Yet no official announcement though.

when was the last time in the league we didn't fill the away end?
one thing you can't accuse wigan fans of is not travelling in numbers.
Can't remember the last time i actually saw a try when scoring towards the away end or not been behind a pillar at knowsley road.
Stevo on a Craig Smith intersept, "that was like throwing tomato seeds out of a moving train window and coming back a year later and tomatoes have grown!"
Eddies reaction, "I don't know what he's been taking but i wants some"
Wayne Rooney, meanwhile, says he has failed to be gripped by England's rugby union World Cup bid.
"I've not seen it," said the England striker. "I've been watching the rugby league."

its not a dig, as I say your home support is the envy of a lot of clubs, wish we had same home support, but i would say atleast 5500 of our lot will probably travel, you lucky bring 3500 thats a fact.

Before you think it's a dig, I admire your home crowds with envy, but why not travel to us
1. Your team has enjoyed constant success.
2. To put another one over on your local rivals.
3. A first class stadium with great views.
4. £16 a seat.
5. 5,000 seats available in North Stand.
6. 1,500 seats extra in East if Required (at only £17).
Where we have to pay £19 to stand at KR with leaky roof and shoddy terracing (not very comfortable for youngsters & elderly).
Wigan are not give more than 3,500 allocation at KR as the capacity is only 17,500
Plus the fact of getting a win at KR is almost nil these days.

Some decent points. But I would like to focus on your last point about unlikely to get a win....

If both clubs fortunes were reversed over the last 10 years, you would be lucky to bring 350 to the JJB.
The fact that you have been so sucessful and we have been at best average may have something to do with it
