What happened to the crowd? Did they all leave at t’interval? :P
It was full time and they’d lost – that might explian why the crowd had gone.
Unlike this event when the crowd wasnt there in the first place….
Shame really as it was a really good game. It was one of the last times I visited SP, and was blown away by Gillespie’s skill – I was unaware he was on loan from Man Utd!
Didnt DW say that he’d had over 30 applicants and therefore didnt need to go chasing someone who hadnt applied.
As far as I’m aware, SB will not have applied as there might be an issue with his current employers.
My ticket last year was £280 for 19 games = £14.73 per game.This season will be £310 for 26 games = £11.92 per game.
And your point is….?
Just wondered whether or not the physical price you had to pay for a ST had increased, stayed the same or reduced.
Not as important any more. You’ll be playing Bournemouth, Doncaster & Barnsley, not Man Utd, Spurs & Chelsea next year. Them pit village sides are used to a muddy churned up pitch like.
If memory serves me right, Lyndsey appearing in the local and national press was spreading the message that football was not safe to watch due to the violence whereas RL was a safe family environment (that’s a laugh). I also seem to remember the Wigan RL match day programme regally putting the football club down.If memory serves me right, Lindsay refused permission for a Wigan v Liverpool cup tie to be played at a large, but unsegregated ground at a time when violence at football matches was very much in existance.
Whilst I didnt like him, and do not agree with his “backyard” comment, I do agree that having thousands of unsegregated supporters around Central Park would have been a bad thing – particularly when it was less than 6 months after the Hillsborough disaster, and at a time when crowd safety was very very paramount.
So, if Wimbledon had moved to play in Wigan, rather than Milton Keynes, you’d have been happy about it and expected Uncle Dave to welcome another football club to the town with open arms?
I cant recall Springfield Borough being there for the minimum 10 years that the other dodgy hairstyle said at around the 4.00 mark. I’d say he was the Gobshite. Lindsay was chairman of Wigan and he was speaking from their interests – what else would you expect him to say?
Wigan Athletic win one of the worlds biggest sporting occasions and get relegated in the same season making history.Wigan lad(and latics fan) David Lynn making a name for himself on the massive US golf tour and earning over $1 million alone in his last 2 events.
Sir Bradley Wiggins, an adopted Wiganer (and Warriors fan), winning an Olympic Gold and the worlds greatest bike race.
Does this all mean that our lodgers are the now only the 4th(yes fourth) popular sport in their own back yard ?
Possibly, but the signs as you enter Wigan will need a bit of modification come 6pm on Sunday. Home of Championship football doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.
I cant disagree there. You have undoubtedly made history world-wide.
No team has won the FA Cup and been relegated in the same season before.
Aye.
It’ll be almost like the M62 pit village souperdouperleague fixtures, so more away fans should be able to travel, as all the excuses for not travelling no longer exist.
Doncaster Belles away on a Tuesday night in December should be a must.
It’s not like nipping 20 miles down the road every fortnight ya numbskullNo, that’s next season isn’t it.
No Monday night games
No Sunday 4pm games
No £40+ tickets
Hardly any London trips
Half of the games within 100 miles.3,000 at all those local away games then. No excuses please.
Enjoy your party on Monday.
I’d say you were the one hurting as a result of seeing there weren’t the swathes of empty seats at Wembley that you’d hoped for.Only thanks to Man City managing to shift tickets for the lower tier from the corner flag to the halfway line, which were supposed to be for Wigan fans.
