It wasn’t. It was pay on the night. Queue up at an hut to purchase ticket then entry on other side of ground.
Good turnout of Latics fans to see the youngsters. Over 600 there tonight.
I know. It was a farce.
Tried to pay on the gate and they sent me round the corner. Went in to a big place marked “ticket office” but when they realised I was from Wigan said I couldn’t buy a ticket in the ticket office, they sent me on to “the hut”.
On and on and on to said hut, purchased ticket, but it was right at the opposite side of the ground.
I got ticket for Block L, Row J, seat 28.
In teh concourse there’s big signs, one showing the way to J15-J28. So I head there.
Only to be told by a snotty steward that I should be in Block L, over there.The J28 didn’t refer, as it does in every other ground, but block J, seat 28 with no mention of row.
God help them if anyone ever bothers going back to them and they get crowds in.
And … no programme!
