Being generous and saying 2000 from Blackburn
2240 according to http://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/14681066.MATCHDAY_LIVE__Wigan_Athletic_v_Blackburn_Rovers/?rmacef=%5B/quote%5D
Good turn out, how many did Wigan Warriors take to Castleford to see their team lose as well? :whistle:[/quote]
About twice as many as Wigan Athletic took to see their team lose at Oldham.

:whistle:[/quote]But the difference is sunbeam, that super 8’s malarkey is the chubsters only chance of winning summut, they have fecked up everything else.
We have set out this season to consolidate a good position in the championship and build on that.
Yer shower of shyte meanwhile continue to under achieve season after season.See the subtle difference broath brain?
B) :lol:From Matlock to ManU
What a journey!pay on the day now has a 2 quid charge total bllx one lad turned up had 25 quid but was turned away …the lad said they wouldnt back down so he fked off…now that helps if trueI hope that wasnt true. We want to attract fans not turn ’em away. Bet he’s worked hard all week, fancies watching a game, turns up at the DW full of excitement then gets turned away.
Mr sharpe. I hope you take note.
Ps; £25 or £27 is way too steep. Charge £15 – 20 & you’ll get a lot more on.
Well said Runcorn. One of the best comments to ever appear on CL and at that price the club would get over the season over double that of season ticket holders and more in New Springfield.
We ST’s are paying £7.78 per game.
That’s a knock out price, whatever the division.
Matchday price should be £15. Get bums on seats and get behind the boys.
I think the logic behind the matchday pricing is so we can guarantee a pay day when Leeds, Newcastle etc come to town with their 5000.
I wouldn’t think we’d get 5000 extras in even if it was a tenner.
This is what my brain is telling me anyway.

I see where you are coming from tez, but i think reduce the price & it might make people want to come. Imagine if you will a young nipper of around 4 who has just got into football. He/she begs his dad/mum to take him/her to the game. Parent gives in (as us parents do) & turns up on the day – not knowing about the £2 extra charge, with what he/she thinks is the right money, but is turned away because they are short of cash. Or, it means that little jonny/jenny goes without their pop & crisps when watching the game.
IMO scrap this £2 charge, reduce the price of tickets & get people into the ground.
What i want to know is where have all those who turned up on the final day of last season gone!!!!I don’t get the £2 charge either, senseless but plenty of clubs have started doing that to us away too. I suppose if Blackburn brought an extra 500 on the day it’s a grand extra to us. It was the high matchday prices I was mainly talking about.
I’ve had a battle lately with somebody who is the biggest Liverpool fan you will ever come across who rarely goes a game, he’s lived in Wigan all of his life. His argument is ticket prices, travel cost etc. I’ve told him he could still go Wigan get a live football fix and watch LFC on MOTD.
You know what he said? “I’ve been Latics plenty of times and it just isn’t exciting when it’s not your own team”. A similar conversation could be played out countless times around the borough, despite many of these people loving our first season in the prem or having a blinder at Wembley in 2013.I genuinely can’t go out now when there’s one of our big local teams on in the pub and it’s rammed with blokes in replica shirts, I’d end up jailed.
Happens everywhere in plenty of sports, no issue with it.
The actual price should be lowered though.
£10 for the crappy games like Fulham, Rotherham etc and midweeks
£15 for middle ground like Forest
£20 for the top games like Leeds, Toon, PNE£5 for kids every game.

Totally agree with that egg. I suggest you send your list of prices to mr sharpe. Those kind of prices might attract an extra 2000 – 4000.
In an ideal world, this would happen, but as has been demonstrated with cup games that cost £10 or £15, folk just wont pay to watch something that they can do without.
This is not a swipe at WAFC, but a fact – the folk of Wigan do not have much disposable income, and even if the games were £10, then I doubt many would be tempted (as borne out by cup attendances). For many, watching live sport is not an option any more.
Your ST prices were fantastic value, and the club should be commended for providing such fantastic value. £179 for an adult and a kid to watch 23 games is a great price, yet despite this, less than half the stadium is filled with ST holders.
By charging £20 and £25 for the casual fan, it means the club can then charge visiting supporters that figure. Around 20% of the average attendance this season will be visiting supporters, and if they can be charged £25, it will help keep your ST prices lower. Away fans will not begrudge paying £25 or even £30 at the DW when the likes of Sheff Wed fleece them for £42.
