      Here we go, North Stand closed for the Burton game tonight, Burton fans will be located in WS10 they will have their own bar opposite WS8 and a smoking area.

      I knew it wouldn’t be long before the penny pinchers started to do this, so fans sitting in their regular seats in WS10 will have to be moved to accommodate Burton fans, Looks like we are on a trial run ready for League 2 with less than 6k fans in the stadium.

      Fuck the EFL

        They’ll eventually fence off W10 and allocate that to future fans with say 200 less.

        What the club forget is, some of these lower clubs being a group of young pissed up young teenage Green St wannabes with the drum etc who will do fook all but wind up and although the majority who come to Wigan will be fine do it enough times away fans in the home end and eventually it will go off I promise.

        Next season I can see this happening more and more. All to save money seriously this club is re-writing the rules on how not to spend money

        Billionaire? More like Beverley hill Billies Athletic

          It will be fun in the stadium tonight, especially from the fans who aren’t aware and go to take their usual seat only to find out they are being moved elsewhere!

          The concourse will also be fun at half time.

          Fuck the EFL

            Probably cost twice as much in the long run in stewards. But seriously, there on about giving Aasgaard a pay rise and the can even open the ground ?. Jesus wept, would be cheaper just to ban Burton fans.
            This is to test the water and I’m in no doubt they’ll keep pushing how many thinking:-

            “Well we’ve had no problem so far what harm can another 100 do?”

            Till theres that match when tempers run high and all hell breaks loose and looking at some of those stewards they’ll be over that canal bridge faster than diarrhea in a Tia jail.

            I reckon they should do it for the Stockport game, give them W10-W9 say 1000

            Now that would be fun, in your hands Mr (Burns) Danson

              What a rubbish idea , why ??
              In the south stand 200 makes hardly no noise and will deflate the away team more likely however given be that 200 two sheets of the west and suddenly a tiny hollow away following becomes a noisy mob firing up their players and given Latics poor home form the last thing they need.
              I cannot see what the saving is bar a few stewards and gate staff and a bit of lighting underneath in the concourse.
              I agree with the issues with crowd control also , bad idea all round in my opinion.

                Agree with all that’s been said.

                Clearly, they’ve given consideration to us being in Lg2 soon.

                Theyve no ambition for Latics at all, have they?

                If they do want to move us to Orrell and a ground there, I actually wouldn’t mind. That stadium is shite.

                  Next move will be to fence off W10 W9 they’ve a bar a toilet steps and that will be the new home for clubs with under 500

                    I wouldn’t expect the Leam Richardson South Stand to be used next season. Actually it will be in mothballs for many years to come. There will be less following us and that will drop year on year for the foreseeable future whilst the owners don’t demonstrate any ambition and continue to show they are content in just making the numbers up in the lower leagues which could quite easily be non league again if they continue. Both this lack of ambition and an absolute shit show on the pitch could even push crowds so low that home support may only require the West Stand or on occasions the East.

                      The more the crowds dwindle the more the owners have to put in so it’s false economy in my view.
                      Never thought the club would return to a period as grim as the late 1980s /90speriod but it looks like that’s where we are going without investment.

                        At what point numbers wise do they allow and don’t allow away fans into W10 ?. There’s no proper segregation in the seating area then they were happily walking around the concourse going for food when does it become unsafe ? Which clubs ? how many number wise ?.
                        The clubs dipped their big toe in and probably thought “Chicken dinner, winner winner, let’s do this again hey !”

                        I think they’ll look at last night as a success but it was Burton when all said and done on a cold and wet Tuesday night so what happens when there’s a few more say on a Saturday but not enough to warrant opening the North Stand to save money and they’ve had a few pre match sherbets and so have the Wigan fans.

                        The club cannot predict what will be a safe non safe game and opposing fans but not just that, based on the stewards, the away bar which was originally for home fans and the way the away fans were intermingling it’s a recipe for a disaster.

                        There is one turnstile that would be shared by home and away, one set of stairs leading into again shared by home & away, no segregation in the ground seating except for 2 stewards (if that’s what you want to call them ) and no segregation under the concourse before,after and half time, we must be the only club in all four divisions offering away fans non segregation.

                        Never in all my years have I seen anything as stupid as last night and whoever had this idea I would like this person’s name so I can write them an email just to let them know that when they do this again again (and they will to safe money) it will be on this persons head should anything happen.

                        If they want to save money segregate the North Stand shutting half of it down and close the Marquee bar underneath, if they wanna pint go in the ground like we have to do at alot of away games we go. Get some barriers in the North Stand concourse, jobs done.

                        I’d seriously would love to know how much the club actually saved because if it was profitable I can see structural changes to W10 to accommodate away fans.

                        This club has gone to the fookin dogs 7533 last night and it won’t be long before we go under 7000 and with bellend ideas like that and a performance taboot who can blame them

                              The attendance will no doubt include all the ST holders who haven’t even attended. From my household, there were 3 ST holders who didn’t attend.
                              I bet there were loads who didn’t go and who haven’t bothered for a while. But they’ll still be included in the attendance. So there is likely no way there was even 7000 on.
                              My lad is 18, not far off 19. He’s saying he’s not renewing next season after having had one since he was about 3. I know of others the same age who have been diehards. They’ve jacked in and gone off travelling and things. My lads are getting the same. Good on them, don’t get bogged down with football loyalty. It’s cost me jobs and women over the years and frankly, there are more important things in life. Clubs don’t actually give two shits about supporters at the end of the day. What are we? Peasants at the jousting, or the modern equivalent. That’s all we are. Until we are actually a fans run, community club, like they have in Germany, we are milked for our stubborn blind loyalty. Well, I’m afraid Myself, and likely many others, have already dropped off.
                              I mean, shit, I don’t actually like my own club anymore. Or rather what we have become? Since Administration and all the Talal nonsense, it’s not been tbe same club…its not, has it? We were a very close nit club..we always were. I was proud of how we were. But all that’s gone. The club and support have never been as distant.
                              And they’ve milked having Maloney a man with link and history to the club. They’ve abused us with it in all honesty. Used it as a kind of bargaining tool, playing on it massively. But they’ve pushed it too far and the managers failings and ineptness has pushed people to pack in going. Where this will all end and to what depth we have to sink before something happens, I’ve no idea. I definitely don’t see any ambition in the club as it stands. I dint really think they are too bothered if we stay up, or go down. Just as long as we ‘tick along’ with as little fuss as possible.

                              We are becoming something of a non entity really.

                                At the end of the day Danson took over a club in financial crisis through no fault of the loyal fanbase it has.

                                I can understand we need to straighten the money issue out but what’s he thinking ? If I turn the lights off in the toilets while the games on ? No stewards we get raffled out to do the job ? cold pies ? Cutout cardboard Police like in the Pound shop ?
                                The closing of the away North stand is dangerous. The club cannot vouch to the character of the home & away fans attending on that particular day.

                                Were the Burton fans were put there is no safe way on this planet to keep fans apart some idiot at the club needs a fookin serious head wobble utter clueless

                                It’s no doubt a hairbrained scheme dreamt up by non footballing business minded guru’s who have never been subjected to the naughty side of football.
                                We closed the stand as we need the money to go towards the running cost of the women’s side, pinch from Peter to pay Paul.

                                We’ve given the rights to the stadium to his charity brilliant but that brings in how much revenue to the club ? doesn’t really matter cause he’s took that off us.

                                Self sufficient? save money?? how’s about asking all the fans turn the phone torches on then turn the lights off and give us a Binbag each “Must be full before you can leave”

                                If he thinks we can become self sufficient he should slip into Dorothy’s red shoes and click um 3 times saying “We need money at Wigan”

                                Delusional I say to have so much wealth and to be so fookin tight it simply beggars belief
