Arsenal was more expensive and further away and a game we wasnt expected to win! Unlike your game! :violin:
…and a midweek night game in London when (this may surprise you as a concept) many people work, so couldn’t make it.
Tue 10 Jan 2006.
Wigan v Arsenal in the League Cup Semi. The game was at the JJB, and of course we know it was “little Wigan’s” first ever major semi-final against one of the most famous clubs in the world. We also know that as almost all the support comes from within the town, they didnt have far to travel. We also know that the Premiership Novelty Value was still in full swing, particularly after a hugely impressive first 5 months.
Attendance: 12,181. Less than 50% full. Disgraceful.
Let the excuses flow……(without any reference to rugby, because attending a rugby semi final is hardly a novelty occasion)
Maybe they’d heard tickets for the opening game had gone on sale and were desperate to snap them up because it is a guarranteed sell-out.
We were talking about the queue ouside Carrow Road werent we?
News reaches chubbieville that they have to move a fixture because the landlords have first shout :D :lol: :roll: :roll:Of course Premier League football will have first call on the stadium. After all, it is the world’s most watched sport, beamed via satellite to parts of the globe that the rugby-loving public have probably never heard of.
Now, lets see the football-loving public of Wigan turn up in their thousands to pack the stadium out for this wonderful product. I take it there will be no free tickets for this game, such is its global popularity.
There’s plenty, but the further you make people travel, the less will travel. I thought after 7 years of being amongst a couple of hundred travelling fans, you’d have worked that one out mr mod.
I believe one of the options being considered is the Reebok, which is ideal in size and location.
Yet the fact remains, egg chasing is sh*t.
Support a decent sport.
I do mate. The Wigan Warrington game on Sat will far surpass any other game in any sport this year imo.[/quote]
I think you got this spot on Egg. Sadly, the Warrington fans on here will just have to take consolation in being 2nd best in a marvellous advertisement for sport.
Surely you have got to be asking why a player deemed not good enough by a lower half side can suddenly be the answer to your prayers.
Routledge has repeatedly failed to impress the managers of Spurs, Portsmouth, Villa, Fulham & Newcastle since he signed for Spurs in 2005. He clearly hasnt impressed Warnock enough, nor did he impress Dave Jones at Cardiff when he was shipped out to them on loan.
IMHO, a good CCC player, but a waste of money for a Premier League club.
If that was the case, the fixture change would have been announced two weeks ago, once Sky/ESPN had decided Wigan v Norwich wasnt going to be shown live.
by the way have they told you that the Salford match has been moved to Sunday yet :DI had heard that Sky had selected it for live TV at 6.45pm on Sun 14 August.
and immediately received a ban from the site and universal condemnation.
Criticise all you want, but the Mods on that site immediately ban folk who make offensive statements.
