    Mutty reckons its Friday neet. He said something about when the teams come out on Friday!

    Yes. Get yourself down on Friday. Kick-offs 8pm.

    Rugby League is a minority sport in Wigan these days,whether you like it or not.

    Nobody disagrees with you. Football is definately the live sport most watched by the population of Wigan.

    But a fair percentage of them choose to watch other clubs than Wigan Athletic. Even more so now you are hosting Doncaster & Yeovil rather than Man Utd and Liverpool.

    did the Latics parade the FA Cup around the DW Stadium at half time at their game after our FA Cup victory.
    If so was the reception as good for the Latics as it was for them?

    The first home rugby fixture after the FA Cup final was 28 June, so no they didnt. The manager had quit by then and those players that hadnt followed him out of the door would have been on holiday.

    Even if they did, it wouldnt be the same having Owen Coyle and all the new signings parading a trophy that some other bunch of players won.

    That said, I think it would be a great idea to have both trophies on display as the teams come out on Friday.

    our average currently stands at 14 300 ish a raise of 3000 on the average we had last time we was in this division with other more big fixtures to come i’m sure we will manage to stay at that level or maybe increase it

    5 days ago you said:

    I am confident that the average will be around 16000 this season

    So which do you think it will be – 14300 or 16000?

    1700 represents over 10% less – I hope you are not responsible for producing the financial plan wherever you work!

    I look at this way our previous record attendance against Doncaster was 5834 tonight it was 14374 a significant increase one may say

    I look forward to this rationale come Sunday as to how you will justify a “significant increase”.

    When Wigan and Middlesborough last played the crowd was 16806.[/quote]

    14333 – I await your “positive spin” on this one with baited breath….

    Mutty’s agenda always revolves around a morbid fascination with attendances. I’d like any random Latics fan to explain why he loathes all Wigan RL and wouldn’t want them to win at Wembley (just a couple of sentences will do, nothing too taxing). Curious, that’s all. Ta :)

    Something to do with the then chairman of Wigan RLFC not allowing Latics to play Liverpool at Central Park sometime in the mid-late-80s. Central Park didn’t have segregation and the game concerned was taking not long after rioting Liverpool fans had caused several deaths at a European Cup final.

    I don’t have a fascination with attendances – I only bring the subject up when someone here pokes fun at a rugby attendance. For supporters of a football club who claim to not care about their attendances, it seems to happen an awful lot though!

    Was it in the same league as the Millwall fans having a ding-dong in April?

    in reply to: Warriors #119800

    You are right – it was a crap game. Just as the FA Cup Final was a crap game. And there were empty seats, just as there were in May.

    However the facts are that Wigan now have two of the oldest sporting knock-out trophies in their possession – something never done before and probably wont ever happen again.

    Well done Wigan!

    Correct, but nobody gives a fuck about one of them.[/quote]

    Course they don’t. Your crowd last Tuesday and the lack of press coverage shows that.

    in reply to: Warriors #119799
    You got back quick Mutt or was you like all the other sad bastards in a pub watching on the big screen??

    I live much closer to Wembley than Wigan – Kings Cross is only an hour by train.

    in reply to: Hull Tigers v Norwich today 3.00pm #119797
    Hull reckon they going to be 3 or 4000 down because of it.

    Crowd was over 23500, which is pretty much full.

    But then again, Hull is a big city and they have an old, well-established football club that can shift 23000 tickets, even when one of their two rugby sides are playing at Wembley.

    Latics cant – therein lies the difference.

    in reply to: Hull Tigers v Norwich today 3.00pm #119795

    The last time The Slobs went to Wembley we were at home to Fulham notorious for lack of away following and something like 20 thousand home fans turned up to put two fingers up at the press who were gathering to write their usual garbage. Actually that was one of pur best crowds of the season.

    True that, apart from being totally false. We played QPR and changed the kick-off time.

    Juts thought I’d put that right to save Mutty from coming on and wanking all over your post ;)[/quote]

    You missed the bit about giving out 5,000 free tickets, but apart from that you were correct.

    Maybe you should include it in your next Five for – 5 Latics games in the last 2 years where no free/discounted tickets were offered and the crowd was over 20,000.

    in reply to: To the 5000 or so. #119793
