Have a look on the website. Once you deduct the sections in the stands that are not available and the front 6 rows reserved for flags, then you are left with just under half the map showing “available”. Add on the unavailable and you get more than 10,000 unsold seats. Plus the 5000 for visitors.
The answer to your question depends on the word “sold”. Remember that all U16s got a free one with an adult purchase in the family area, so a good few wouldn’t have been “sold”. From the number of green dots, I would say that around 6,000 have been “sold”, and perhaps another 1000 given away as part of the BOGOF deal.
If the figure had been close to 10,000, then I would imagine the press-office would be shouting it from the rooftops. Sometimes silence says everything.
Here’s another win…
Never understand this “they lied about how many were on” stuff.Why would they want to pay more tax and costs etc than they need?
There’s no tax to pay if a ST holder doesn’t show up. That said, it is commonplace amongst all sporting clubs to include all ST holders on their official attendance.
Hope your evening is as good as mine bullshit……
Newcastle lost, Sunderland maintain their good pre-season form with a draw against a Dortmund side that thumped man it’s, and the warriors had a narrow victory against Wakefield whilst hull and Warrington both lost.
It’s going to be a good weekend for me – everything else sporting-wise is now irrelevant!
Do you actually proof-read your stuff before you type it, or are you really so full of bullshit that you don’t realise it….
You have effectively said that the rugby get 13000 in a league full of derbies, then go on to say the football only get that figure because of all the local competition. Are the local competition in football not derbies, like the rugby, or are the other rugby clubs not local competition like the football? Don’t forget too that Wigan Warriors also have to compete for support with all these “other sports” fans, as money is in short supply and many will have to make a choice between attending a rugby or a football fixture.
Despite these tough economic times, are you also aware that it is over a decade since Wigan Warriors last had a home regular season league game at the DW watched by less than 10,000 people?
Now get your head out of your arse and get your ST bought, tight wad.
All a bit odd this obsession with how many other men watch an activity isn’t it? When I go to the pub I don’t think how many other blokes are in. Or when I take the kids to the cinema I don’t think ‘it’s a disgrace that only 30 turned up for ghost busters’. Why does it matter if 200 go to Doncaster to watch a different sport? Seems to me both clubs have a similar following. Does it really matter?Excellent comment, well said!Yet you have single-handedly closed down the comments section of the WEP with your obsession on the support of a sport you claim to hate.
Fucking Hypocrite
What utter bollocks i know school holidays it just shows we are now a small fish in a rather very big pond other clubs will support their clubs in or out of season last year we had a lot of cling ons and it’s back to reality.Well said Grumpy.
Some folk on here are very quick to criticise others for not attending games that are televised, games arranged at short-notice, games that are miles away in the evening etc, but then when it comes down to it they don’t actually attend cheaply priced games, and don’t even invest in a season ticket that would pay for itself if they committed to attending 9 fucking home games. Less than 600 tickets sold for Bristol City and less than 6000 season tickets sold is an absolute disgrace at that price.
25 quid is excessive. Plus travel and food and drink. Expensive day for single fans never mind if families travel with youngsters.
A twenty pound limit should be compulsory on any ground including The Premier League.Horse shit. Get your tight arse to the games.
Considering it wasn’t a school night, I thought the turnout was pretty atrocious. One wonders what the away followings will be like over the coming months, and whether they’ll be the laughing stock of the league.
274 to Fleetwood – its not exactly that far is it FFS?
And of course, we mustn’t forget the day the Wigan public couldn’t even bother to attend a semi final played in Wigan:
In case you’d forgotten, the folk of Wigan have a track record of not turning up for semi-finals, even when they are a novelty:
I’m so pleased you enjoyed a 4-3 win against Fleetwood. Perhaps it will help boost ticket sales for next Saturday, which I hear are pretty disappointing. It may even help boost your season ticket sales to above 6000.
Another positive for you is that your game with QPR on 27 August wont have its kick-off time changed, unlike the last time your home game clashed with a Warriors appearance at a cup final.
Caldwell OUTKNOBIn this case, your comment is entirely appropriate.
Calling for the managers’ head on the back of a couple of friendly defeats really does take the biscuit, but then again he does have form for doing that sort of thing… ;)
