£27 a ticket guarantees they won’t be. 9500-10,000 home fans as usual. Casual fans seem to be a thing of the past nowadays.
As much as it hurts, most Wiganers with a spare £27 this weekend are more likely to spend it watching the best Rugby Club in the world stick 40+ points on Wigan Warriors this Sunday.
The £7m we received for Wildschutt means the lack of parachute payments next year wont hit us as hard.
Looking at the fixtures, our 8 remaining fixtures do not look the most difficult – Preston, Forest, Bristol, Villa, Rotherham, Barnsley, Cardiff & Leeds, and I’d like to think that we could amass at least 16 points from those games.
Then I remember that we’ve won 1 home game in the league since September, and 3 all season.
Taking my younger brother to see Latics v Rochdale one cold December. He spent the entire game on the Shevvy End grass digging himself a hole to sit in and was so upset when he had to leave it behind at the final whistle.
Didn’t take him again.
WJ has already told us that Obertan has not touched a ball for over 3 weeksI’ve not ridden a pushbike since last summer. I reckon I could still manage to get from A to B without crashing or falling off.
Sheff Wed one shot on target one goal.With a conversion rate of 100%, thank fuck they didn’t come to attack!
The transfer window isn’t that important for us, seeing as we can get players on short-term loans whenever we want.
Surely whoever agreed to that ridiculous contract had a good reason.
Should only apply if they took it up whilst he was playing for them and should have been written in that if the offer wasn’t taken up then, then it wouldn’t apply.
A totally ridiculous contract but there was a hell of a lot went on last summer that we don’t know about at all.The clause could only be activated at the expiry of the loan period, which was supposed to be the end of the season. We recalled him, and probably put Barnsley on the back foot, as they expected to only have to make the “to buy or not” call in May.
I would imagine Barnsley are looking at their own squad to see if they have a ready made replacement, and also casting their net further afield to see if there’s a better option available before finalising terms with Morsy. So far, they’ve won one drew one (cup) and lost one without him.
Well spotted that man!
This sort of news should be pushed to the nationals – small club subsidises their tickets by almost 50% because premier league giants are so fucking greedy.
They can opt out of EFL ties. They cant opt out of FA Cup.
It explains why there were 10,000 empty seats tonight for EFL semi-final at £37 a ticket, whilst the ground was full for a 3rd round FA Cup tie against Reading at £45 a ticket.
At £40 a ticket Cambridge Utd made £1.2 million from their share of the gate receipts last season. We’d have to sell over 6500 ST at £180 to raise that type of dough.
Perhaps Sharpie can persuade Man Utd to charge £100 a ticket!
What you need to remember though is that unless Man Utd draw a top 5 premier league side at OT, then a fair percentage of their ST holders, given the choice, would probably not attend.
The fact is, they don’t get a choice (well they do, but it comes with consequences).
In a way I feel sorry for their fans. If they hadn’t shelled out close to £50 to see them turn over a very poor Reading side in a one-sided affair that was played at lunchtime on TV, they’d be banned from attending the home match against Liverpool.
They sell the tickets because they force their adult ST holders to enrol in an auto payment scheme for all FA Cup ties. If their ST holders don’t pay for an FA Cup ticket, their ST is deactivated for the following league game, and not allowed to buy tickets for away fixtures and cup finals.
Thank fuck Sharpie hasn’t adopted that draconian approach or we’d be playing Brentford with three stands empty!
At £45 a ticket and the chances of it being on TV being very high, only the most loyal fans or the very rich ones will be in attendance for this one, which is a shame.
All the other clubs seem to charge a very reasonable figure for FA Cup ties in January – why is it that Man Utd feel the need to continually fleece supporters?
