Yes, you can’t be Champions of a Cup competition…. So sod off… :woohoo: .

A lot of older fans hated it and made their feelings known to the club and the club listened and binned it. Someone needs to make the club aware that the kids miss it and I am sure they will consider doing something about it.As for complaining about Northern Soul, at least it is something that the town is known for.
If only there was a person or persons that we were able to talk to and then they could go to the Club and/or gather opinions of a spectrum of fans to see what the consensus is and do what is best for the majority….. something like an appointed Supporters Liaison Officer or something – opportunity missed I think….. oh hang on!!!!

In that case, the offer is there to ALL these people that you meet every week.
Point them in the direction of the Supporters Club Website and tell them to email the Supporter Liaison Officer, it is this sort of thing I can do something about.
I will stand by my personal stance though, if you want something, do something about it. Standing around whinging about it to your mates (or strangers) generally achieves nothing. How does the Club know that everybody hasn’t seen it that wants to?
Whingers generally get miffed because they didn’t make the effort until it was too late.

But ticket prices certainly haven’t been released yet.

I am usually there from 12.00 p.m. but am going a bit earlier this Saturday for a meeting. I have already been organising for someone else who has emailed to come down on Saturday morning (he lives quite far away).
Try emailing again and I will get passes sorted, I have several emails:
jason@wiganathleticslo.co.uk
jason@cockneylatic.co.uk or editor@cockneylatic.co.uk

Runcorn, I get it sorted for you.
Edinburgh, the offer is there, if you don’t take it, don’t whinge.

How can you get fairer than ‘ring on the day’ that you are able to go and will know if it is there or not.
Or as I suggested, if you get in touch with the SLO (me) I might be able to sort something out.
As I have said, I am on here as me not as the SLO.. on here I will speak my mind.
I just can’t understand why anybody is griping about not seeing the Cup when they have had 7 or 8 months to do something about it.
I am on the mailing list for the Club and can vouch for them advertising almost every public opportunity via their newsletters.
If I lived far away and wanted to see the Cup, I would have been ringing the week before every home game until I had seen it, not waiting until 4 weeks before it goes back.
My offer is there, email me and I will see if I can get something organised for you…

I am not going to go into how many times the Cup has been out and about at various times during school holidays and at weekends.
It has been in the DW Sports shop in Wigan on at least 6 Saturdays and in the Grand Arcade on a couple more, we have had in the Supporters Bar twice. We have arranged three events where WASC members can view it up close and personal.
I guarantee that there will have been more than one opportunity that you could have taken to go and see the Cup ‘free’ as you call it.
I will stand by my stance from a few months ago, we have organised this for the Members of WASC, if you are not a member then this isn’t for you.
On speaking to the Club, there doesn’t seem to be any more planned outings for the Cup other than to the Associations and Schools it has already been requested to. This may change and if it does we will post it on here and on the Supporters Club site like we have done over the past 9 months or so, to give as many people the opportunity to see it.
If you desperately want to see it in its case, it has been on show in the Main Reception of the DW Stadium for the past two months and will be there on the days that it is not in schools.
Have you tried emailing or calling anybody at the Stadium or even the Supporters Liaison Officer about it rather than putting posts like this on a forum? because if you had I am sure you would have been made aware of where and when you could see it.
It is like I say to so many people, not just on the FA Cup, if you wait for something to come to you if seldom does.

Can I redirect you here please so I am not answering the same questions everywhere.

There were at least 12 Clubs that gave their vote a few days ago in favour, so there will certainly be at least 20% of the clubs voting for it….

I also have watched football for close on 40 years, all of it watching Wigan , and a lot of it before all seater stadia came in.
I have also seen the safe standing areas in Germany in the last couple of years and because of the rail system there is no possibility of forward/backward movement and so no chance of crushing…. the only movement can be laterally.
In the years that they have been using the ‘standing areas’ there have been no more incidents than there were when those areas were seated.
A lot has happened in 25 years (which I think IS a long time ago) never mind 42 or 68 years.
The Taylor Report found that the main reason for the Hillsborough disaster was the failure of police control, meaning far too many people without tickets were getting in to the ground.
I personally think that the choice should be there, I loved standing whilst watching Wigan and think others should be able to do so if they wish to. Saying that, I wouldn’t now be one of those clambering to the standing area as I my kids who would be far more likely to whinge if they had to stand…..FA Cup Winners 2013, sounds good that
