Yes of course, the club on the edge of bankruptcy (again) inflated the crowd so we could pay more tax……
At the time there was an article in a football magazine when the then club’s commercial manager (Linda Fillingham) admitted that if the crowd was 3,999 she would never give out a crowd of less than 4,000. I don’t think it happened all the time, I am giving you my first hand account of that day, and even after getting used to crowds of under 1,500, it was still down by 500 on that that particular day. What’s your view of the crowd that day, or were you at the rugby with the rest of Wigan?
Oh and club’s on the verge of bankruptcy and running at a loss don’t generally pay tax.
