I seem to remember Steve Bruce when leaving Latics some years ago saying something like “Its like shopping at Harrods rather than Aldi”, so let’s charge him Harrods prices 7 million sounss about right.
Now’s the best time to sell, most bigger clubs need 1 or 2 for the final push and they know who they need so there will be plenty of loanees on offer that we could pick and choose from
Rumour we’ve struggled to sell them all. I know non season ticket holders who’s got tickets comfortably
Got 2, check transaction history on your season tickets if you can find it .I can’t see anything in Wigan Ath tickets online but they’ve def taken £45 from my bank
that’s unless Big D’s on the rob
They’ve taken £45 from my account so I’m hoping I got all 3 I applied for
(Heads over to Gumtree :) )
I still think the club has done the best and fairest thing. Its pure chance whether you get drawn out or not.
It matters not one jot whether you are one who goes home and away every week, or if you are a home game boycotter who goes most away or whatever. Actually, anybody without a ST is unable to apply, anyway.
This Ballot System- For season ticket holders only, the people who have already put money forward and showed faith to the club. And there will be NO GENERAL sale.
Don’t get me wrong, if it had been a case that Joe Public couldve registered, even if they dont have a Season Ticket, I’d be fuming and going nuts. But fact is, the club has basically made it Season Ticket holdera only, and made it a simple lottery out of all who register.
Club couldn’t have been fairer, in all honesty. Any season ticket holder who registers as has much chance as the next ST holder who has registered. Theres no need for 5am queuing (I was expecting to) and it also irradicates the smugness of people who gloatingly post “I logged on online at 5 past nine and was sorted in 2 minutes”. Hard lines on that score! Ha ha.
People who go home and away should take preference. This could be the only game they miss because someone decides they wanna go on the piss round Blackpool.[/quote]
Don’t you mean the piss wet through round Blackpool
Ballotts are for when you have 4000-6000 people who religiously go to away games and the club only had 1,000. in the case of Wigan we have around 500 that go to 80% of our away games and they should be the ones that are ring fenced, regarldless off season tickets.
In this case there could very well be 1,000 brand new fans going to Fylde like those that went to wembley for our semi and final, leaving those 500 who go to Gillinham and Charton a Tuesday night at home to watch it on TV. lets see what Thursday bringsDoes that ring fenced 500 include the MANY that do not go to home games any more choosing an away day out as the only games they attend, these contribute not one penny to WAFC.[/quote]
In an ideal world it would be:
1. Season Ticket holders with X amount of away ticket purchases
2. Season Ticket holders
3. Those with away ticket purchase history
4. Whatever is left to General SaleDoesn’t matter if you have a ticket allocation of 8,000 or 80, this is fairest way of doing it: ie, reward those have put money into the club first.[/quote]
Yep bang on , I dont go that many away these days, well the long distance ones but I’ve been a season ticket holder since the mid/late 80’s and hardly miss a game Cup or League. But, I wouldn’t grumble if a true Tic’s home/away supporter got one over me so looking at away history/season ticket holder would be the best option.
Me thinks a little bit of peeping might go on when they choose who gets one first and you scratch my back ….. all that
Latest is that the consultant is sure Jordan will be better off in the long run if his spine can correct itself and so is holding off the surgery option.Yep, with back injuries you can get just as much long term problems once the surgeons has been in. Scar tissue been one of the main factors. You only have to look at Tiger Woods, no amount of money will correct he’s long term back problems so hopefully Jordan will put it right with good physio.
Get well son budWhy???????Can’t comment I’m still trying to dry out my phone my skids and dry out from the Blackpool nats pish ale.
When your watching the game with one eye in the rain the only place to be is at the concourse bar
Did we win ??
And like they’ll be travelling in their droves. 10 bob club with soft southern barstward fans. They’ll get a nose bleed coming through Birminghm
And if it fails as a club they could always do what Arsenal or Chelsea were trying to do. Knock it down and build luxury penthouse suites overlooking the River Douglas.
Even Whelan can’t sell that one
Ross County are now odds on to go down while the Ross & Comarty Table Tennis Club are Favs to with their League, weird
While the subject of Tics fans paying the same as aways fans was brought up I think that all clubs should set away fan prices before the season starts.
Each club can then, say Plymouth charge £30 for Wigan then we should be allowed to charge them up to £30. This is one of the reasons I fooked away games off in the Championship.
I got pished off watching clubs bring 3000-4000 on £20-£25 a ticket while they charge us £30-£40 when we visit them.
As for not paying £60 ?, If me and my lot didn’t have season tickets we couldn’t afford the likes of this week Saturday and Tuesday, pay on the day turns into a dear doProbably the worse transfer window I can remember slash the wage bill and about £2million banked.
Lang should have been stuck on the bench and Grigg unloaded especially with his contract up next summer.
Gilbey gone ?, gotta be a personal thing,Lang will probably get a bag full at Morecambe then we’ll flog him rather than use him
“He’s one of our own” song is the kiss of death for our youngsters, hear that and your off
