I have not missed many home games this season but to me there looked far more home fans on than 11500.
I know the South stand was not busy but the East and West stands were far busier than usual. Even outside the ground it was far busier with more people around and queues to get in.
Could it be that normally the season tickets are counted whether they are there or not and through most of the season many season ticket holders do not attend.
Last night was a comparable crowd to Millwall yet QPR had approaching three thousand there and there looked far more home fans on.
Maybe its a case of hide the figures and pay the 40.000k fine off.A workmate text me saying the sky press were praiseing us saying the was a good crowd on at the d.w stadium.
Given that the West and East stands hold 7,500 apiece, even if there were 1,000 empty seats in each, with 3,500 from QPR and 1,009 in the South that comes to 17,500. No way was that 14,500 unless the crowds have been exaggerated upwards all season.
Must admit i was quite shocked on leaving the ground last night to hear the attendance. My 8 year old son asked how many fans were there from both clubs. I guessed 3000+ from QPR, then thought only 11500 wiganers turned up. I thought no way, there were well more than that.
The sides of the West were empty.
I can’t see the East but I would imagine that the extras in there were just those missing from the South.
The West holds around 1500 less than the East btw
The east stand holds 8000 when full & the west stand 6000. With the 2 end stands somet like 5500.
I reckon there were about 1k-1.5k spare seats in the west stand with a similar number spare in the east, so 11k at a conservative estimate in those 2.
Probably around 3k from QPR takes it up to 14k & no more than 500-1000 in the south stand.
So I don’t think it will have been far off the figure that was given outLast night’s crowd was almost identical to the Warriors v Rhinos semi final last September, which was roundly mocked by some on here.
It seems that not turning up for playoff games isnt just a rugby affliction in Wigan after all.
A few comments from QPR fans.
A few comments from QPR fans.Londoners think life ends at Watford…. :S
Proof indeed….
“When in Wigan every car had Everton or Liverpool stickers in it”……
For which read “Hey guys. I’m a true supporter. I went last night”……..

The Mutt has spoken looking on the bright side an increase of 3000 fans for a semi final at the DW would I think show progress over the last few years would you not agree :ohmy: :ohmy:
It must be a red and white, stripey, hoopy thing with mutty, no matter how much he tries, his legs get whipped from under him. :woohoo:
100% for effort mate, 23% for impact I’m a afraid. :lol:
From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!The sides of the West were empty.I can’t see the East but I would imagine that the extras in there were just those missing from the South.

The east looked quite full on Friday I would have estimated about 7500 in there however the South was as sparse as I have ever seen it and I would suspect some of the usual incumbents in here defected to the East.
I was surprised when I heard the gate particularly when I saw (and snarled )at people there who only ever turned up at premier league games in the pub afterwards- where the ferk where they against Bournemouth and Huddersfield ?
