Read my opening post first. My problem with those who can’t be bothered to go. I didn’t say,” I hate all those poor people who can’t afford to go.” I dislike the number of fans we have who don’t really seem to bothered about supporting the club.
I refuse to believe we only have 1000 fans who can spare £50 to go to the WBA game.
I never brought finances in to the discussion, beyond saying I know the last few weeks have been tough on latics fans wallets.
I simply stated my expectation that we would sell much more tickets than we have.
Other people chose to bring finances in to it. Not me. I responded to people who said Wembley makes it impossible to go to any other games.
Please read the whole discussion first before attacking my posts. This is not about me slating people about their finances. This is me stating my surprise at the limited ticket sales.
I don’t go to every game, as I said. But if you are living that close to the edge you can’t afford West Brom, you probably shouldn’t have a season ticket and you probably shouldn’t be at Wembley either.
And you shouldn’t tell other people how to run their lives, until you’ve had one yourself.[/quote]
My original point is that when we have big away games, we typically take 2-3,000. I expected WBA to be the same and I’m surprised we have sold less than 800 so far.
Other people brought finances in to it, I don’t criticise people for their financial situation. But if people want to argue that Wembley is stopping them going to WBA, frankly I think that’s silly. WBA is a cheap away game, and if your finances allow you go to Wembley then I do t think your finances prevent you from going WBA.[/quote]
Unless you spent all your money going to Wembley!! How do you know the state/arrangements of other people’s finances? Maybe I was right, your mam does give you your pocket money ;)[/quote]
Then I would advise that not going to Wembley might the best option.
As I have said repeatedly, I don’t criticise people for not being able to afford to go to all matches because I can’t do that myself. I just expected us to sell more than the 800 or so we’ve sold so far. I even acknowledged the expensive last few weeks.[/quote]
In what far fetched reality would that ever be the best option?!?!
If you could only afford one you would be off to West Brom would you?[/quote]
I think you should read more carefully. If going to Wembley puts you completely out of pocket, I would advise not going to Wembley.
No mention of WBA, or any other game in that sentence.

Can you post me the menu from the drinking establishment where i can feed and water myself all day for a fiver .The reality is you can realistically make that a £60-£75 day out unless I grab a 6 pack of fruit shoots and get my mother-in-law to do me a lunch box.You can go an away game without getting sloshed you know ;)

I don’t ridicule people typically for not being able to afford to go to a match. I would love to go to all games home and away but I can’t afford it.
However, as football fans we probably all spend more than we should following Latics, and on such a big game I would be doing everything I could to get the cash to go to this match.
Ticket £25, travel £15, £5 on food/drinks if you can’t afford more. £45 is all. How can somebody afford a season ticket, two Wembley trips etc. if they can’t afford £45 for this game?
Most of us have to make choices about what games we go to. This is simply one of those games that there is no choice about, I have to be there.
It’s all down to this weekend.
If we win and one of the big 3 loses I firmly believe we will stay up.
I’d addition to the above.
I’m not one to question people’s support, and I’m aware how expensive the last few weeks have been for Latics fans, but I don’t know why we aren’t taking 2,000+ to WBA. It’s a massive game, tickets are reasonable, it’s not too far away, it’s eminently winnable.
If you can’t be bothered for this game when can you be?
might have summut to do with been skint, spending over a grand on 2 Wembley games doesnt help.
If you wan’t me there , PayPal me a 50 spot over and I will attend :)[/quote]How did you manage to spend a grand on Wembley?
Anyway, £50 is really a drop in the ocean. If you can afford £1,000 on Wembley surely you can afford £50 for one of the biggest games in our history?

Need a big following on Saturday to get behind the boys. I thought they would sell fast. Bigger game than the final.
