn’t a normal set of circumstances and for that reason I’m not celebrating a good crowd (in normal circumstances) yet. In the Grand scheme of where Latics have been and where they are now it was solid.

What kind of crowd we expecting Friday ?

Saints and Wigan both losing last week would potential knock 1000 or so off the figure.

15,000+ ?

Looking at the ticket map online, the 10,000 sold as of last week must include a good chunk of Saints fans. Doubt we’ll get 10k on our own looking at it so far.

I’m guessing about 13-14,000.

Just checked at they do say home fans

“ Wigan Warriors are delighted to reveal that 10,000 home tickets have already been sold for The Derby against St Helens later this month.”

Saints will bring 3.5k+ I reckon.

It doesn’t look that on the map but yer can only take their word for it.

Maybe 14-15k then.

Just been on the website to book tickets for the Leeds game. Very straightforward. Tickets emailed as a pdf file - it's the future! Big improvement since the last time I booked tickets on there. Credit where credit is due.

He's not mythical, He's a very nice man

But as before, presumably the '10000 tickets sold' includes all ST holders?

It’s a dying sport unfortunately, those attendances confirm everything.

Why have a go at me commenting on the running of the club when many other supporters who have been use to better times are doing the same thing on this website, Wigan Fans and other local social media,.

Not everybody is a member of the Ian Lenagan Fan Club on here.

Not trolling, just facing the reality of the present state of the club both on and off the field.

p.s. and to answer your question, perhaps the time has come for new younger and more dynamic ownership who have bigger and better finance like the owner of Warrington.

The dynamic Warrington who signed Jack Hughes, Dom Crosby, Kevin Brown, Josh Charnley, Matty Russell o.k
