From what I gather from reading the ticket sales schedule, it sounds like the ticket office are giving priority to those that queue up and wait.
If there is a queue outside the ticket office the phones and the online sale portal will be switched off. So it could be Tuesday or Wednesday before you will be able to by via those methods.
It also says that it is 2 per season ticket, so I can’t see them veering away from that either.
Jayt I also thought that when I first read it, but having checked it again, the priority for ticket office callers, only applies when they go on general sale, not from Monday. There is a double asterix with reference to general sale mate. B)[/quote]
Maybe the priority is for the supports club only ;)
City have strengthened considerably since last season and have arguably a much stronger squad than last season.
We on the other hand have cut back drastically on last season, wages wise, and on paper have a weaker team, but overall we may have a stronger squad of players.
What we have regained under Rosler though is the belief that we can beat anyone, the whole squad works their bollocks off for each and we have learned how to defend and soak up pressure.
Overall I tend to agree with you though, this was probably a bigger upset than the victory in May, and the prize again is another trip to Wembley, the home of football and of Wigan Athletic.Cracking performance and stresfull to watch….. loved every minute of it.
Reminded me of the Arsenal game in the prem a few years back at their place, the 2-1 game when we went 2 up dead early on.
Boyce, what a man.
Manager has to be Alex Ferguson…
I thought edinburghlatic was upset that Griff didn’t accept his suggestion. But what is Sir Alex addicted to? Success perhaps?

Apart from a quite ridiculous suggestion of Alex Ferguson, nobody has managed to come up with anyone that we hadn’t already considered.

Maybe I can let you in a secret, the former man utd manager was into drinking…. which could possible qualify as a suggestion for manager… there I’ve said it…
As for Griffs response, am sure he knows how pathetic those responses are and how they wont encourage people to contribute on this site. But I doubt many people dont know that.
During a conversation at our Thursday Night Football last week about my 5-4-Friday, we digressed to a Football XI of players known for addictions of some sort, or at least a very well documented liking for something they shouldn’t.
We came up with a decent team – if only you could keep them out of the pub/bookies/pharmacy!
GK – Peter Shilton
RB – Gary Charles
CB – Tony Adams
CB – Paul McGrath
LB – Kenny SansomRM – Paul Merson
CM – Bryan Robson
CM – Paul Gascoigne
LM – George BestFW – Diego Maradona
FW – Jimmy GreavesManager – Brian Clough/Howard Kendall
Any improvements?
Apart from a quite ridiculous suggestion of Alex Ferguson, nobody has managed to come up with anyone that we hadn’t already considered. However, I should probably have pointed out that selection for the team was based on a vague formula comprising a combination of quality of player and level/notoriety of alleged addictedness. That’s why Roy Carroll/Warren Aspinall were considered, for example, but were ultimately rejected in favour of better players.[/quote]

I am an old fart and echo the sentiments of those on here who do not want the music to return. Just because it’s different and something new doesn’t mean it should be accepted as good thing. It was cringeworthy and I hated it with a passion.
Kids of course like naff things so it will appeal to them in the same way “The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round” and “One Direction” do at various times in their lives. Thankfully most of them grow out of it and go on to appreciate that a goal can be celebrated properly without the need of a prompt.Personally I would like to hear the Benny Hill theme tuen when we score.

I believe oppositions fans mocking us in the premiership by singing the music was one factor, playing music takes away from the fans celebration and impacts the atmosphere is another.
It was tried and disliked by a lot of fans, not sure there was a poll but this is Wigan Latics, maybe the music is played exclusively for some lol
Gomez would be mad to stay given the horrific reception the majority of our fans have given him. He may have found his level, but I suspect if he is in a stronger team he will get the time he needs to play his game.
Freebie to Everton in the summer !
They need to revam European football and create interesting games. Create 2 or 3 leagues, where the top group play for seeding at major championships, lower seeds play for the playoff places and promotion.
This way we get to see the big teams play and people will keep interested, rather than the two games every 2 years and then we get knocked out of the euro’s/world cup.
Why should the top revenue earners pay for football development in eastern europe and such like by playing meaningless games. Its not as though they vote for us in the Eurovision….

Odds are in favour of victory for managers of the month in the game following the award, myth about the jinx.
You express the positive message so well.
Dont need to go, I had my picture taken months ago with it.
Thanks for thinking of the little people.
