Stacks of empty seats and less than 65000 there.
Maybe with us playing at home fans who follow both clubs opted to stay in Wigan and go to the DW.
It certainly didn’t make any difference to our official attendance. With less than 2000 away fans the gate was up from the Bury match who brought around 1200. Yes we had slightly less home fans there today but this is probably down to the pay on the day price which was incidentally more expensive than many Wembley tickets today. II’m sure I’ve read somewhere that they only sold 8000 tickets, no doubt the evening post will have the headline PATHETIC on the next edition!
I’ve heard that figure a couple of times snowblind but on highlights there looked a few more?
but not sure we should be taking the pish out of the rugby. East stand was empty today, poor attendance in my opinion.

How many coaches do you think there were available in Wigan. To take the mickey out of 60 odd thousand is a bit rich when you had a conference attendance. Turning Blue :silly: :silly: :silly: Ask yourself where the other thousands of fans were today :P ;) Portsmouth brought 3,000 so that leaves 6,000 home fans and you can subtract the guaranteed attendance figures from season ticket holders so how many were really there? 4000? MASSIVE support.

On your way back from Wembley and all you can think of is Wigan Athletic.

Nowhere near 3k Portsmouth fans yosser..
And when all said n done, rugby fans didn’t turn up today so best you keep stum…
Trains were on “lockdown” (hate that American saying) as you put it, in 2013 when we won the FA Cup but will still took over 25k fansYosser, take your bullshit figures and excuses over to the Gypo site and fuckin stay there you boring t**t!
Fuck the EFL
Yosser, take your bullshit figures and excuses over to the Gypo site and fuckin stay there you boring t**t!Yeah i will do but if you can’t take it then don’t fucking dish it out you little prick. Would you like to meet me so you can call me a twat to my face you fucking weasel?
I was at the game yesterday. The facts:
1. There were gaps in both ends, but there were definitely more Hull supporters than Wigan. However as just about every neutral was supporting Hull then it was hardly surprising. I saw lots of Leeds, castleford, Bradford, Huddersfield, featherstone and numerous other Yorkshire clubs all rooting for the Yorkshire club. I didn’t see a single saints or Warrington shirt, but even if they were there, they’d be cheering anyone but Wigan!
2. Half of the top tier was empty – where the TV cameras were. Most of club Wembley wasn’t filled either. The rest was full. 68000+ sounds right.
3. Travel problems hampered Wigan fans more than Hull, as kings cross was open as normal.
4. Hull city unselfishly switched their game to Friday night to allow supporters of both clubs a chance to watch both sides.
5. I won £50 on backing Hull after the first Wigan try.
6. Hull deservedly won.

Mutty in response to the little dig hidden among the facts it needs the agreement of both clubs to switch a fixture. We approached Portsmouth and they said no do nothing selfish there.
But we didn’t need to switch the fixture. Those empty seats at the top of Wembley were cheaper than tickets for Latics v Pompey.
Our home crowd was slightly down on the Bury match because of the cost and nothing else.We approached Portsmouth and they said no do nothing selfish there.Taken from another thread:
Clearly in the know more than I am as I wasn’t aware of a requested fixture change.Either you or Egg is wrong. You say there was a request, he says not.
Few years from now rugby league wont exist yesterday showed nobody gives a flyer about it like they used to
But i remember when wigan used to rise to the occation
Sadly those days are over but those that went wearing cherry and shyte from bolton preston chorley hope they had a good day
Has for us real wiganers it meant feck all congratulations to hull unlucky to wigan and its poultry 8,000
Good job seats where red made it look like there was more boltners and prestoners
Rugby town my ass
Could only hear hull fans singing
